I'll admit it I've been a fan of Fury for most of the time, he's the best we have in the heavyweight division right now and he's knocked off some decent opponents. But ever since the fight with Wladimir was announced his ego has gone so far into overdrive it's becoming a joke.

Put generously, Fury isn't and never will be anywhere near the level Klitschko is at even at the age of 39, and the press conference the other day showed that its not just boxing quality but personality where Wladimir is far superior, that whole Batman thing was cringe worthy and completely disrespectful to a great champion. And I think it's just put the final nail in Fury's coffin, if Klitschko had any thoughts of taking it easy and just coasting to a win over him I think that stunt is going to provoke him into complete destruction mode.

Sticking a nice wager on Klitschko to win in 6 rounds as the odds are pretty decent, it's not a matter of who will win but when Klitschko will win. Then maybe Joshua can dislodge Fury further off his pedestal further down the line.

I've been watching the build up and head to head this week and I agree Klitschko in 6 is worth a serious look at. He's a class above Fury in every department. Strange really, it probably the first time ever when I've watched a world title fight that I've not been 100% behind the British fighter, but Fury is setting himself up for a serious bout of laughing stock here!

Same here, and I've been a fan of Fury for years but all this lack of respect and downright rude smack talk about Wladimir is gonna get him a pasting. Klitschko's comparative silence says everything, he's getting ready to hand out a hiding.

That been said if Fury pulls off a miracle and actually wins it, it could lead to one of the biggest all British title fights in many a year if AJ steps up.

Im not sure fury has the discipline to beat klitschko,but he has more chance than david haye as haye was always too small to be a serious heavyweight as he did not like taking a punch to get inside.It all boils down to the jab imo,furys jab has to be like a piston rod,he has to beat klitschko at his own game.

Klitschko 7/2 to win Rnds 1-6 on Skybet..I was hoping for a little bit more that that tbh.

[Mr Mercury]

David Haye officially out of retirement, genuine contender on World stage or busted flush? Time will tell I guess but I don't think he'll make too many waves.

Fury will take a lot more punishment than Haye like you say. Think Klitschko will come out quite quick and try to rattle Fury. For me he's just got a bit too much power for Fury to be able to cope with and will look to beat him decisively and early.

Regardless of people's personal opinions, nobody in boxing right now (any weight) has the ability to sell a fight like Fury! He's underrated as a boxer and genuinely has the chance to pull this off.. I'm rooting for him!

I hope he does it! He is the most entertaining boxer there has been in years!

He is certainly not as thick as he wants people to think either.

I think he stands a chance. Fury 7-9 will be my bet to make it interesting.

Waiting for the result but surely Fury has won that.

He was absolute pony.

Interesting post-fight interview from Fury. Can't say I know a deal about him. Dedicating it to God is pretty un-Manchester

Thought Fury deserved the win. Didn't hear the post fight but Fury is one of a few British fighters I do not support. His views on women and the LGBT community are abhorrent.

[Skywalker]

Great win for Tyson. Thoroughly deserved.

[SpireiteFitzy]

And may I be the first to say I'm eating my humble pie and will so without complaint, didn't think he stood a chance but well boxed Tyson, you were much better and deserved the victory.

[Mr Mercury]

Deserved the win but like Dalek says, strange views to say the least!

Where are the US fighters? Fury can't be the best heavyweight in the world.

Unsure about his views on anything Pete - maybe it's worth a Google. Presumably he'll relate it to God based on that post-fight speech.

Deontay Wilder is WBC champ.. Hugely impressive record, not so impressive resume! Has got a huge right hand though!

Had enough of an inkling that Fury would win to stick a couple of hundred quid on him to win & to win on points! Think Wlad wins the rematch if I'm totally honest, then to retire before he comes up against Anthony Joshua!

I only noticed that VK was 1/5 to win. Fury on points much have been a decent price. What, 8/1?
