Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury: Video Preview & Prediction

11/06/201511/05/2015 Rummys Corner

World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is scheduled to defend his titles against Tyson Fury on November 28, in a bout that will be televised live on HBO. For Klitschko, the long reigning king of boxing’s marquee division, Fury represents one of the more interesting challenges he has faced in years. Fury still possesses the hunger of an undefeated fighter to go along with decent skills, deceptive quickness, imposing size, and unrelenting determination and self-belief. On the other hand, Klitschko is a seasoned veteran with impeccable skills and an amazing control of both range and pacing. So who will emerge victorious? Will it be the experience and pedigree of Wladimir Klitschko? Or will it be the youth and determination of Tyson Fury?

Tyson Fury: ‘I’d Say I’m a Bit of a Modern Day Muhammad Ali’

Tyson Fury isn’t short of belief going into his crunch heavyweight world title fight with dominant champion, Wladimir Klitschko, later this month in Germany, comparing both his outlandish character and desire to be at the very top of the sport, to the legendary Muhammad Ali.

Ali, then a brash, young Cassius Clay, pulled a stunning upset over Sonny Liston in 1964 to launch his own legendary star and win the world heavyweight crown, and the oft-vocal Fury claims to see more than a few comparisons with the “Louisville Lip,” especially given his own over-the-top antics at September’s London presser, as well as the underdog status he will carry into the ring against a Klitschko who is 11 1/2 years undefeated.

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.

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.

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.

Heavyweight legend, Lennox Lewis, has offered his two pennies worth regarding next month’s Wladimir Klitschko/Tyson Fury fight, saying that if Fury can’t find answers to the dominant Ukrainian’s ram rod jab, then he’s getting knocked out.

WBO mandatory challenger Tyson Fury, has re-asserted his belief that long-dominant champion, Wladimir Klitschko, was simply playing “mind games” by delaying their massive heavyweight title fight, that now takes place a month later than originally scheduled, on Nov.28 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Klitschko revealed he had picked up a calf strain just hours after an animated press-conference in London, that saw Fury arrive in a Lamborghini sports car and dressed in a Batman costume, and many have questioned the legitimacy of the injury – including Fury.
