Tyson Fury says Wladimir Klitschko is "in trouble" if he is expecting a repeat of his David Haye fight come October 24.

Klitschko and now-retired brother Vitali cleaned up the heavyweight division's four major titles between them in the years following Wladimir's last defeat way back in 2004.

The younger Klitschko goes into his latest Sky Sports Box Office defence with the WBO, WBA and IBF belts, but his formidable record has not stopped Fury singling out the Ukrainian's 2011 meeting with Haye as "the best win of his career".

Haye - currently planning a comeback - blamed a broken toe after barely landing a glove on the champion, and twice since then he has been forced to pull out of a planned meeting with Fury.

Tyson Fury has began an intensive training regime ahead of his title shot against Wladimir Klitschko on October 24

The self-styled Gypsy King, enjoying a tough training camp, told Sky Sports News HQ: "Klitschko's best win was against a man called David Haye. I don't know if you've heard of him, but we do know he's a bottle job and he's a Mr Toe Breaker.

"And if that's the best win of his career so far then he's in trouble, because that man (Haye) wouldn't even face me twice, never mind get in there and fight.

"So if that's his greatest win - over a man of 6ft 3in who's not really that good anyway, what's he going to be like when he's got a 6ft 9in Gypsy King in front of him?"

David Haye says he'd like to get in the ring and start trading blows with the likes of Anthony Joshua and wants this final run to be his best.

Haye, who underwent shoulder surgery in late 2013 and has not fought since the summer of 2012, this week told Sky Sports: "It's been nice sitting back and watching these guys come through. In the time I've been out Anthony Joshua has had his whole career.

"But now I want to get involved - I want to get back in it and start trading blows with some of these big boys."
