Fury insists Klitschko is breaking down mentally
By James Slater
Fresh from appearing in a video that showcased him smashing a full melon over his head in an effort to, well, who knows?, intimidate heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko most probably, unbeaten Tyson Fury has spoken to Sky Sports. And, as his shot at Klitschko nears by the day, Fury has stated how, in his opinion, Klitschko is mentally unravelling day by day.
Fury insists Klitschko is “mentally weak,” and will be “left in tatters” at the conclusion of the November 28th fight set for Dusseldorf.
“I’d say he needs to take it seriously, with this being the last fight of his career. He’ll definitely be needing to take it very, very serious,” Fury said today regarding his imminent challenge of the man who has not lost a fight in over 11 years. “If he wants to go out with any reputation left at all, he’ll have `to take it deadly serious. I intend to send him out in tatters, to be honest, because he’s mentally weak. He’s mentally being broken down in the build-up and he will be mentally broken down even more the closer the fight comes. Everything’s strictly business for him. Everything must be perfect. We know life doesn’t run smoothly or perfect and he’s in for a rude awakening on November 28.”
Despite Fury’s beliefs, Klitschko is both the betting favourite and the pick to win in the opinion of most experts. Still, whatever the result a week on Saturday, everyone has to agree how Fury has done a great job in promoting the fight. Now, can Fury back up his words?
