  • SuggestedLeadIn: British boxer Tyson Fury turned up dressed as 'Batman' at a press conference in London on Wednesday (23rd September) to promote his heavyweight fight with Wladimir Klitschko.

    Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Tyson Fury, British boxer:

    (On if it is disrespectful to behave the way he did today to the world heavyweight champion)

    "Well he should have been a politician then shouldn't he. This is the fight game., He's an adversary of mine, he's trying to punch me in the face. Why would I respect somebody who wants to beat me up? I'm not respecting that person. He may be a clean living man, he may be an ambassador, but look at the end of the day he's still a boring person and he still will get knocked out. Mark them words - knocked out."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tyson Fury, British boxer:

    (On Wladimir Klitschko calling him "mentally unstable")

    "I think he's dead right, ARGHHHH. I think he's dead right. I am a psychopath and I hope he knows that. It's definitely, definitely true. He doesn't know what to expect he doesn't know what's coming.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tyson Fury, British boxer:

    (On how he can beat Wladimir Klitschko)

    "I don't think I'm going to get a decision in Germany and I ain't going to leave the biggest fight of my life in someone else's hands. I don't want to win on points because I don't believe I'll get a decision or not. Whether I do or not is a different matter, but I ain't looking for a points job, I'm looking for a knock-out victory."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Wladimir Klitschko, world heavyweight champion:

    (On Tyson Fury's antics dressing up as Batman)

    "When you see all of the stuff that we've seen today I think it's more entertaining. People were amused, they were more cheered up and I think ok, if they really like it then let them do it. But at the end of the day the show is going to be put (to) the side, it's all about serious business and it's about boxing and fighting in the ring."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Wladimir Klitschko, world heavyweight champion:

    (On if he considers Tyson Fury to be a serious threat considering his behaviour)

    "Absolutely, I can not take anybody easy. I've learned in the past and this is a quarter of a century I've been involved in boxing, if you underestimate and you are not disciplined enough and focused you will pay for those mistakes and that's going to be really painful."
