New WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury and his team are “excited” by the possibility of their rematch with Wladimir Klitschko and hope to secure the fight on British soil, his Uncle and trainer, Peter has revealed.

Fury has no problem giving the 39-year-old veteran his chance, even if it is in Germany again.
“I have a pre-Christmas gift for Tyson Fury and all boxing fans around the world”, Klitschko said.
Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente is potentially open to the idea of the Klitschko-Fury rematch taking place in the United Kingdom if it makes sense as far as the money the fight can generate. “The German people really did show me some love, and I just hope I entertained”.
Peter Fury said: “Yes he is, it’s in the contract”.
Fury took away Klitschko’s four titles in a stunning unanimous decision in Duesseldorf on Saturday night, ending the Ukrainian’s 9 ½-year reign as champion.
“I want to work my way up to mandatory position”. “I saw in his eyes tonight he was going to lose the fight and he saw the new, hungry champion in me”.
Tyson Fury claims he suffered from dehydration after his shock heavyweight title win against Wladimir Klitschko because he refused to drink water in his dressing room in case it was drugged in a bid to discredit him.
‘To be honest it doesn’t matter to me where I fight.
Fury added: “Hughie would give me a much better fight than Haye, because at least he’d throw some punches back”.
Bellator President Scott Coker recently told Sherdog.com that negotiations to bring Fury to the Viacom-owned organization would have become “extremely serious” had he been vanquished by Klitschko. “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”.

If everything goes according to plan, the fight might happen summer next year at the Wembley Stadium according to Fury’s promoter, Mick Hennessy per The Guardian.
