Fury: ‘My Business Is Selling the Fight / Didn’t Mean to Offend

Fury: 'My Business Is Selling the Fight / Didn't Mean to Offend

Tyson Fury has claimed his recent comments regarding gay marriage, abortion and paedophilia, were taken slightly out of context and were not designed to offend, claiming that as a positive, they have generated more interest in his upcoming heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko.

Klitschko had responded to the comments from Fury, on dailymail.co.uk, by saying that his opponent must have a brain the size of a ‘walnut,’ going as far to suggest that he should possibly be punished for the remarks, that to some, could potentially taint the promotion.

Klitschko: ‘Haye and Joshua Would Beat Tyson Fury’

Klitschko: 'Haye and Joshua Would Beat Tyson Fury'

WBA/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, has spoken out to claim that his mandatory challenger, Tyson Fury would have been beaten had he ended up fighting David Haye, and that red-hot heavyweight prospect, Anthony Joshua would also beat Fury if they were to fight.

Klitschko defends his titles against the British challenger on Nov. 28, and having administered his own one sided shut-out to Haye in 2011, still feels the retired ‘Hayemaker’ would have had enough to knock Fury out had their scheduled meeting not collapsed twice due to Haye’s injured shoulder.

Klitschko: 'Fury's Brain is the Size of a Walnut'

Long dominant heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko has opened up about recent comments from devout Christian, Tyson Fury, in which Fury made disparaging remarks about homosexuals and abortion to British media, prompting the Ukrainian to say they made ‘him sick.’

The highly educated Klitschko, who speaks 4 languages and holds a PhD in Sports Science, goes by the ring moniker ‘Dr. Steelhammer,’ and was scathing toward Fury’s comments to dailymail.co.uk that are clearly borne out of an archaic biblical ideology that in 2015 is deemed long outdated and highly offensive to many.

"I'll Tag Klitschko More Than Anyone Has Before" says Tyson Fury

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.

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.

Fury: Postponement Was Best for Me In the End

Fury: Postponement Was Best for Me In the End

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.
