Tyson Fury says he is ready to take on Wladimir Klitschko – Boxing news
The unbeaten 22-year-old heavyweight contender Tyson Fury has shown his willingness to take on the unified heavyweight champion of the world, Wladimir Klitschko, who currently holds the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine heavyweight championship belts.
The Irish-English pugilist Fury, who recently defeated the Del Boy, Dereck Chisora on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at the Wembley Arena in London via unanimous decision to claim the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles, previously said he is not in a hurry
to take on Wladimir.
However, Fury now believes his fight with Dr. Steelhammer, Wladimir Klitschko, can happen if the Klitschko camp agrees to his promoter, Mick Hennessey’s terms.
Though Fury, who has won all of his 15 fights including 10 by the way of a knockout, admitted he denied Klitschko at first, he remarked when the opportunity comes itself one should not let it go. Fury however said he is still eager to get the European and
Irish titles first.
“I did say I was going to win all the titles first and then move on but then again if the chance comes calling then you never know what’s going to happen. But I would like to fight for the European and also the Irish title,” he said.
Fury knows the 6 ft 6” Ukrainian giant, Wladimir, is the biggest fish out there. Therefore, he stated his bout with him cannot happen overnight as he is not going to agree on their terms and conditions.
“I’m ready,” he said. “As soon as it makes sense commercially, then this fight is going to happen. But a fight like this just doesn’t happen overnight.”
Fury added, “It could happen overnight if I just went to Germany and fought on their own terms. But we’re not going to go for that. It’s on our time.”
Let’s see if Tyson Fury gets a bout with Wladimir Klitschko in the near future, as it is certainly going to be an explosive fight.
