Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko appear finally ready to get it on for a second time for the right to be called the lineal world heavyweight champion.

The Furious One sustained an ankle injury in June to postpone the initial date for the rematch on July 9.

Then both Fury and his brother, heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury, were charged by UK Anti-Doping on June 24 "with presence of a prohibited substance ," though both fighters denied the allegation.

Now though, Peter Fury has revealed on Twitter that despite a lot of "political c***," the fight is all but finalised with an announcement imminent.

"I feel we are finally there with Fury vs Klitschko. Expect an announcement very soon. A lot of political c*** but hopefully all done. October 29 Manchester Arena," Fury stated.

Fury also added that the Manchester Arena had been booked for that date and that the fighters, lawyers and promoters were all ready.

The 28-year-old shocked the world last November to pick up the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO world heavyweight titles against the Ukrainian in Dusseldorf.

The Manchester fighter was soon stripped of his IBF strap though due to not defending it against his mandatory, which led to Anthony Joshua eventually winning it.
