Fury on possible upcoming fights:
“I want Wilder as soon as possible,” said Fury in earnest. “I’m not the type of fighter who wants to beat on 25 bums to break someone’s record. I want to fight the best out there. Wilder didn’t look great in his last fight but Szpilka was southpaw, awkward and he still got planted to the canvas.
“Deontay is a dangerous puncher, who’s still learning because he didn’t have a very long amateur career. I think he’s getting better all the time and you can’t do more than plant a man to the canvas in the heavyweight division. It doesn’t matter if he’s good, bad or whatever; the crowd wants to see knockouts.”
“I would like the IBF title back,” Fury said, ignoring the political decision which cost him a championship earned in the ring. “It’s not the fact that I want the belt but there’s room for Charles Martin to say he’s a champion and I won’t feel undisputed unless I take him out. That will be relatively easy because he’s only a novice.
“There’s also some other up-and-comers like Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua. You have the little fat kid from Mexico, Andy Ruiz, and Luis Ortiz, although he’s getting old now.”
“I think Klitschko will come to knock me out because he can’t outbox me. In order for him to do that, he has to plant his feet and, when he does, he’ll be wide open to the counter and wide open to being knocked out himself. The rematch won’t go the distance. Either he knocks me out or I’ll knock him out.
“Before the first fight, Klitschko was saying his former trainer Emanuel Steward predicted that Tyson Fury would beat him but that’s just a myth. Now he knows it’s a fact and that’ll be at the back of his mind. Mentally he’s a weak character and I think he’s 80 percent beaten already.”
