Fury: British Public Might be Brainwashed By a P*ssy Like Hearn

Money is Tyson Fury's only motivation heading into his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.

The British boxer beat Klitschko by a unanimous decision in November to take the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO belts and end the Ukrainian's nine-year reign as champion. Fury has since been stripped of the IBF belt.

The rematch will take place in Manchester on July 9.

``I've already beaten the best man there is and was. I have no motivation,'' Fury said Thursday (NZ time). ``Whoever they put in front of me I'll fight, but they've got nothing that I want ... only money.''

Klitschko struggled to land a clean punch on Fury in the first fight in Germany.

``If he doesn't do something different, he is on for another hiding,'' Fury said in typically brash comments at his first news conference since the rematch was announced last week. ``He has to come and try and fight. He couldn't fight me first time with his `A' game so he won't on his second.''

Fury will be fighting in his home city. Old Trafford, the home of English soccer club Manchester United, was a potential option, but that venue couldn't be secured.

``It wasn't very important for the fight to be in Manchester, but it was very important that I wasn't going back to Germany,'' Fury said. ``I wouldn't go back. End of. I wouldn't get a decision. It's in England. Wherever it was, I wasn't bothered.''

Fury said he will turn his attention to Anthony Joshua, the Briton who captured the IBF belt by beating American fighter Charles Martin on Saturday, after the rematch against Klitschko. Fury lost the IBF title for failing to make a mandatory defence.

Fury didn't have kind words to say about Joshua.

Fury continued: “The British public is thrilled by bums. You might be brainwashed by a p*ssy like Eddie Hearn.

“The fight I have to worry about is Wlad because he is 10 times the man of any of them world champions. You don’t hold a belt for 10 years if you’re no good.

“It’s no good talking about these bums until I get past him. Providing I do that I’ll fight all of them. I’ll take on the British first because they’re the easiest. I’ll leave the Americans until afterwards.”
