Tyson Fury World Championship Countdown: 37 days to go
Speaking to Sky Sports from his training camp, Fury said Klitschko was “in trouble” because the biggest win of his career came against ‘The Hayemaker’.
“His best win was against David Haye, but he’s a bottle job,” said Fury.

“What’s he’s going to be like when he has a 6ft9 Gypsy King in front of him?”
Klitschko defeated Haye by a unanimous points decision to unify the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO Heavyweight titles in 2011.
Fury was then twice due to battle Haye, first in September 2013 then in February 2014. But the Londoner pulled out due to injury.

Fury also told Sky Sports the Klitschko bout on October 24 in Dusseldorf was “just another fight”.
“There is no losing for me at this stage in my career. All fights are equally as important to win as each other.”
The Morecambe man has been hard at work training three times a day, six days a week, and says he’ll train right up until the bout at the Esprit Arena in the German city.

“I’m 27, I don’t want to be boxing late on in life and I want to enjoy what I’ve done really.
“Because when you don’t like what you do, you don’t like your job, you don’t want to do it, do you?
“I hate every minute of training and every minute of boxing. I just don’t like it. I box because, fortunately, I’m bigger than everybody else and I’m blessed with a little bit of talent.”
