“For me it was about beating Wladimir Klitschko, the man who couldn’t be beaten”.

The 26-year-old, regarded as one of the hottest prospects in world boxing, watched on as Fury shocked Klitschko to claim his WBA, IBF and WBO titles in Dusseldorf over the weekend.
“I want that fight to happen as soon as possible”, Deontay Wilder said, via the BBC.
Tyson Fury’s dad has revealed how he tried to stop the world heavyweight champ from starting boxing.
“There was a lot of interest in him [online] and he won’t appeal to everyone but I still think people will want to see how he does”.
‘Next year is going to be a great year for me, regardless. “Everything is falling in our plan, our time and our planning for what we want to do”.
And the thought of trying to bang Fury to the body or on the inside when Tyson was attempting to wrap him up in a clinch was nonexistent.
A rematch between Fury and Klitschko is a strong possibility in the near future – with the British boxer planning on taking some time off before deciding his next move.
The Czar, having won an Olympic bronze medal in Beijing in 2008, is unbeaten in all 22 of his professional fights, winning 13 of them by knockout. Let’s laugh at his name, shall we?’ Fury said after seeing off Klitschko. Wilder was looking to face Klitschko, who was expected to successfully defend his titles, but Saturday’s result has put a potential fight between Klitschko and Wilder on hold. Wladimir Klitschko was the number one in the division.
There is a rematch in the fight contract between Fury and Klitschko, and Peter Fury – the new champion’s trainer and uncle – says a decision will be made by the end of January on whether it goes ahead. “I’m a true natural fighter”. “I’d rather fight my cousin, Hughie, than give that pretender a pay day”, Fury stated. That doesn’t mean Joshua can’t still have a good career and blast Fury out when/if he finally gets a fight against him.

Fury, at 2.06 meters some eight centimetres taller than his opponent, kept Klitschko at bay with the champion unable to unleash his lethal right and reduced to jabbing away with his left whenever he managed to get within striking distance and doing little damage. “Absolutely point-blank, I will say Haye will never get a chance after what he did to me”.
