Tyson Fury: Wladimir Klitschko's camp 'are extremely good at cheating'
After his stunning victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf on Saturday, Tyson Fury has accused his opponent's camp of cheating, according to ESPN.
Fury revealed he refused any water or liquid after beating the Ukrainian in the heavyweight title fight for fear of being drugged.
"I had good information off good resources not to touch anything in the changing rooms because they might try and drug you," Fury said.
Fury said Klitschko's camp also had other dirty tricks up their sleeves. They allegedly tried to weigh him at 113 kilograms instead of 116, gave him gloves that didn't fit, and almost cancelled the fight because there was too much foam under the canvas in the ring.
“They are cheats, they are extremely good at cheating,” Fury said. “There were all these little things they thought might affect me, as it has with fighters in the past. But not one of them did.”
The undefeated Fury took the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts from Klitschko by an unanimous decision, as the judges scored the fight 115-112, 115-112, and 116-111.
Klitschko's team has yet to respond to the accusations, or announce if they'll pursue the rematch clause in their contract.
For his part, Fury is feeling confident he can win against Klitschko once again.
"He'll analyze it, he's a clever guy. But if he fancies his chances again, let's do it. Round 2. Ding, ding."
