Tyson Fury wants summer rematch with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley
Fury claimed the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles by unanimous points decision in Dusseldorf on Sunday.
Speaking the morning after bamboozling Klitschko to defy the bookies odds of 5-1, Fury insisted that the biggest damage he had suffered were the blisters across the soles of his feet.
Klitschko has already stated his desire for a rematch and, asked if the Ukrainian will make good on those words and pursue a second bout, Fury said: “I think he will. I think he’ll take the rematch”. He added: “When you win the world title you must be allowed a voluntary defence. He will be 7ft, 20 stone and heavyweight champion of the world.’ And I named him Tyson, after Mike Tyson”. “I’d like to come back to Germany again to fight Wladimir”.
He threatened to walk away from boxing if he lost to Wladimir Klitschko, or even if he won.
In the past Fury has allowed his weight to balloon between fights but he promised this time it would be different.
Kell Brook, the IBF welterweight champion, tweeted: “Just heard, WOW congratulations to @Tyson_Fury I had kilt to win I hold my hands up! well done unbelievable for British boxing!”
His father, Johnny Fury, says Tyson was born in Galway. “It would easily do 80,000 at Wembley Stadium”. “But it would have to be at the end of the football season”.
Fury had always said that beating Wladimir Klitschko would not change him and here he was showing just that, as he excused himself from the throng of team members and media at his Düsseldorf hotel yesterday lunchtime for the drive with his wife, Paris, across the Netherlands. “If you say I’m fighting in Japan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, America, wherever it has to be, it has to be”, Fury said.
“I will never give him an opportunity for that”.
“Whatever title he gets mandatory for, I will vacate”. Let him go and fight Fred Flintstone or Joe Bloggs and make no money. I feel good, not too sore, a little bit around the eyes and pain inside of my head but not too bad, to be honest, after a 12-round fight with the so-called best fighter on the planet. “He is a pretender, a fraud”.
“So, if Deontay Wilder wants a unification fight he is going to have to wait, because Wladimir Klitschko has a round two…ding, ding, ding!”
“People can say what they want about me, he was hanging on for dear life in that fight all the way through”.
When Klitschko would occasionally have enough of the clowning and wade in with his right hand, the four-inch reach advantage of Tyson Fury would keep him off balance. “I’m 10 times better than him”.
