“Long time lineal heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko thinks it is going to be a case of “been there, done that” when he fights giant 6ft 9″ challenger Tyson Fury in Germany on October 24th, comparing his loquacious challenger’s antics to that of David Haye, who famously taunted the brothers numerous times in the lead up to his 2011 loss to Wladimir.

The 26-year-old Mancunian (24-0-KO18) was in playful and then aggressive mood at the first press conference for his showdown with WBO, WBA (super) and IBF champion Klitschko (64-3-KO53) in Dusseldorf – enthralling the German media with some mischievous insults and solemn threats.
The pair are set to meet in Dusseldorf on October 24 and Fury is convinced he will be the first man to inflict a defeat on the Ukrainian since his loss to Lamon Brewster back in 2004. I want to rid you out of the heavyweight division. You have as much charisma as my underpants – zero, none!
Fury used some bad language: “I’m an American-style fighter with European fitness and that adds up to you’re f*****”.
“I believe he has never faced a challenge like me before and I don’t believe he will again”.
Fury slammed down a microphone and knocked over a table before storming out of the press conference in March previous year to publicise a fight against Dereck Chisora and has become renowned for the streams of invective aimed at his prospective opponents. You’re still a robotic person.
Klitschko kinda looked satisfied he had motivated Fury into performance after what precisely before the place seemed to be a frustrated you simply push talk with with the Esprit Arena. You certainly are a automated customer, lackluster to watch after. “Fury says he’s fighting an old man, an old man who’s wrinkled and has grey hair and is not as good as I was before?”
“You’re not even a heavyweight”, he said.
“I went away from that training camp with pure confidence”.
“I told you he was entertaining!” said Klitschko with a wry smile on his face.

“I believe that Tyson Fury is really meaning what he’s talking about here”. He is coming to win the championship fight. He does different things that people like – or hate.
