Klitschko will be easy – Fury

“I don’t want to compete with him in a singing contest”.

From ring legend Muhammad Ali’s conversion to Islam to modern day great Manny Pacquiao’s avowed Catholicism, boxers have rarely been shy about proclaiming their religious beliefs and Fury is no different. “You can’t tell me that 99% of these sportspeople ain’t taking drugs if they’ve got bodies like Greek gods”. I’m expecting from every opponent to be better than they usually are because this is the chance of their life – to fight for all the titles with a big champion.

In response to the antics, Klitschko said: “Tyson Fury belongs on Britain’s Got Talent”. “He’s had it all his own way in every single aspect and all I ask is that I’m treated fairly and to wear gloves which fit me, for the sake of my hands”.

While the row over the gloves continues to rumble on, Fury continued to stoke the fires in the final news conference between the fighters.

Weeks was in command of Klitschko’s five-round knockout of Kubrat Pulev past year and his seven-round stoppage of Hasim Rahman in 2008.

British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Robert Smith said that he did not believe doping was a major problem in the sport. Then I’ll be more in action than I am now.

The unpredictability from Fury against the undeniable stylistic boxing of Klitschko is the main talking point and the factor of age have been the main talking points regarding the champion in this one. “This guy really wants to prove himself in the ring and confirm what he keeps telling everyone, that he’s the best in the world”, Klitschko said. We’ve also been treated to a monumental amount of brilliant one-liners from both men in the build up to the fight.

“For me, this is Tyson Fury’s first fight at genuine world-class level”, Haye said. Is it good for him?

“I don’t feel as though I need Tyson to win the fight for my success”.

If King Klitschko isn’t toppled by Fury, who then? Anthony Joshua (14-0, 14 KOs), the 26-year-old Englishman who took the super heavyweight gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics?

“Because what will Carl say if he wins that WBA belt – that he does not feel like the real WBA champion because he has not fought Rigondeaux”.

It doesn’t seem likely that Wlad can keep going for another eight or nine years, but, given the current landscape, who’s to say he can’t?
