Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tyson Fury, billed as Kollisionskurs (German for Collision Course), was a professional boxing match contested between WBA (Unified), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, and Tyson Fury. The fight took place on 28 November 2015 at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany. Fury was declared the winner by unanimous decision.[1] This ended Klitschko's reign of nearly 10 years, the second longest in heavyweight history.[2] Klitschko was entitled to a rematch per the fight contract.[3][4] Despite this, Fury was stripped of the IBF heavyweight title for agreeing to the rematch instead of facing the IBF mandatory challenger, Vyacheslav Glazkov.
