The words were so freakish, that the newspaper ran with the headline “Is Tyson Fury fit to fight Wladimir Klitschko for the world heavyweight title?”

Wilder had been mooted to be considering a fight with unbeaten Ukrainian, Vyeschlav Glazkov for his January date, although nothing has yet been officially confirmed, and in the wake of Fury’s win over Klitschko, IBF #1 Glazkov has taken to calling the new champion out himself.
But Fury opted to travel home by auto from Germany via the Dutch port of Rotterdam, taking a ferry to Hull in a mammoth voyage after discovering his wife Paris was pregnant with the couple’s third child. You can take the man out of Ireland but you can’t take the Irishness out of the man…

“I don’t have any hate for anybody. Maybe that can be a reality one day”, he said. They are the three venues I wanted to box in – I wasn’t really interested in Las Vegas and all of them places.
“I’m not homophobic, I’m not racist. I’m born and bred in Manchester in England but people who know me know I’ve been back and forward to Ireland for a long, long time”. I felt the same way, because Wladimir is one of the most skillful fighters in the world. “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”. All I have for people is love. “I’ll be unified champion at some point”.
However, Fury’s interest in bringing a boxing event to Croke Park may dash our hopes of a born and bred Irishman bringing combat sports back to Croker. I went to America for Ireland and won a fight, and I boxed Ireland versus Poland and won two fights.
“I was eligible to qualify through my father being born in Ireland but there was a lot of politics going on”.

“I would describe myself (as British-Irish) to be honest”, he added.
