Klitschko has taken up the rematch clause contract in the original fight and insists he will prove he is better than he showed in losing to Fury on Saturday.
"I was really frustrated directly after the fight, but after some short nights I now know that I want to show that I'm much better than my performance on Saturday," said the former WBA Super, IBF and WBo champ.
"I couldn't show my full potential at any time. This is what I want to change in the rematch - and I will. Failure is not an option."
Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy wants the rematch in Wembley and Klitschko's team will now open negotiations to agree on a date and venue.
Klitschko's promoter Bernd Bönte claims their second fight will be even bigger than Saturday's clash, which was watched by over 50,000 fans inside Dusseldorf's Esprit Arena.
"There will be a huge worldwide interest in this fight, which already can be billed as the fight of the year 2016," he said.
"We received so many questions from fans and journalists after last Saturday. The new champion and his challenger will answer all of them inside the ring."
Fury'd trainer and uncle Peter Fury says he is focused on defending against Klitschko in May or June, before a possible unification clash with WBC champ Deontay Wilder at the end of next year.
“This Glazkov, whoever he is, will just have to get in line with everyone else,” he said.
“We’ve got a rematch clause with Klitschko and that is paramount for us.
“The rough plan for 2016 is to get that rematch out of the way and then look for a unification fight with Wilder.
“I think apart from a rematch with Klitschko, Wilder is the biggest fight out there for us. Then we will deal with all the andatories.”
The IBF could force Glazkov’s claims because Klitschko was due to defend that belt next and the Fury fight was mandated by the WBA and WBO.
Who will win the rematch?
FURY or KLITSCHKO??
