Tyson Fury calls Wladimir Klitschko 'mentally weak'

Tyson Fury claims Wladimir Klitschko is crumbling mentally and will be left 'in tatters' when the pair clash on November 28.

The unbeaten Fury (24-0-KO18) challenges the 39-year-old Klitschko (64-3-KO53) in Dusseldorf but despite the Ukrainian holding the WBA Super, WBO and IBF world heavyweight titles, Fury sees fragility.

The 27-year-old challenger told Sky Sports: "I'd say he needs to take it seriously, with this being the last fight of his career. He'll definitely be needing to take it very, very serious.

If he wants to go out with any sort of reputation left at all, he'll have to take it deadly serious. I intend to send him out in tatters.

"If he wants to go out with any sort of reputation left at all, he'll have to take it deadly serious. I intend to send him out in tatters, to be honest, because he's mentally weak.

"He's mentally being broken down in the build-up and he will be mentally broken down even more the closer the fight comes.

"Everything's strictly business for him. Everything must be perfect. We know life doesn't run smoothly or perfect and he's in for a rude awakening on November 28."
