Betting firms didn’t give Tyson Fury a hope in hell of smashing the decade-long reign of Wladimir Klitschko and neither did anyone else.
“I believe I can beat anyone, so I can beat Tyson Fury”, added Joshua. “What can we do about this?”, Fury said to Sky Sports.
“It’s been four days now and I need some time to understand what happened and to decide my next steps”, he said on Instagram.
“I think it’s totally unfair and unprofessional from the IBF, because Tyson was crowned champion only on Saturday”.
6 ft 9in Fury kept Klitschko at bay in the fight, with the champion unable to unleash his lethal right and reduced to jabbing away with his left whenever he managed to get within striking distance and doing little damage. If you say I’m fighting in Japan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, American, wherever it has to be, it has to be.
“I’ve always said that I’d like to fight at Croke Park so maybe that can be a reality one day”, he said on Today with Sean O’Rourke on RTÉ Radio 1.
As part of the contract that brought the two heavyweights together, the 39-year-old had a rematch clause giving him the chance to regain his titles, and that is something he plans to do.
“I had good information from good resources not to touch anything in the changing rooms because they might try to drug you”, Fury said.
The Ukrainian lost his WBA Super, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles to Fury, who won the bout on points, at the Espirit Arena in Dusseldorf. But with Glazkov, he’s a fighter with controversial wins over Steve Cunningham and Derric Rossy and a controversial draw against Malik Scott.
“Hopefully we will have an answer (on the venue) in the next few weeks”.

“Tyson was the faster and better man tonight”, Klitschko said on the night of the big fight.
