Wladimir's defence reset for March
The heavyweight title bout between Wladimir Klitschko and Jean-Marc Mormeck has been reset for March 3.
The fight, originally scheduled for last month, was postponed after Klitschko underwent surgery to have a kidney stone removed.
The two are due to fight for the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF titles held by Klitschko.
Mormeck’s camp said on Friday the bout would be held at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, where it was due to take place on December 10 last year.
Both camps agreed on the date last December but the meeting was pending the IBF’s approval, which has been given by the WBA, the WBO, the IBO and the IBF, according to Mormeck's camp.
The 35-year-old Klitschko is looking to score his 50th knockout in 60 professional bouts when he takes on the former cruiserweight champion.
Klitschko's older brother, Vitali, holds the only other major heavyweight belt after retaining his WBC title last September by beating Poland's Tomasz Adamek.
Mormeck has had only three heavyweight fights since he lost his WBC and WBA cruiserweight titles to Briton David Haye in 2007.
