“I’ll Tag Klitschko More Than Anyone Has Before” says Tyson Fury

11/11/201511/10/2015 Olly Campbell

In a little over two weeks time, Britain’s Tyson Fury, will attempt to dethrone longtime world heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, in Dusselfdorf, Germany, claiming ahead of the fight that the champion will not only be easy to hit, but that he is clearly feeling the heat in the build up.

Fury, at 6’9″, believes his height, reach and youth advantage (he is almost 12 years younger) will be instrumental in overcoming what is arguably Klitschko’s greatest asset – experience, and says he has definitely unsettled the champion in the build up, something he feels helped bring about the minor Klitschko calf-strain that put the fight back a month.

Povetkin wants a Klitschko rematch, in Ukraine or even the Olympics

11/01/2015 Vitali Shaposhnikov

For a few years now, Wladimir Klitschko (64-3-0) has been expressing great interest in participating in the next Olympic games. While there are a few roadblocks, it seems as though even a professional fighter can qualify.

In October of 2013, Wladimir Klitschko had delivered the very first loss to Alexander Povetkin(29-1-0) in Moscow, Russia. There were no excuses or hard feelings from camp Povetkin, instead stating that they appreciated the fight and have learned a lot from it.

Fury: Klitschko Needs to ‘Catch Me Cold Early’ to Win

10/29/201510/28/2015 Olly Campbell

WBO mandatory challenger, Tyson Fury, believes that he has not only the physical advantage over Wladimir Klitschko, but a psychological one, claiming that the dominant champion needs to catch him early in order to stand any chance of winning next month’s big fight.

The 6’9″ Fury has claimed the original postponement that moved the card back a month (thanks to a Klitschko calf strain), was actually a blessing in disguise as he had been feeling out of sorts with a virus, a problem that has been resolved thanks to the delay, meaning he will come in on fight night 100% and ready to win the WBO/WBA/IBF titles.

Wladimir Klitschko expects a tough opponent in Tyson Fury

10/27/2015 Vitali Shaposhnikov

On November 28,2015, Tyson Fury will finally arrive at his long awaited destination: inside and across the ring from Wladimir Klitschko. It was a long road, with various challenges, including Wladimir’s minor injury, which forces the fight to be postponed by a month.

The event has already gained what seems to be maximum exposure, with Wladimir being who he is, and Fury consistently putting on a show with either his words or actual costumes. Both traded insults, but at the end of the day, while Fury may not express his respect for his challenger, Wladimir is certainly gearing up for a rough night.

10/26/201510/25/2015 Olly Campbell

Tyson Fury has claimed that the postponement of his WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight title fight against Wladimir Klitschko is the best thing that could have happened, given he had been suffering from a virus in the original build up.

Klitschko pulled out of the initial Oct. 24 date just days after a fun-filled London press conference – citing a minor calf strain – meaning that the fight was rescheduled for the same Esprit Arena venue in Dusseldorf, 5 weeks later on Nov.28; It’s something Fury says has inadvertently done him a massive favour given he was feeling out-of-sorts with a bug.

Both the rescheduled WBO middleweight clash between Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders and the massive WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight clash between Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury, are set to have their new dates revealed very shortly.
