By Scott Gilfoid: IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) says he’s already ripped the heart out of Wladimir Klitschko (64-5, 53 KOs) in their fight last November in beating him by a 12 round decision. Fury says Wladimir hasn’t gotten his heart back since then. However, Fury says he plans on beating him badly in their rematch on July 9 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK.

Fury says he’s going to give the 40-year-old Wladimir a real beat don when he gets him in the ring. Fury isn’t sure what Wladimir will do in the rematch, but he doesn’t see his fight strategy working for him.

Fury has taken off 20 kilos [44lbs] during training camp, which is hard to believe because Fury only started training camp several weeks ago. I don’t know of anyone that can burn off 44lbs of blubber in three to four weeks. That’s an insane amount of weight to lose in a month.

In the interview, Fury was shot from the chest up. We didn’t see the pot-belly that he’d been sporting at the kick off press conference with Wladimir. You can still kind of tell how much weight Fury has on him by the look of his jowls. He’s still carrying fat on his face, and that tells me that he’s got a ways to go before he’ll be ready for the fight against Wladimir.

“I’m going to rip his heart out and make him eat it,” said Fury to IFL TV. “I’m going to feed him his own heart on a plate. I already ripped it out of his body in the first fight. He’s already lost his [expletive]. He dropped his heart. Now I’m going to make him eat it in front of his own fans. It doesn’t matter how aggressive he is. He’s going to get beat down. I’m going to whip his [expletive]. One can never tell what Klitschko will do in his next fight because he’s totally beat down, totally smashed,” said Fury.

I think Wladimir has nothing to lose in the rematch, so I see him fighting like mad. Wladimir probably doesn’t care how many times Fury hits him, he’s ready to go out on his shield if he needs to. Fury can expect to get hit with a lot more right hands in this fight than he did in their first fight.

In speaking about his training camp, Fury said “It’s been hard. I’ve lost 20 kilos, and replaced it with 10 kilos of muscle. I’m feeling fantastic, feeling strong and feeling ready. I can go now. I want to go this weekend.”

“I don’t want their belts,” said Fury about fights against IBF champion Joshua and WBC champ Deontay Wilder. I rate Wilder over Joshua. I think Wilder puts his fist right through big AJ, big body builder, blown up like a balloon. I think he would have beaten Povetkin. Povetkin’s a midget. So Wilder would have plastered him all over the ring. Wilder is my man until I get a hold of him, and then he’s a [expletive]. Could be the best ever, me and Wilder. Me and the Wilder fights going to happen regardless if he loses or whatever happens. It’s going to happen. It’s a must see fight because it’s never been two talkers, two giants do it before. That’s the fight that I would love to see happen. It would be entertaining while it lasted. I think Joshua will put his fist right through [Dominic] Breazeale. Breazeale is not a fighter. He’s just coming over for a pay check. You’re not going to see him tested until he fights me or until he fights Wilder or until [Bermane] Stiverne or until he fights [Luis] Ortiz; someone who is going to fight back. Those bums coming over, 17-0, 20-0, whoever they are, can’t fight. They’re just coming to get paid, go home and spend it, and then look for another pay check. They’re not fighting men. The only fighters are the ones that really want to do it, the big guns in the division. Me and Bill [Jose Saunders] rule the roost in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions. I can beat all heavyweights, and he can beat all middleweights,” said Fury.

I think Fury and Wilder will eventually face each other in the future, but it will likely need to happen with Fury coming off a knockout loss to Wladimir. Wilder might throw Fury a bone by giving him a title shot even with him coming off a loss.
