Being the heavyweight champion with a degree in sports medicine, Klitschko thinks he has the remedy for Fury’s “mental issues”.

Haye, who turns 35 next month, has been out of action for three and a half years but believes a return to the summit of the sport is possible and has his sights set on facing any one of the current world title holders.
“A lot of people on the outside say Tyson is this and Tyson is that”. Pointing out that he has friends who work in the circus industry, Klitschko insisted that he would help Fury get a job as a clown, with the world-famous Cirque du Soleil. After four rounds my trainer said, ‘look, he’s a big guy, he’s now going to start getting exhausted ‘. I’ve been observing him the past few weeks, and I’ve seen him with his behavior and how he acts. “I have made David Haye a better person from fighting me and he confirmed it”.
Stand in front of him, that’s all I say. He’s too big, too slow, he can’t do this, he can’t do that.
“You have a man that is taller than me so obviously his body is going to be right there”, he said, adding that he’s been aggressive with tall opponents. I mean, it might be useful for Fury for about one round, but after that, he’ll have an adrenalin crash and will be back to his normal simple easy going self.
But then he’ll just step to the side and I nearly fall out of the ring. I think it’ll be a late knockout or points for Fury. He’s leaning on the back leg and is still able to move sideways. He’s so skilled. He’s a natural.
“I was with Tyson the other week in Leeds and had a good chat to him for quite a while”, Mitchell said.
Nevertheless, after Haye pulled out of two scheduled bouts with Fury due to injury, the 27-year-old still seemingly hasn’t forgiven him after putting his career on hold for a significant period of time.
