It seems we are further away than ever when it comes to seeing the anticipated return fight between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko.

Klitschko uploaded a video on his Twitter page earlier today, in which he stated the following:… Read Article

James Slater - August 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

Rematch, rematch, rematch! The following fights could have, should have happened, yet for whatever reason they did not materialise. How interesting would these massive fights have been?

Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko II.

James Slater - June 28, 2016 Leave a Comment

Now, in light of Fury’s ankle injury postponing his big rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, Haye could perhaps be forgiven for putting the … Read Article

Wladimir Klitschko Holds a Dubious “Record” – But at Least He’s in Good Company

Klitschko calls Fury “An imbecile champion”

James Slater - June 23, 2016 Leave a Comment

Wladimir Klitschko’s main motivation going into his July 9 rematch with Tyson Fury seems to be Fury’s mouth, and his very real desire to close it with a gloved fist. It’s no secret Klitschko does not like some of the things Fury has come out with in recent times – indeed, Fury has caused nothing but outrage in some quarters, what with his views on everything from homosexuality to the Jewish race – and the … Read Article

Wladimir Klitschko vows to end Fury’s reign, take away Tyson’s platform

James Slater - June 16, 2016 Leave a Comment

Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko regrets losing to Tyson Fury for a number of reasons.
