Tyson Fury’s Options In Fighting Fellow Boxer Wladimir Klitschko

Wladimir Klitschko

World champion boxer, Wladimir Klitschko, has been ruling the heavyweight scene for 11-years. The length of Klitschko's reign is second only to legendary champion Joe Louis. The Ukrainian’s next fight is scheduled to be against British champion, Tyson Fury, who is a tough boxer with gypsy roots. The massive pugilist is in training, as is Klitschko for their bout. Boxing promoters are mulling London, England as the venue, with Wembley being a prime choice.

Tyson Fury

In most recent fight, against skilled American boxer, Bryant Jennings, the champ frustrated his formerly undefeated rival with the hit and hug. All fight Klitschko hit and hug Jennings to hamper his ability to properly hit him back (Wlad must be a great hugger at home with Hayden Panettiere LOL). Klitschko didn’t get the knockout against tough Jennings, but won on points with this hit and hug strategy, skillfully employed by other top pugilists, such as the world’s richest boxer, American, Floyd Mayweather. The constant hugging also wears down opponents to a certain degree, tiring them out via resistance in having to work their way out of bear hugs.

Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko

Fury’s best chance of getting the win is to knockout Klitschko. Easier said than done (but he has been knocked down before). Otherwise Fury will have to outbox him on points and Klitschko, much like Mayweather, is a great defensive boxer, who is very evasive in the ring. Hit and don't get hit has served them well.

Wlad Wants To Beat Tyson Bad

Wladimir Klitschko

WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Wladmimir Klitschko, is keen on fighting mandatory, undefeated British champ, Tyson Fury. The Brit with Irish roots has come far from his days as a gypsy boxer, to the top rated pugilist in Britain. Fury, who is quite the character, is known for giving incendiary interviews and for losing his cool at press conferences. Klitschko is the long running world champ from the Ukraine, who is more reserved, but very potent in the ring.

Tyson Fury

Fresh off his win against tough American boxer, Bryant Jennings, a fighter very familiar to boxing fans, Klitschko's advisor, Shelly Finkel stated of Fury, "There's a very good chance of it taking place in the UK. I'm sure Wlad is going to fight Fury in September or October. There's a very good chance of Wembley stadium or Manchester. It's that big a fight, we believe. Two weeks ago Wladimir fought at Madison Square Garden and nobody knows Bryant Jennings but it was the highest rated HBO fight in three years. That gives you some idea. And Tyson is the big-mouth from England...of course he'd love to shut him up once and for all. He would love to have a fight in the UK. It's a great fight area and Wlad has a big ,big fan base there."

There you have it. The trash talk has begun. Klitschko's camp just called Fury "big mouth" and stated they want to beat him in his own country. Let the games begin. It would be great if the fight was held at iconic Wembley stadium in London. It's a great, world class venue.

Tyson Fury

 

Klitschko stated regarding the pending bout against of Fury, "I just got the news that I am obligated to satisfy my mandatories (title defences). The way it looks, Tyson Fury is going to be my next challenger. Obviously a fight with Tyson Fury is not going to be in the United States. I think this fight needs to happen in Europe. I know that he's the WBA mandatory. It's something that I have to do. Fighting Fury in Germany or in Great Britain, that's something we have to figure out. It's something we have to work out."

World heavyweight champion, Ukrainian boxer, Wladimir Klitschko, 39, retained his titles this past Saturday, in a bout against American pugilist, Bryant Jennings, 30. Klitschko’s record sits at an impressive 64-3. The fight was the first loss for Jennings, whose record now sits at an admirable 91-1. Jennings was paid $1,250,000 for the fight and received favorable publicity for taking on the world champ.

 

I am convinced I can beat Klitschko (Hayden Panettiere Klitschko that is - what is she, like 4 feet 11 inches tall (LOL). I’m just teasing. Actually, I could beat Wladimir Klitschko (*cough* with a brick). I would win the fight for the simple reason I am not afraid to hit below the belt and look the ref in the face and say “My hand slipped…5 times.” Not only would Wladimir take an L (loss), so would Hayden as a result of me hitting him below the belt (think about that). Once again, I am kidding.

Klitschko should leave the singing to his wife (LOL)

Klitschko is next expected to face undefeated champs, Britain’s Tyson Fury (24-0) and or America’s Deontay Wilder (33-0). Either fight or both would be good for boxing. Wilder vs. Jennings would also be a good fight, as they are two well matched heavyweights.
