By Scott Gilfoid: Mick Hennessy, the promoter for IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) says he expects former world champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) to put it all on the line in their rematch next month on July 9, and he sees him getting knocked out and sent into retirement.
Hennessy says Wladimir wasn’t prepared to take the chances he needed to on offense to win the first fight against the 6’9” Fury because he was afraid of getting nailed by a big shot and stopped. This time, Hennessy believes the 40-year-old Wladimir must take chances otherwise he’ll get beaten again like last time.
As such, Hennessy sees Wladimir coming out aggressively in attack mode and ready to throw shots. However, Hennessy still believes it will end badly for the Ukrainian with him losing once again and potentially retiring afterwards.
