"I was hurting my hands all the time. We phoned the guys there and they said 'these are the gloves Klitschko has asked for and he won't be happy if we give him any other gloves'.
"I said 'how can I box in gloves I'm not comfortable wearing?' They sent me another style with normal thumbs which seemed to be okay. But then they said 'oh it's going to be a struggle to make these gloves in time'. They are still not made."
Unbeaten Fury added: "You don't get your gloves in advance so I won't know until the rules meeting after the weigh-in whether they are ready.
"If I get the gloves with the big thumbs? It's a no-go area. I'm not fighting in them. Because even if I throw a jab, I'm going to dislocate my thumb.
Klitschko is such a womanly champion, it's not even funny
