Klitschko-Pulev fight rescheduled for Nov. 15

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Wladimir Klitschko’s management says his heavyweight title defense against mandatory IBF challenger Kubrat Pulev has been rescheduled for Nov. 15 in Hamburg.

The fight was originally slated for Sept. 6 but had to be postponed after Klitschko tore a bicep in sparring and was forced to miss four weeks of training.

The Bulgarian challenger is undefeated in 20 fights, with 11 knockouts.

Klitschko’s record is 62-3, including 53 KOs. It will be his 26th title fight.
