Former British champion eyes world domination
WBN Editor
Tyson Fury is predicting a powerful performance against
Martin Rogan on Saturday night as the 6ft 9ins heavyweight looks to make a
statement to the world title hoarding Klitschko brothers in Belfast.
The 23 year-old, who relinquished the British and
Commonwealth titles in favour of a crack at the Irish belt, also rubbished
unified champion Wladimir’s last opponent, along with questioning older brother
Vitali’s place in boxing today.
“I’m ready for the Klitschkos and when they see me against
Rogan they will be quaking in their boots,” stated Fury at the final presser for his bout with Rogan.
“I’ve changed completely and you will see it against Rogan.
I’ve had the right amount of fights and this next fight will put me on the
world stage.
“Wladimir’s last opponent Jean-Marc Mormeck was no good, too
small. The Klitschkos haven’t fought anyone their own size in years and Tony
Thompson will not come to win when he fights Wladimir in July.
“I’m young, ambitious and bigger than the Klitschkos.
British boxing fans are in for a real treat because I’m going to take over.
“Dereck Chisora showed us that the Klitschkos are not
completely unbeatable. He gave Vitali one hell of a fight and he deserves a lot
of credit for that.
“I think the Klitschkos should move on before they beat,
especially Vitali. I beat Dereck Chisora a lot more comfortably than Vitali did
so I think age is a massive factor for him now.
“Vitali has proved he’s a worthy champion and he can’t
achieve any more than he has already. It’s about time he should retire. He has
got a family and at 40 getting in with young fellas you can get some damage
done. Wladimir will get out in a couple of years as well.”
Fury is 17-0 as a professional and has distanced himself
from a match-up against one of the formidable Ukrainian’s in the past to focus
on his own development in the boxing ranks.
The Mancunian was dropped in his previous contest against
the relatively unknown Neven Pajkic and may need to step up to European level
to test himself before a challenge against either Klitschko.
