Fury: After I knock out Chisora, I want Wladimir Klitschko
July 20th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: Heavyweight Tyson Fury (14-0, 10 KO’s) is predicting a knockout win for himself on Saturday night against British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. Fury wants to fight IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next if Fury can get by Chisora in this fight.
Wladimir has already said he’s interested in fighting the winner of the Chisora-Fury fight, but he seems to be leaning in the direction of wanting to fight Chisora more so than taking on the 6’9″ Fury. It’s not that Wladimir is afraid if Fury, but rather they share the same trainer Emanuel Steward and Wladimir has already sparred with Fury in the past and knows how limited he is.
Chisora is favored to win on Saturday night. He punches hard, has better offensive skills and seems to be the more skilled fighter. Fury is more of a project at this point for Steward and has a lot of rough edges that needs to be smoothed over before he is ready to compete against world class fighters. A fight between Fury and Wladimir would be a huge mismatch because Fury doesn’t have a good jab and lacks power. Fury is basically an inside slapper with poor defensive skills and a serious stamina problem. To be sure, Fury would present more problems for Wladimir than say David Haye, but that’s not saying a whole lot because Haye was pathetic against Wladimir.

Fury was better than Chisora, that’s for sure! Wlad would have destroyed Del Boy if that fight had come off. Fury ain’t ready for Wlad either, but he’s in the mix for down the line. Come to think of it, Haye wasn’t ready for Wlad either! Fury needs a few more learning bouts before stepping up to world level.
david price will k.o fury
Oh dear me. You need to think what to do when del boy beats you
Living legend Wlad KlitschKO will kill you Mr.Fury.
Ha! right on. Blah with the gospel truth. Haye vs. Arreola!
dam, Fury — you need to stop talking because everything you say is even more idiotic than the last thing you said.
You haven’t even fought gatekeepers in the heavyweight division. You are the underdog heading into a fight against a limited small heavyweight. You have nothing you can hold up to show your name should even be in the same sentence as that of Wladimir Klitschko. If you manage to beat Chisora, as anyone your size with any talent should easily do, you should fight someone like Chambers or Helenius or Boytsov. Klitschko is far in your future, and only if you improve well beyond what most observers believe is your level.
