Wladimir Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente says an opponent like Tyson Fury is a huge challenge

Tyson Fury's "crazy" approach will bring the best out of Wladimir Klitschko, according to world champion's manager.

Bernd Boente believes the British challenger is the perfect opponent to keep the WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight title holder motivated ahead of their November 28 showdown, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

And the manager couldn't resist putting David Haye, the last British fighter Klitschko faced, in the same "crazy" bracket.

"A guy like Fury is a real challenger and that's what motivates him [Klitschko]," he told Sky Sports News HQ

"It's what brings him into the gym every day and brings 100 per cent out of him.

"He's had other crazy opponents like David Haye, like Kevin Johnson, I think he's had many. 

"But Tyson Fury, style-wise, him being taller than Wladimir and many years younger than him, he is a dangerous opponent."
