“If people don’t like it, change the channel”.
“We know the cheats, these people are extremely good at cheating”, Fury said at his press conference in Bolton on Monday attended by his dad, John Fury, uncle and trainer, Peter Fury with a reserved place for late Hughie Fury.
Prior to the bout I couldn’t pick Fury to win, but I felt he was a live underdog because of his awkwardness and the fact that Wladimir was aging in dog-years.
Feeling Christmassy at his media day (Jon Super/PA) “I don’t care”.
The Telegraph reported that during Friday’s weigh-in, Fury was baffled that the scales the orgnisers provided had him at 17st 8lbs (112 kgs).
Not only this, Fury refused to drink any water back in his dressing room too fearing that it may have been sabotaged as informed to him by his close sources. That weight was confirmed when he returned to his hotel at his suite in Dusseldorf.
“I just want to go home, get my feet up, put the television on, and have a jam sandwich”, said Fury. This is a new beginning in boxing.
Talking about his style, Wilder added: “I’m going to try to disfigure you so bad that your kinfolks won’t recognise you at the end of the fight”. “Anyone who wants to discredit my performance is just from pure jealousy”. “Wladimir deserves a rematch”, Vitali Klitschko, also a former heavyweight champion, who was in his brother’s corner said. The decision will be made early in 2016.
America’s undefeated WBC champion Wilder – with 34 KOs from 35 fights – is keen to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Britain’s Lennox Lewis in 2000.
Fury doesn’t want to fight David Haye and Deontay Wilder.
Celebrating at the fight (Sebastian Konopka/PA) “I’m not interested in buying nice stuff any more”.
“I underachieved. I could have been better, but I got used”.

Luckily with today´s technology I can still watch those good old fights in the Heavyweight division with such fights as, Morrison vs Ruddock, Bowe vs Holyfield, Tyson going to distance for the first time against James “Quick” Tillis or Larry Holmes vs Carl “The Truth” Williams… I’m not giving him a payday. Fury snr said in a passionate monologue that his son had proved all the doubters wrong.
