Fury Edges Klitschko In Pre-Fight Weigh
Half will want Fury to emerge victorious and the other will be desperate to see Klitschko the undeniable ruler of the heavyweight division shut Fury’s mouth for good.

“Apollo Creed meets the Italian Stallion!” proclaims Carl Weathers in the original Rocky.
The 39-year-old said: “I don’t like it when things are boring and done in a certain way and we try to hype up the excitement around a fight”.
Fury also has underrated stamina.
The last of Klitschko’s three defeats was back in 2004. Nicknamed Steel Hammer by his countrymen.
Wladimir Klitschko: 245.3 lbs.
Defence is a big key in this fight as well as attack, but if you’re too defensive you’ve got no attack… it’s a fine balance to get inside and short circuit Wladimir at what he does.
On his roots, he has said: “You are born a traveller”. Ready to face the dominant heavyweight champion of this era. The older Klitschko is the mayor of Kiev, Ukraine.
“I know that sounds insane, because he’s a Super champion, but I see so many chinks in his armour”.
Klitschko is favored in this bout, as an undisputed champion should be. Klitschko’s grandad wasn’t a German, was he?
But Tyson Fury has promised to end the Klitschko reign in Dusseldorf this Saturday.
After concerns about Tyson Fury’s gloves at the pre-fight news conference, Klitschko’s manager Bernd Bonte says that they will arrive before Friday’s weigh-in.
As the fight looms, those backing the underdog have pointed to bouts such as Sonny Liston v Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali v Leon Spinks and Mike Tyson v Buster Douglas but the truth is, nobody has any idea what is going to happen when the first bell goes.
But the Manchester man insists he is not bothered about the cash. I think Fury will do well at the start and it’ll be awkward but I think Klitschko will get a late stoppage. “She never got outta the amateurs”.
Tyson’s shrewd uncle and trainer Peter Fury – who wasn’t in his corner for the Pajkic and Cunningham fights – will have a strategy perfected. “You’re an old man, you’re getting knocked out”.
Wladimir Klitschko has held the title since 2005, recently passing the 10 year mark.
For his part, Klitschko has played the part of the gentleman in the run-up to the match. “He is a very challenging individual, both in his manners and his boxing”.
For his part Klitschko is adamant the British challenger’s attempts to get under his skin have failed – but he adds that they will provoke a reaction in the ring. I’m going to do a demolition job on Waldimir.
In his own words he sees a man before him, with two arms, two legs made of blood and bone.
“I’ll have fans on the edge of their seats on Saturday and it will be my glory night”. “But you know what they say in boxing: Everyone has a plan-until they get hit. I’ll put him to bed in the sixth round”.
