Klitschko Opt for Fury Rematch
Britain’s Fury, 27, stunned Klitschko last Sunday (AEDT) in Duesseldorf with a unanimous points defeat, his first loss for 11 years, which ended the Ukrainian’s nine year reign as world champion.
Ahead of his bout against American brawler Daniel “The Mountain” Martz at the Fight for Life in Hamilton on Saturday, Parker’s camp believe there is not a fighter in the world the 23-year-old couldn’t handle.
The Kiwi’s trainer Kevin Barry agreed the 23-year-old would have beaten Klitschko after watching his underwhelming performance in Dusseldorf.
The Fury-Klitschko bout was underwhelming in terms of action, and the boxing community chimed in on the lack of offense via social media.
Who is Tyson Fury?
Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy wants the rematch in Wembley and Klitschko’s team will now open negotiations to agree on a date and venue.
Tyson Fury claims he suffered from dehydration after his shock heavyweight title win against Wladimir Klitschko because he refused to drink water in his dressing room in case it was drugged in a bid to discredit him.
Upon further investigation into the IBF rules and regulations, WBN had it clarified that Fury v Klitschko II in 2016 would then mean Glazkov would be likely to face either Charles Martin or Erkan Teper for the vacant crown.
In the immediate aftermath of his victory, Fury sad he had no problem returning to the scene of his triumph.
“We haven’t had an undisputed champion in I can’t remember how long – and I want to be the first name to bring the belts back together and heavyweight boxing back to its full potential”.
Klitschko wants a rematch after an embarrassing showing where he hardly landed a punch.
‘To be honest it doesn’t matter to me where I fight.
Let me put it this way: I would rather make a voluntary defence, for all those titles, against Hughie Fury, than David Haye. Today was a good night but not a good night for me to win this fight.
“They are like leeches, sucking blood out of people”.
