TYSON FURY RIPS WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO: "YOU'RE AN OLD MAN...YOU'RE GETTING KNOCKED OUT"
By Scott Smith | September 23, 2015
On October 24, unified WBA, IBF, & WBO world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko will face Tyson Fury, arguably his toughest test in years. Klitschko will undoubtably go down as a boxing legend for his dominance of the heavyweight division in his era, dating back twelve years since the retirement of Lennox Lewis in 2003, but what do we know about his opponent? Referred to as the Gypsy Warrior with charismatic underpants, Tyson Fury stands 6 foot, 9 inches tall and has an unbeaten, unblemished record, but today we learned something else...Tyson Fury is Batman.
Earlier today in London, when Wladimir Klitschko showed up to the first press conference since Sky Sports announced a deal to broadcast his world title defense on pay-per-view, Tyson Fury arrived in a Lamborghini, jogging in to the building as the caped crusader. When the dramatic and comical entrance was over and everybody got down to business, a more focussed Fury expressed his confidence in bringing the world title to Britain, and in doing so, sending Klitschko into retirement.
"I'm as confident as waking up in the morning and putting my shoes on. That's how this fight is going to go; very sharp, easy, simple, knockout! There is no doubt in my mind that I can't beat Wladimir Klitschko. I wouldn't be the fighter I am if I couldn't beat a man like that who has had all them defenses, beat all them Americans, all them Europeans, but he ain't beat me," commented a fired up Fury before rising from his chair to point in Klitschko's direction "Listen, you have fought all these peasants from Poland, Russia, or wherever it is you're from, but you've not fought a Gypsy King. You've never fought a king, but you're looking at one here, pal, me!"
While Klitshko, with trainer Jonathan Banks, sat there with a smirk on their faces, an animated Fury continued with the insults. "You are nothing. You're an old man. You are getting knocked out. Please God, I wish it was this weekend. You would get hurt. I wish it was this weekend because you would get knocked out," Fury yelled. "I will take all of you on. Hughie [Fury] already beaten one Ukrainian. Number two is coming up. This clown is getting knocked out and I don't care if Eddie Hearn thinks I will get beat, he's getting knocked out. You're going to end up with egg on your face."
Without question, Fury is an entertainer. In this press conference alone, he played the role of fighter, caped crusader, as well as journalist, asking random people in the room, "Who here thinks I won't send Wladimir into retirement? What round?" No surprise, Fury got the answers he wanted when three people in the room shouted, "He's getting knocked out." Klitschko took the antics all in stride, smiling and playing up to the audience at what Fury declared, "The Tyson Fury Show". He did not seem at all effected by the boastful claims of the charismatic challenger. Instead, he made reference to Fury as a "clown", which riled Fury to the point where he took off his jacket and wanting to fight before he was held back by his father. "I have a lot of friends from the circus industry. It's very tough to make people laugh. If I call you a clown, it's a compliment," remarked Klitschko with a little smirk on his face.
Regardless of your feelings about either fighter, this will no doubt be an intense, intriguing, and entertaining build up with a total contrast in personalities. The wiley veteran Klitschko, who is no stranger to pre-fight antics, seems to be unfazed so far. What will see from Tyson Fury next?

WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO LABELS TYSON FURY A CLOWN; SAYS HIS FISTS WILL BE THERAPY TO MAKING HIM A BETTER PERSON
By Scott Smith | September 23, 2015
Unified WBA, IBF, & WBO world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has had a tremendous career, which will undoubtedly be spoken about for many years to come due to his 12-year dominance during an era which has been short on top level talent. Although he's witnessed many things throughout his career, today's London press conference will unquestionably be the first and almost certainly the last time he will ever be face to face with Batman, A.K.A. Tyson Fury, the next man that Klitsckho hopes to add to his long list of world title defenses.
Fury, who currently possesses a perfect record and will challenge for his first world title on October 24 in Düsseldorf, has already begun the mind games with his appearance as Batman at today's press conference. Klitschko has always been complimented for his professional demeanour and approach in build ups to fights. He likely needed all of his professional experience to get him through an afternoon which saw him labeled as "an old man", "an army Sargeant", "a school teacher", and "a man with superhero powers at boring people to death." Most fighters in any sport would react after a verbal assault like that, and possibly end up in a physical encounter, or at worst, a slanging match, but Klitschko, as usual, remained calm and dropped a little tongue and cheek comment himself, labeling Fury "a clown" while complimenting him on his ability to make people laugh.
"I have a lot of friends from the circus industry. It's very tough to make people laugh. If I call you a clown it's a compliment," Klitschko smugly remarked while likening Fury to a circus performer. The comment animated Fury even more, much to the delight of Klitschko. "It was the most entertaining press conference in my 25 years of being involved in boxing," the the champion later told Sky Sports HQ. "His insecurity inside is covered with all the statements and a lot of nonsense that was said."
"I was shocked when he said he's going to go after the referee if the referee gives me any advantages. He's going to knock out the referee I guess? I'm listening to this and I cannot believe what the man is saying," Klitschko explained. "I can make him a better person. The way of treatment is going to be the fight. It's already started and it's going to continue. My therapy has already started. He just was at the doctor's office and got his first session...at the end of the day, I will let my fists talk louder than any words at a press conference, and that's going to happen on October 24 in Düsseldorf."
Klitschko did close with a bit of diplomacy. "He's very unpredictable and probably doesn't know himself what kind of plan - A, B, C or D - he's going to have. He fights in both stances comfortably, his size and reach make it difficult, so I'm expecting a very competitive fight," he added while describing Fury as "one of his toughest tests to date" and insisting that he will not take him lightly.
Klitschko is no stranger to mind games and shenanigans leading up to a fight, having dealt with another boastful in Brit in David Haye, who once wore a T-shirt with a severed Klitschko head, as well as Dereck Chisora, who spit water in Wladimir's face before the opening bell of their fight. In both cases, he remained calm throughout, only to emerge victorious. Will we see Fury attempt turn it up a notch in hopes of getting under Klitschko's skin? Time will tell, but regardless of all the antics and gamesmanship, the fact remains that Fury could very well be Klitschko's toughest tests inside the ring.
