The world champion Klitschko was due to put his WBO, WBA, IBF and IBO belts on the line on October 24 at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf against the British contender, but apparently suffered an injury to his leg in training, pulling a tendon in his right calf.
Fury has revealed that the new date will be November 28 at the same 55,000-capacity venue with tickets valid for the original date with ITV and Sky Sports Box Office keen to broadcast the fight live.
It was originally due to be on pay-per-view through Sky, but could be broadcast on terrestrial television.
"There are two TV stations in the running and that is ITV and Sky Sports Box Office, and we haven't confirmed which station it will be broadcast live on yet.
"Negotiations have been reached between the fighters and the promotions so all we are waiting on now is confirmation from the broadcaster, so whoever wants it better crack on with it."
Fury prompted plenty of publicity earlier this week by arriving at a pre-fight press conference dressed as Batman.
Fury was hugely frustrated by this latest news after former world champion and fellow Brit David Haye twice withdrew from fights with him due to injury.
