The New Jersey-based sanctioning body’s decision to aggressively pursue the Glazkov mandatory so soon after Fury’s upset win clearly isn’t taking into account the new champion’s circumstances re: obligations to Klitschko, and Peter Fury confirms they will not be bullied if they can not be granted a little leeway and understanding.

Over a million viewers tuned in to HBO as Tyson Fury claimed Wladimir Klitschko’s WBA, WBO and IBF titles in Dusseldorf, Germany, on Saturday.
Vitali Klitschko has admitted his younger brother Wladimir was “not in good condition” during last Saturday’s defeat to Tyson Fury. “I never took my eyes off him during the stare-off”.
“I want to be a great champion and I’d like to do it again”.
“I went home dehydrated before I even touched anything, I was so frightened of being drug-tested and failing the drugs test”, he said, recounting the events leading to the bout over the weekend.
“I watched the fight on Sunday as a fan, but also as a coach, and I saw a lot of opportunities”. “Not too many people thought I could do it but I had faith all along that I’d be the champion of the world and make it an easy fight”, he said. “I’d like to do it all again”.
‘So to say the fight of 2016 is in the making’.
The IBF confirmed to Boxing News that their heavyweight title will become vacant if Fury faces Klitschko in a rematch, which looks all but confirmed.
What’s your take on Deontay Wilder’s assessment of Tyson Fury?
Well, the “Furious” effects are in, and Klitschko has not only fallen out of the TBRB Top 5 rankings, he has plummeted right out of the Top 10.
He said: “I think it’s fantastic news”. Fury believes teaming up with his trainer and uncle Peter in January 2012 saved his boxing career as he was close to retiring.

“We’re under legal obligation to fight Klitschko so the IBF are pulling a stroke because they should be waiting to see the outcome of the fight and then Glazkov is next”, he continued.
