Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury are preparing to face each other for the world heavyweight title
Wladimir Klitschko asked the first question at the
start of what will be a long pre-fight ritual and Tyson Fury gave him the
answer in his usual uncensored fashion.
Klitschko inquired: 'How do you feel about
fighting for the world heavyweight championship for the first time?'Fury replied: 'It is my mission to rid boxing of you because you're a boring old man. You have as much charisma as my underpants.
TThe pair will do battle at the Esprit-Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany
in front of a sell-out crowd
'You're a wrinkled old man with a glass chin and I am going to make that glass explode like a bottle hitting a wall.' Thus, what had begun as a mutually respectful first media conference prior to begin setting up Fury's return here to Dusseldorf for his stadium mega-fight on October 24 suddenly had lift off.
Klitschko addresses the media and kept a cool head with Fury goading him throughout the briefing
The tickets went on sale on Tuesday. Klitschko announced a renewed five-fight deal with his German TV paymasters. Bidding for the UK broadcast rights began with Sky, BoxNation and BT all in contention.
