Fury fully believes he will win and dethrone the long reigning Klitschko and then do it all over again in a rematch, where he is contractually obliged to have if Klitschko loses their initial first meeting.

Fury had kept the champion waiting for fully 15 minutes before they could start this so-called press conference.

“Going through a lot of fighters through the past years, I have studied the psychology in a certain way about myself and others”, Klitschko told ESPN.com.

He added: “Give Tyson Fury a round of applause”.

Klitschko said of Haye’s “decapitation” threats and Fury’s song and dance: ‘It seems it’s like this when I fight an Englishman. There’s no doubt in my mind I can’t beat Wladimir Klitschko.

“I was watching this fight in New York and I was very shocked with his behavior”, Klitschko said. He’s had all those defenses, won all those fights, beat all those Americans, all those Europeans, but he ain’t beating me.

Fury said: “I’m not bothered what he does now or what he will do”.

With that being said that puts Joshua firmly on his radar although talk of about with David Haye, who twice pulled out of planned meetings due to injury, has been dismissed. I can not wait. I wish them both the best of luck and not too many emotions.

“I’m going to get on top of you”. If that happens once I get up I’ll give you the biggest hug in the world and there’ll be no excuses from me’. I don’t want nicking it on points… He’s getting knocked out, and you’re [Banks] getting egg on your face.

“I’m coming to knock you spark out”.
