Ukrainian veteran Klitschko, the WBA, WBO and IBF champion, defends his titles against unbeaten Englishman Fury at the 55,000-capacity ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf.

The build-up to the fight has been colourful throughout and the two men met at a final press conference in the city yesterday with both seeming calm and confident. Fury (24-0, 18KOs) even claimed Klitschko will not be his toughest opponent.

“I think this will be one of my easiest fights,” said the 27-year-old from Manchester. “It might sound crazy because he’s a ‘super-champion’ and has been world champion for 11 years.

“But I see so many chinks in his armour and I’m going to expose them very quickly. If I could choose any champion to fight, I’d choose him.”

Klitschko, 39, who boasts 64 wins from 67 fights (53 knockouts) during his career, said: “There have been many fighters along the years that I have faced, that were different and this time I have a very colourful guy that is young and wants to have the real challenge.”

David Haye has announced he will be facing Australian Mark de Mori at London’s O2 Arena on January 16 in a comeback bout.
