Fury: Wladimir put up a great fight

Monday, November 30 2015 by SNTV
  • Reaction from Dusseldorf, Germany on Saturday after Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko by a unanimous points decision to win the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tyson Fury, WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion:

    "First of all, I'd like to say congratulations to Wladimir and his team - they put up a really good fight. Tonight I found him quite awkward to land clean on... as he did me. You know, he caught me with some good shots, so credit to him. I'm a young, big, fast heavyweight, so congratulations to Wlad because he landed some great punches on me tonight. But tonight just wasn't his night and it was my night. God gave me the victory tonight - so I hope to have many more defences of these title in the future. And if I could just say one thing, if I could be half as good as champion as Wladimir Klitschko I'd be very, very happy... (applause in room)."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Wladimir Klitschko, lost to Tyson Fury:

    "From (the) British side, today was a good night. Not a good night for me to win this fight. I wish there will be (i.e. had been) more clean shots that I could land, I couldn't find the right distance to land those shots. Tyson was quick with his hands and his body movement, and his head movement - I couldn't land the right punches. I congratulate him tonight. He won the fight... and to be continued. How this to be continued will look like, that's going to be sad."
