Heck, Wladimir was being cheered all night by the fans, and yet he still fought horribly.

“I never believed he would do it but he did”. Joseph Parker has since said he is ready to take on any heavyweight in the world.
This has seemingly prompted Klitschko to make his decision public sooner than what he said at the press conference, when he declared that he would spend Christmas with his family before making a decision. “I saw in his eyes tonight he was going to lose the fight and he saw the new, hungry champion in me”. “We worked so hard for this”.
But who will Tyson Fury fight next after dispatching Wladimir Klitschko?
Klitschko is also said to be keen on a rematch but it would mean Fury vacating the IBF world heavyweight belt in order to facilitate such a contest.
“I will be making use of my contractual option for a rematch against Fury”.
“The rough plan for 2016 is to get that rematch out of the way and then look for a unification fight with Wilder”.
In the immediate aftermath of his victory, Fury sad he had no problem returning to the scene of his triumph. I know that everybody loves a victor, everybody wants to be a part of something good.
“I went home dehydrated before I even touched anything, I was so frightened of being drug-tested and failing the drugs test”, he said, recounting the events leading to the bout over the weekend. “So I guess there was a dance competition going on [not] an actual fight”. If you say I’m fighting in Japan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, American, wherever it has to be, it has to be.
In 2011, Fury told a boxing website: “I have been coming back and forward (to Belfast) for a long time since I was 12 years old”.

Peter Fury added: “Tyson had a lot more to give as well. One of them is Madison Square Garden – I’ve done that one; one of them is Old Trafford, Manchester United – I’ve not done that one; and the other is Croke Park”.
