Dan Rafael of espn.com is reporting that the rematch between IBF/WBA/WBO Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson will be televised in the United States by EPIX on July 7
“I have been waiting a long time for this rematch,” Thompson said. “Last time I had (a knee) injury which I suffered in training. In Berne, I will complete what I missed out on four years ago. I will knock Klitschko out and take all his belts to the U.S.”
“Thompson is a strong and difficult opponent fighting southpaw,” Klitschko said. “He has a very good technique and gave me one of the toughest challenges in my career. Through his height it is a fight at eye level and I know that he has gained a lot of confidence through his winning streak.
“I am looking forward to defending my titles in Berne, where my brother (and fellow heavyweight champion) Vitali fought in 2009 with great support of the Swiss crowd.”
