Tyson Fury has claimed Wladimir Klitschko will not pose any more problems than his previous opponents – although he smells better due to wearing perfume.

The challenger is boxing for a world title for the first time against the WBA Super, WBO and IBF champion who hasn't lost in 11 dominant years, yet Fury isn't expecting a step-up in class from his first 24 victories.

While the row over the gloves continues to rumble on, Fury continued to stoke the fires in the final news conference between the fighters.

In front of a packed press pack in Dusseldorf ahead of Saturday's fight, which is live on Sky Sports Box Office, Fury insisted that he has identified weaknesses in Klitschko's style.

"I think this is going to be one of my easiest fights," he said.

"I know that sounds crazy because he's a super-champion but I see so many chinks in his armour.

There are so many things he doesn't do very well and we'll see what I'm talking about on Saturday night.

"There's nothing he does that worries me. I'm attracted to him in every way. There are so many things he doesn't do very well and we'll see what I'm talking about on Saturday night."

Whether it was more mind games, the 6ft 9in Lancashire puncher was far less confrontational in Tuesday's press conference than the previous event in London when he stole the show dressed as Batman.

But Fury insisted he is concerned Klitschko will withdraw for the second time with another injury, before going on to compliment the champion.

Fury is confident his team will sort any ongoing issues with his gloves

"He smelled nice, he had women's perfume on. I smelled it. I'm going to get my wife to get that stuff, because I liked the smell of it," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"I don't want to frighten him off this close to the fight. I don't want to make him fall over in the shower.

Fury and Klitscko's pre-fight press conference was dominated by a row over gloves

"I don't feel like I'm in a fight when I'm stood face-to-face with him, never mind when I'm the same room as him. I won't feel like I'm in a fight until he's throwing punches at me, that's just who I am.

"I'm not one bit nervous for this fight. I'm not anxious, I'm not excited - nothing. Why am I this confident? I don't know. It's like it's just meant to be."

Wladimir Klitschko v Tyson Fury, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office on November 28, is now available to order via the phone and online.
