Fury seemed shocked by Klitschko’s curse and it set him off on a rant!
Linear world heavyweight champion Fury, (25-0-KO18) was in usual form and character typically entertaining mood and hit back at the former champion. Fury, took the belts from Klitschko with a points win in their first fight last November.
During todays presser, Fury at one point removed his shirt, called himself a ‘fat man’ and mocked Klitschko for losing to him the first time. Fury also said that he hated boxing, admitting he lacks the professionalism of the veteran Klitschko (64-4-KO53).
“Legacies] don’t mean a lot to me. Boxing doesn’t even mean much to me otherwise I wouldn’t go into camp four stone heavier every week having eaten every pie in Lancashire and drunk every pint in the UK.
“I hate every second of training. I hate boxing. I hate the lot. I hate speaking to you idiots. I’d rather be at home watching television with my kids and eating chocolate. I hate boxing but I’m just too good at it and I’m making too much money. Easy money to be made.
“People do these sports for different reasons. Wladimir is already a multi-millionnaire so it’s obviously something he loves to do. When you’re like that, you’re capable of anything.
“I don’t live a strict lifestyle. I don’t live an athlete’s lifestyle. You couldn’t call me an athlete.”
After removing his shirt Fury asked the press, “Does that look like a fighter’s body? Clearly not. That’s who beat you. Shame on you. – A fat man beat him and relieved him of all his belts.
“I don’t take boxing seriously, as you can tell. It’s about getting a few quid and putting food on the table. What’s the point in practising your job for 40 years if you can’t beat a fat man? Want to see love-handles? Want to see a belly? But can I fight? Yes.
“I am really a joke aren’t I? When you think about it, it’s quite funny. Every single time, I’m the outlaw, the villain, the bad guy – every single media event. People obviously like to see that – the majority do.”
It was a very eventful press conference lets hope the return fight lives up to it! Watch Above!
