Klitschko: I Want To Show Wilder, Joshua, Fury - The Chef is Back!

Tyson Fury removed his T-shirt, turned to Wladimir Klitschko, pointed to his flabby belly and blurted out: "Shame on you, you let a fat man beat you."

It was just one of the many lively moments in an expletive-laden, at-times-shocking news conference at the Manchester Arena on Wednesday between two fighters vying to become world heavyweight champion on July 9.

Fury was the star of the show, as always. It started with him waltzing into the event backed by music and cheerleaders, and dancing in front of Klitschko.

It ended with Fury ranting about how he hates boxing, how he'd rather be sitting on his sofa eating chocolate, and calling himself a "joke."

Klitschko often sat motionless, sometimes shaking his head at what he was hearing.

The Ukrainian still cannot believe his nine-year reign as world heavyweight champion ended at the hands of Fury in a unanimous decision in Germany in November. Not because he doesn't think Fury is a bad boxer, but because he doesn't respect him as a person.

Fury is outspoken with his views. He has criticised abortion, openly disagrees with homosexuality, made sexist comments like "a woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back," and said doping should be legalised in all sports to make it "fully fair."

Klitschko said he is "embarrassed" that he has given a "stage" to Fury by losing to him.

"I'm not OK with what comes out of Fury's mouth, his statements," Klitschko said Wednesday. "For example, that all homosexual men and women and paedophiles belong in the same place, in jail basically. That all women belong in the kitchen and on their back. So that is basically where he sees Elton John and the Queen."

Klitschko added that he wants to win the rematch "not just for myself but for the people ... and the better reputation of the heavyweight champion."

Fury, it seems, isn't ready to change. Holding one of the most prestigious titles in all sports hasn't made him more of a role model. He says what he thinks and continues to offend people with his controversial views and language.

When Klitschko's brother Vitali retired in 2013, the pair held all the major heavyweight titles between them.

But following Wladimir's loss to Fury, the belts are now spread far and wide, with Fury holding the WBA and WBO titles, fellow Briton Anthony Joshua the IBF champion and Deontay Wilder of the United States, the World Boxing Council's heavyweight king.

"Before, it was clear: one champion, one family name," said Klitschko. "When the chef is not in the kitchen, the belts get lost – Fury, Wilder, Joshua.

"When the chef leaves, the rats dance on the table. I want to show who the chef is in the kitchen."

After beating Klitschko, Fury was stripped of the IBF title because he would not face mandatory challenger, Vyacheslav Glazkov.

The IBF belt was won this month by London 2012 Olympic super-heavyweight champion Joshua in only his 16th professional fight.

"There are so many champions but that's no disrespect to Anthony Joshua, because I've always been a fan," said Klitschko. "He's a talented guy that will conquer the division for a long time.

"He still has a lot to learn, but I'm putting a lot of hope in him. He will represent the heavyweight division better than Tyson Fury."
