Having brought Wladimir Klitschko’s nine-and-a-half-year reign as champion to an end on Saturday night, Fury realised his childhood dream in Desseldorf, Germany.

Joseph Parker puts his undefeated record on the line against Daniel Martz in Hamilton on Saturday. I have always said I would like to fight at Croke Park.

“Failure is not an option”, said Klitschko, 39, on his prospects of winning back the titles. I’m a true natural fighter.

Klitschko’s older brother, Vitali, believes his brother is deserving of a rematch and said, according to Sky Sports, “It is up to him to decide what he wants to do”.

Fury returned to the country by vehicle in the early hours of this morning following his history points win over Klitschko in Dusseldorf over the weekend. “‘The reason I say that is because if Klitschko had won everyone would say ‘the champion did it again, he’s won and was expected to win”.

However, Fury’s most inciting accusations were related to the potential for him to be drugged by his opponent’s camp.

“I don’t know where it’s going to be”. “Klitschko worked tirelessly to keep them together and we do not want to have to give any of them away”.

“I think Tyson can do a lot better than he did”, Peter Fury said.

New heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s trainer Peter Fury has been talking about wanting the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) to take place in the United Kingdom in 2016.

And the Olympic champion admits the public’s appetite for a bout with Fury could make the fight happen sooner rather than later.

Nevertheless, Fury, 27, is savouring the fruits of his victory. “One thing I can say about the rematch is that it’s going to be explosive”.

During his career, he has held the British, Irish, European and Commonwealth heavyweight belts. I’ve enjoyed it. I got a great reception from the German fans.

“They are like leeches, sucking blood out of people”.
