King Kong versus British Godzilla: Klitschko Says He Will Fight 6’9” Tyson Fury Next

By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent

New York, NY (April 27th, 2015)– Tyson Fury of Great Britain is the next WBO mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko, and now, Klitschko, age 39, of Ukraine, says he will fight the bigger and taller Fury next in defense of his world heavyweight championship. British boxing fans are hungry for the world heavyweight title. Frank Bruno held it for just one fight, and British boxing fans believe Tyson Fury is definitely next, and he is ‘the one’. Klitschko says his next bout with Tyson Fury will be in Europe. “Fighting Fury in Germany or Great Britain, that’s something we have to figure out,” noted Klitschko. Tyson Fury will be Wladimir Klitschko’s nineteenth consecutive defense. WBC champ Deontay Wilder will have to wait.
