By Scott Gilfoid: Despite #1 WBO challenger Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) never having fought anyone even remotely as talented as IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (63-3, 53 KOs) before in his career, Fury believes that he can beat the 6’6” Ukrainian Klitschko simply by switching his fighting stance to southpaw when the two fighters face each other in a fight that likely will take place next September. Fury is coming off of an 8th round stoppage win over Germany’s Christian Hammer last Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
Fury, 6’9”, likes to point out that the late 6’4” South African Corrie Sanders was a southpaw, and he was able to get Wladimir out of there in just two rounds in their fight in March of 2003.
