By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) has been talking a lot of lip service in the past week about IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) about this and that, and it looks like all of his mouthing off is about to catch up to him when he gets into the ring with the big 6’6” Ukrainian in 17 days from now on November 28th at the ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Klitschko says Fury talks a lot of garbage outside of the ring, and he wants to give him his first beating when he faces him in front of a huge crowd of 55,000 fans in Dusseldorf.
“There’s a lot of comments that Tyson has made that I don’t want to comment myself,” Klitschko said to IFL TV. “It’s a lot of nonsense. The man talks a lot of [expletive]. He can have another fight with the Joker, but hopefully he doesn’t injure himself. It’s important that we make it to the fight and into the ring. Let him entertain. I expect anything from Tyson Fury. I think he doesn’t know himself what he’s going to do. He’s unpredictable, but very limited and predictable as well. He’s very ambitious. Big ego. He hasn’t lost. So he doesn’t know how it feels to get beaten. So that’s something he will need to experience,” Wladimir said.
It seems like the closer Fury and Klitschko get to their fight on 11/28 the more trash talking that Fury does. Some of his recent comments sound like a man who is quickly becoming unhinged. I’m not sure if that’s from the pressure that is being put on him, of if this is just something that would have naturally come to the 27-year-old fighter at this point in his life without any stressors at all put on him.
All I can say is that Fury is getting to the point now where he’s babbling like someone who’s lost his way, and is ready to be put out of his misery in the ring. As long as Fury sounds right now, I think it might only take one punch to the head from Wladimir to send him on his way down to the canvas for the 10 count. I mean, Fury is starting to sound like he’s already been stunned by a huge blow to the head. It just makes me wonder who his sparring partners are, because I think they might have already done the job for Wladimir by knocking Fury about during their sparring sessions.

Fury did mention he has some big sparring partners to help get him ready for the tall Klitschko, but this might be self-defeating if they’re knocking Fury around to the point where he’s lost his senses completely. Right now, Fury is just blabbering his head off outside of the ring, and I’m starting to worry for him and for the boxing world that this might be embarrassingly one-sided fight on November 28th. I mean, no one wants to see Fury get flattened in the 1st round by the first punch that Wladimir throws, but I’m starting to think that’s what we’re going to see in this fight.
Fury, 6’9″, doesn’t have the punching power to stand in there with Wladimir. That’s the whole problem. Fury is just a slapper who has won his fights by facing gawd awful opposition his entire career. He’s beaten the stiffs that he’s been put in with on size alone. But on November 28th, he’s finally going to be facing his first competition in the form of Klitschko and I see it going really badly for Fury.
I wish Wladimir was facing one of the talents from the UK like Dillian Whyte, because I think we’d have a real fight on our hands if we had that kind of a match-up. Whyte has a steel chin, and tremendous punching power in either hand. He’s also big at 6’4″, 250lbs, and has the legitimate size to compete with Wladimir. I think it would be a heck of a much better fight than Klitschko-Fury. We could see a fight between Whyte and Wladimir in the future when/if Whyte knocks Anthony Joshua out in their fight next month on December 12th. Whyte has already beaten Joshua once in the amateurs, and I suspect it might be easier this time around due to Joshua lifting a ton of weights and putting on 30 pounds of muscle that’s slowed him down and not helped his punching power any or his stamina.
