Unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has two mandatory challengers to deal with, the WBO's Tony Thompson and the IBF's Alexander Povetkin, and both bouts are due. However, Klitschko plans to first defend against Thompson.
Shelly Finkel, Klitschko's adviser, told ESPN.com that they are in the process of trying to secure an exception from the IBF so Klitschko can first face Thompson.
Assuming they can obtain the exception, Klitschko-Thompson would take place July 12 on HBO in Germany, Finkel said.
