“I will be making use of my contractual option against Fury”.

The self-titled Gypsy King was spotted tucking into the feast as he continued to celebrate his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf on Saturday night, securing the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. “‘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”.
Peter Fury, the champion’s trainer and uncle, welcomed Klitschko’s declaration. “I tried but it didn’t work”, said Klitschko, who at 1.98-meters (6-foot-6), was in the unusual position of facing someone taller. “It is up to him to decide what he wants to do”.
“Instead we are looking at unifying the four belts”.
However, the former champ won’t back down easily as he immediately wants to cash in his rematch clause and try to recapture his title as soon as possible.
‘If they force Tyson to fight Glazkov, it will not happen.
No date has been set for the return – but the venue is likely to be Wembley Stadium, London.
“I don’t know where it’s going to be”.
However Fury claims he was misquoted by the Mail on Sunday, he said: “It’s newspapers trying to sell papers on writing bad things about me. We’ll have an answer definitely by mid-to-end of January”.
Klitschko says the desire to prove a point is behind his decision to take up his option on an immediate rematch with the new champion.
Let me put it this way: I would rather make a voluntary defence, for all those titles, against Hughie Fury, than David Haye. If not Fury, who is the latest fighter to step into the TBRB Top 10 pound for pound rankings?
After losing for the first time in over ten years to the 27-year-old Tyson Fury last Saturday, Wladimir Klitschko has officially announced that he will be exercising his rematch clause sometime in 2016.

“I am better than that performance and want the world to see the real me”. I couldn’t show my full potential at any time.
