WBO/WBA mandatory challenger Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) is ready to snatch away the IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight championships from division ruler Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs).
Klitschko's team have already entered into talks with promoter Frank Warren to stage the fight in September or October.
In an interview with British Boxers, Fury claimed that he met Klitschko back when late trainer Emanuel Steward was Wladimir's head trainer. Fury went to Germany to take part in the training camp, when Wladimir was training to fight Dereck Chisora. That fight never happened when Klitschko withdrew with injury. Fury claims Klitschko was afraid of the Chisora fight and intentionally withdrew.
“If I ever get hold of Wladimir I will smash him in bits. He is a sh*t-house man he wouldn’t spar his shadow. I had my head-guard on I said go on let’s have a spar and he said no I’m only sparring small guys, because at the time he was going to be fighting Dereck Chisora, and he was scared of Dereck Chisora. I said to him, 'I can beat Dereck Chisora never mind you,' and then I went on a few months later and beat Dereck Chisora.”
