World champion Wladimir Klitschko believes Tyson Fury is going to provide him with one of the toughest fights of his illustrious career.

Klitschko defends his IBF, WBO and WBA belts against mandatory challenger Fury in Dusseldorf on November 28, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

I think this will be one of the hardest fights of my career.

Klitschko postponed the fight just two days later, citing a calf problem, but the Ukrainian is taking nothing for granted ahead of their eagerly-awaited meeting later this month.

 "I think this will be one of the hardest fights of my career," he told Boxing Scene.

"This time the opponent will be taller, heavier, with very long arms, and he is also younger and has great ambitions. 

"This guy really wants to prove himself in the ring and confirm what he keeps telling everyone, that he's the best in the world.
