Watch as Tyson Fury takes shirt off and mocks Wladimir Klitschko during press conference

Another bizarre showing

Simon Lloyd

Tyson Fury press conferences rarely go off without some form of talking point. This one was no different.

Building up to his July 9 rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, the Mancunian taunted the Ukranian by removing his shirt and claiming his opponent should be ashamed of losing to a man that is so overweight.

“Look at this Klitschko,” Fury claimed, pointing at his stomach. “This beat you. Shame on you! You were beaten by a fat man!

“He’s a dangerous opponent, because I don’t live like a champion. I’m not an athlete. Don’t call me an athlete.

“I mean look at this, does this look like a fighter’s body?”

Fury added that he didn’t enjoy being a boxer, and would have no qualms with taking early retirement if Klitschko defeated him.

“I hate boxing. I hate it, I hate training, I hate speaking to all of you idiots.

“I would rather be at home eating sweets and chocolate with my kids. I hate boxing. But I am too f**king good at it to stop,” he claimed.

“I hope Klitschko has the best camp and I hope he knocks me into next week. Because then I can retire happy and go on holiday,” Fury added.
