By Gerardo Granados: Have you ever seen a press conference at any weight division in which the defending undisputed Champion would have said to the reporters present: “don´t fall asleep please” or “there’s some yawning in the audience.” It is even more shocking after seeing the contender Tyson Fury come into the press conference on Wednesday in a Batman custom getting everyone hyped up and minutes later people starts yawning once the Champion Wladimir Klitschko starts to speak.
I have to confess that I am not a Gypsy King fan and Tyson Fury´s custom looked cheap and ugly, but his boldness and craziness was simply priceless.
It was great to see such an entertaining big guy act naturally fun and when Tyson Fury speaks loud, cocky and arrogant as he often does he reminds me of Muhammad Ali antics.
In the last ten years or so I have lost interest in the heavyweight division. The name of Deontay Wilder doesn’t convince me to pay attention to the big lions, others like Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker have me following their progress but Tyson Fury at this time is the only reason why I will watch a Wladimir Klitschko fight.
I recall Mike Tyson press conferences and no one would fall asleep, also Ridick Bowe never got me bored at a press conference, David Haye and Dereck Chisora are entertaining too.
It gave me the impression that Fury starts to get under Klitschko skin, I don’t believe Wladimir will lose his concentration and instead will motivate him to show he is not an old man as Fury calls him. I am willing to bet that this bout will receive good ratings worldwide thanks to Fury antics.
Next October 4th I won’t fall asleep as I usually do while watching a Klitschko fight. But what about the reader will you?
