IBF Approves Klitschko Mormeck

Current WBO/IBF/SUPER WBA/IBO/RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO's) rescheduled his fight with former cruiserweight champion turned heavyweight contender Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO's) on March 3rd at the ESPIRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.  The only problem was the date rescheduled for was the same time period the IBF had issued Wladimir to defend against a mandatory opponent. The IBF has stated recently that due to the circumstances with Wladimir's kidney stone condition they have approved Wladimir's defense against Mormeck and gave him an extension to face the mandatory Tony Thompson. So the fight will go as is without any repercussions.
