He is the first member of the travelling community to become heavyweight champion of the world. The contract for this fight included an immediate rematch clause and the Ukrainian must officially confirm he will take up the option within two months.

Peter Fury, however, insisted the British camp will have more say in the next encounter, suggesting that a fight in Britain – possibly at Wembley stadium – is high on their wishlist.

Other than that, Fury was so confident that he even bet £200,000 on himself to win the fight.

But before he had a chance to unify the titles, Klitschko gave up his IBF, WBO and WBA belts, as well as titles from the IBO and The Ring. “I’d love to come back to Germany, because where better to beat him than in his own back yard?”

Fury is ready for a contractual rematch with the ex-champ.

“And he said ‘from the United Kingdom…’ and I hit the floor completely, I had 16 people around me jumping up and down”. Its not come easy.

“Why do we need to mention Deontay Wilder”, Fury asked.

Fury has revealed former world champion Vitali’s freaky gesture on Saturday night.

“Was that a world champion for 10 years?” “If Deontay Wilder wants a unification fight hes going to have to wait, because Wladimir Klitschko has a round two — ding ding ding!”. 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.

Fury said he is not a hobbyist, like Wilder. “I tried but it didn’t work”, said Klitschko, who at 1.98-meters (6-foot-6), was in the unusual position of facing someone taller in the 2.09-meter (6-foot-9) Fury. “Let’s have a laugh at his name shall we?” Fury said he had silenced his critics. Ill just say that we didnt see much of Wladimirs potential (against Fury).”.

While Fury took a small purse to have his shot, he would earn significantly more as the defending champion next time around, particularly if he travelled to Klitschko’s adopted homeland once more.

Fury who was awarded the fight 115-112 115-112 116-111 on the judges’ scorecards captured the WBA IBF IBO and WBO titles
