As the fight between Vladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury inches closer, both fighters dish out their thoughts on their bout.
For defending champion Vladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury will be one of his toughest opponents up to date as his British opponent not only presents immense amount of confidence, but also a tremendous advantage physically.
"I think this will be one of the hardest fights of my career," Klitschko told Boxing Scene via Mirror UK.
"This time the opponent will be taller, heavier, with very long arms, and he is also younger and has great ambitions."
He knows that his opponent is coming with everything he's got which is why he will never let his guard down. Also, he assured that fans will get tremendous value from their championship match.
"This guy really wants to prove himself in the ring and confirm what he keeps telling everyone, that he's the best in the world."
"He will be difficult opponent to adjust to, because of his style of fighting and physical conditions. Fans will certainly not be bored."
In the opposite corner, Tyson Fury is never short of throwing shade against his opponent and how he is way better than other boxers around today. Here's what he has to say to Klitschko.
"He's a good guy. A clean liver, a good athlete, doesn't balloon up in weight - a sponsor's dream," he said on Sky Sports' "The Gloves Are Off" via Mirror UK.
"Total opposite on the Richter scale this. The difference is, everything he's done is made to look like that. It's manufactured," Fury added.
"Everything I do is natural, off the cuff, nobody tells me what to do. Nobody sticks the key in my back and turns it. I wake up in the morning and I do what I want to do."
