W. Klitschko praises Joshua, rubbishes Fury and Chisora

What's worse? Having the best payday and highest profile fight taken away from you unjustly and immorally or getting some water in your face? It actually shows how strong Vladimir is, mentally. Under normal circumstances he would undoubtedly have punched the punk in the face, but his inner strength kept him from ruining the show, same goes for Vitali. Chisora regretted his actions pre and post fight, on a note.

It's too soon to say, but from what I've seen, he has a bright future in the sport. I think he showed improvement in his last fight. It looks like he's benefited from sparring with Wlad.

How disgusting of you to try and defend Chisora. Your character shows. Ugh... What's worse? Having the best payday and highest profile fight taken away from you unjustly and immorally or getting some water in your face?

Maybe he spat in his face because he backed out of not one, but two fights with him ;-) How disgusting of you to try and defend Chisora. Your character shows. Ugh...

Chisora v Joshua is a good fight but Eddie Hearn won't be putting him in with a fighter like Dereck for a long time. And why would he? He's only had 8 fights and Chisora is a former world title challenger, EBU and British champion, fought Fury, Vitali, Haye, Helenius, Scott, Kevin Johnson etc. He's way ahead of Joshua.

Why would you want to give someone who spat in your face a million dollars by letting them fight you? Chisora belongs in a cage somewhere. Maybe he spat in his face because he backed out of not one, but two fights with him ;-)

Fact-he faked an injury and ducked the fight,,,,then let the man spit in his fvcking face///and licked his lips like he liked it Why would you want to give someone who spat in your face a million dollars by letting them fight you? Chisora belongs in a cage somewhere.

If I can imagine how it went down, knowing what both men are like, Fury would have been disrespectful and clowning around and treating sparring with the champ as a mug game, after which Klitschko's camp would have dismissed him. Obviously they didn't kick him out cause Wlad was scared of getting roughed up, that would have been instant demoralising news if that was the case. Obviously! No no, that's just typical trash talk from Fury. And "outlasted in the sauna" haha give me a break! Fury has some decent qualities but he can't beat Wladimir, doesn't even have the necessary tools to do the job. Wlad hits better than Fury, is sharper than Fury and can take Fury's arm punches anyway! Dunno if Wlad would KO Fury, certainly could, but as LacedUp occasionally points out, Wlad does not have a really good KO record lately against topper opponents. Whether Fury falls into that category though isn't entirely clear yet.

I double checked before commenting because I thought they had sparred too. At the time, I thought I remember reading Fury was sent home for going too hard but I'm probably conflating stories or something. Anyway, all I could find was the sauna story LacedUp linked to. I read the link you provided but I don't see any account from Fury himself soo now I don't know. it's more to the point: sparring or no sparring, Wlad either didn't want to get with the youngster or he got roughed up by the youngster and then shown up in the sauna. Why can't he ever bring himself to acknowledge Fury in a real way. Is he is in his head? Vlad has stated several times that he wants to fight Fury, and team Fury has stated that Fury is not ready yet, which was true of course. I have actually stated that Fury is the biggest threat to Vlad, alongside Wilder. Anyway, Fury is a big twat for disrespecting the champion and I do hope the fight gets made so we can witness the big wanker getting KTFO.

There are several sources out there that they sparred. I don't need any photos, there probably are none. Here is another link, http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/nov/13/tyson-fury-klitschko-title Fury sparred with Wladimir Klitschko before he outpointed David Haye in the summer but he is far from ready to challenge for the Ukrainian's legitimate versions of the title I double checked before commenting because I thought they had sparred too.

Maybe you should do your research. There were no direct quotes from Fury, other than paraphrasing. However, in this article where Fury directly speaks to a newspaper, he said they didn't spar and he instead outlasted him in the sauna: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-2560589/Tyson-Fury-claims-psychological-blow-Wladimir-Klitschko-outlasting-sauna.html And in this video again speaks directly about how Klitschko declined a spar. But if you can find a quote from Fury about the spar from a credible source or a photo of the two sparring, I will gladly hold my hands up and say you were right. And also, I don't need to do research before posting. I was there when these things happened - you are just catching up now. There are several sources out there that they sparred.

Fury sparred with Klitschko. He said the sparring session was a great opportunity that boosted his confidence, and it was inspiring to see how he worked. Fury managed to avoid the champion***8217;s heaviest shots, because if he caught you with one of those big ones you***8217;d know. http://www.boxing.com/klitschko_is_looking_for_a_fight.html LacedUp calls himself a journalist, yet he doesn't even do his research before posting.

LOL, looks like he ran off with his tail between his girly legs :lol1:

No they didn't. they were just in camp. Fury sparred with Klitschko. He said the sparring session was a great opportunity that boosted his confidence, and it was inspiring to see how he worked. Fury managed to avoid the champion’s heaviest shots, because if he caught you with one of those big ones you’d know. http://www.boxing.com/klitschko_is_looking_for_a_fight.html

Fury did spar with Vladimir in 2010, did you forget that? http://www.livefight.com/images/pages/1291905373tyson-fury-Kronk.jpg No they didn't. they were just in camp.

Anthony Joshua is nothing like Kubrat Pulev. Nothing at all. Stop it right there. Dude, that's an entirely different scenario. Tyson Fury was a 20 year old novice, not an established championship level fighter. If someone wants to spar with you, you go in there and show him who's boss.

Pulev is a tall and heavy fighter too and a BOXER, so in fact it makes sense. Joshua is 6ft.6 and has a quite resembling style to Klitschko and Pulev. Fury , however good/bad he might be, doesn't fight like Peter at all. And you know what? Let's bring Povetkin and Chagaev to spar Klitschko. As you say "he's the champ, he should take on anybody" even in sparring. Every boxer that is visiting him should spar some rounds with the champ! :smashfrea Let's get serious here : Wladimir is a true professional and one of the reason for his success is his discipline and hard work. Anthony Joshua is nothing like Kubrat Pulev. Nothing at all. Stop it right there. Dude, that's an entirely different scenario.

A huge handsome KO machine with an exciting, aggressive style. He'll definitely sell tickets and if he tightens up his defence a bit he could certainly go to the top.
