British heavyweight Tyson Fury will fight Wladimir Klitschko for the Ukrainian's world heavyweight titles in Dusseldorf, Germany on October 24.

Fury, who is unbeaten in 24 fights, successfully defended his European heavyweight title in London in March.

Klitschko, 39, is WBA, IBF and WBO champion and has not lost for 11 years.

Fury, 26, said on Twitter he could not wait for what would be the "best fight in heavyweight history" and added he would knock out Klitschko.

The fight will be a record-breaking 28th heavyweight title bout for Klitschko and his 19th defence in his second reign as world champion.

Speaking after he beat Bryant Jennings in his last fight in April, he said he was "ready" for Fury.

The 6ft 9in Manchester fighter beat Romania's Christian Hammer in his most recent contest.

Lets see if he backs out again; he was practically set to fight Wladimir a couple of years ago, but he went for David Haye instead (which never happened, due to Haye's injuries). I'm just gonna say bye bye to his perfect record now to save time.

Does Wladimir Klitschko have any following in the US at all? We know they don't, but if Boxing had any brains they would get this fight on CBS. When was the last time a heavyweight title match has been on network TV? Why Boxing is just letting MMA (which I prefer) continue to run them over is beyond me.

Because it will be a 12 round decision, with sound technical boxing, and therefore an even worse sale than a Floyd fight? Klitschko is the farthest thing from Mike Tyson there is.

Probaby but Boxing still should have a heavyweight title fight on network TV (it be free so no one will feel ripped off) sometime in the next decade...

For that you need an interesting champion to justify expending the air time. Maybe if Deontay Wilder starts fighting guys that matter...

 

Damn, those guys beat the ###### out of each other.

 

I want to see this guy fighting Klitchko 

 

He already lost to Vitali, and badly. He was mauled to bits. Wladimir would crush him over 12 rounds.

Yeah but he is hilarious. 

 

Boxing needs to be fun again. 

 

Tyson was insane, which made it lots of fun to wach.

  • 2 weeks later...

why they haven't merges to a unified championship title already?

 

You haven't followed boxing in quite a while, right?

 

Basically, to fight for a belt and make money, you have to pay belt fees. Different organizations have no interest in unifying their belts, since that means less money rolling in. So it will NEVER happen. Some guy will just have 20 or 30 belts. Look at Floyd, he got one of his belts stripped because he didn't want to pay the fee. He's so famous (and near retirement) that it doesn't matter in the big picture, but most guys on "normal" shows need a belt to get the money rolling from CBS and HBO. So... alphabet soup organizations are here to stay, sadly.

wow.  i am suddenly WAY more interested in the fight! :woot:

 

since i am not a huge fan, i always though that klichko fights were super boring.   nice to see a tall man with same/bigger reach then him, promising to make it personal :)

 

i will be betting against klitcho, btw.      not much, but i definitely put some money down.

If I were you, I'd save your money. Fury won't win; he's all talk and no trousers.

Yeah he's had no real competition whatsoever other than journey men and fat sacks of crap

Put it a lot better than I could. (Y) Anthony Joshua's in the same position, but unlike Fury, he's actually got the potential to be champion (plus, he's not an arrogant ######).

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
