By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) officially stared his training camp for his July 9 fight against Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Fury is already complaining long and hard about the pain involved in him having to do a lot of exercises to get ready for the fight.
Fury put on a lot of weight since his last fight against Wladimir last November, and he’s now having to burn off that blubber. In looking at some of Fury’s recent videos, I think he’s around 30 pounds’ overweight, maybe slightly more than that. Fury has only three months to burn the fat off before he’ll be facing Wladimir.
I think Fury will take the weight off, but he’ll probably be weak as heck for having put on and burned off the lard. I was going to predict a victory for Fury, but now with him being all fat and all. He has too much fat to take off and it’s going to turn his training camp into a fat farm rather than one where he’s working on the finer points of the art to get ready for Wladimir’s fighting style.
“Second video, second day. Feeling absolutely murdered,” said Fury. “Brutal session this morning. One hour and thirty minutes. Why do I do it? To do that look. To beat the guy that was a guy. There he is, taking a punch. Definitely brutal, definitely put me in a proper state. Paying the price, but that’s what champions do. Pay the price, end of.”
QOh brother, Fury is really making a big production of him doing simple exercises. If he didn’t want to experience so much pain, he should have thought twice before letting himself get so badly out of shape after his last fight. If Fury had followed the example of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wider, he would have stayed in shape and he’d be having no problems with his training camp.

Fury, 27, needs to win this fight if he wants to cash in with a big money fight against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. If Fury loses to Klitschko, then he can forget about the payday fight against Joshua. Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Joshua, has been blabbering about a fight between Joshua and Fury later this year in November. But that fight won’t be happening if Klitschko knocks Fury out in this fight, which I think will be the case.
The last fight they had together was one of the oddest ones you’ll ever see because Wlaidmir didn’t even throw punches. It just looked very weird because Wladimir didn’t throw anything. But believe me, the rematch will be a much different story. Wladimir is going to be teeing off with his right hand and I can’t see how Fury will be able to make it out of the fight without getting knocked out. Wladimir is obviously motivated to get revenge over the feather fisted Fury, and he’s going to be looking to throw as many big right hands as possible so that he can get the victory this time.
