Fury Will Stick to Fight Plan, Says Trainer

Fury Will Stick to Fight Plan, Says Trainer

Tyson Fury will box to a predetermined game plan against Wladimir Klitschko, according to the challenger's trainer and uncle Peter Fury.

Fury and his entourage are in Dusseldorf ahead of Saturday's Sky Sports Box Office clash and Peter Fury is confident that his 27-year-old nephew can upset WBO, WBA Super and IBF world champion Klitschko if he listens to orders.

Peter Fury told Sky Sports: "We've got our plans and they've got theirs. Tyson will have to box to some kind of orders and that's what he'll do.

He can't go in there and lose control in a ring with someone like Wladimir. Make no mistake - it can be over in one hit.

"Tyson will be composed because we've got good game plans going into this fight. We're happy with them and we're looking forward to a big fight.

"Everybody has to use whatever tactics they can, but it's going to be difficult for Klitschko to hold someone like Tyson Fury because he's just as big as him. Bigger even. It'll be difficult for Klitschko to manhandle him.

"Let's be honest, to beat Klitschko you have to win convincingly. You're going over there and he's the champion so you have to be fairly convincing.

"If it's close, you're not going to win it. Tyson has to seize the moment and take this chance with both hands.

"He just believes it's his destiny. He thinks he's going to win and he's training like a champion. It's my belief too - he's got the talent. If anyone can dethrone Klitschko, it's Tyson Fury.

"Tyson respects Wladimir as a person, but this is boxing. This is the 'hurt' business and he'll be looking to do an impressive job on him.

"He's ready. He's 27 and in the prime of his life. He's had some difficult fights along the way and has been down and then up. He's fought good fighters, some good heavyweights."
