Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko: Heavyweight champion to undergo a drugs test before they meet in Manchester on October 29
Klitschko manager Bernd Boente says both boxers have tests written into their contract
TYSON FURY will take a drug test ahead of his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko on October 29.
The heavyweight champion will meet his Ukrainian rival again in Manchester, having shocked him to win the unified world title last November.
Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente says both fighters will have tests - conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association in Las Vegas.
Fury, 28, was supposed to meet Klitschko on July 9 but the fight was postponed because of an ankle injury.
Weeks later Fury was suspended from boxing after testing positive for a banned substance by the UK Anti-Doping Agency.
The Manchester-born boxer took them to the high court over the charge.

Both he and cousin Hughie - also a heavyweight boxer - had their bans lifted in August "pending full determination of the charges," said UKAD.
A hearing is set to take place in November, after the rematch.
Fury failed to show at a scheduled press conference last week, claiming his car had broken down on the way to the venue.
Klitschko said: "I strongly believe everything happens for a reason.
"This fight is going to happen even if we have bumps in the road.
"There’s not much ‘if’ [the fight will go ahead].
"But it has been a struggle because I just want to be active."
