“Let’s laugh at his name, shall we?” the champion said.

Vardy surpassed former United star Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record – held since 2003 – for netting in consecutive matches by scoring in the 24th minute. “One thing I can say about it is that it’s going to be explosive”.
The 27-year-old Fury was awarded the fight in Duesseldorf 115-112, 115-112 and 116-111 by the judges to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO belts as the Ukrainian suffered his first defeat since 2004.
Fury has already made his mark in a heavyweight division badly in need of a strong character and he proved he can trash talk with the best of them in the fight’s build-up.
“With Floyd Mayweather gone, Wlad took his place and I just took him out”. The ones who disbelieved were very large.
“We were trying for two years to have another child”. “I was fat, out of shape, 24 stone, I didn’t think I was going to go anywhere because I wasn’t taking it seriously”.
Many scribes noted the confidence and skills of “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury, but believed Klitschko’s superior experience would carry the day for the Ukraine superstar. “I couldn’t find the right punches to land and the right distance”.
“He landed some good
shots on me but not one rocked me”. Tyson was quick with his body shots and his head movement…
Fury is keen to spend time over the festive period with his family, including pregnant wife Paris, who he serenaded at ringside after his victory. “I didn’t really care at that point because I knew I wasn’t doing the right training, I knew I wasn’t doing the right things”.
“People can say what they want about me – that I’m clumsy, slow, fat, chinny…but tonight I’m the heavyweight champion”.
He also comes form great boxing stock; John was a bare knuckle fighter and unlicensed boxer before becoming professional and he is a cousin of WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee and heavyweight Hughie Fury.
“You’re a great champion Vlad, thanks very much for having me”. I had Fury winning so many more rounds, I don’t know why it was so close on the scorecards, ‘ Haye added on Sportsweek. “It’s a Jerry Maguire moment for me and Mick Hennessy – everyone wrote us off but we’ve done it”.
“Tyson can raise his game”.
He said his rise to become Heavyweight Champion was not easy and despite being undefeated so far in his career, he was constantly written off.
