WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO has called Tyson Fury “creepy” after footage re-surfaced of the Gypsy King telling a story about the pair in a sauna together.
Fury eventually beat the Ukrainian legend in their world title fight in November 2015, but the mind games from the Brit started way before their encounter in Germany.
Wladimir Klitschko has called Tyson Fury ‘creepy’ for telling a story about the pair in a sauna
Before their historic clash, the heavyweight icons went head-to-head in a verbal exchange on Sky Sports show Gloves Are Off.
And Fury was quick to reminisce about the time he visited Klitschko’s camp to spar and the pair were left alone in a sauna.
He said: “I’m at his training camp, we’re in the sauna, about ten guys in the sauna.
“And it came down to me and Wlad. Do you remember this Wladimir, at all?
“It gets down to him and I’m over the other side. I’ve only had 12 or 13 fights, but still, in my mind I was mentally in a competition with him.
“He can say what he wants, he can deny it, whatever.
“But I was prepared to die in that sauna before I got out and I stayed in for like 40 minutes.”
A confused looking Klitschko replied and said: “I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.
“I don’t remember exactly that moment, but I believe in the sauna people were walking in naked, so…”
Show presenter Johnny Nelson intervened and asked Fury who left the sauna first, and with a wry smile on his face, Fury said: “He did.
“He got out first. Mental victory.”
And now, nearly five years on from his defeat, Klitschko has nibbled again.
After Sky re-posted the video on Twitter, Klitschko commented: “I keep reading these disturbing stories about Fury´s recollections of a sauna.
“1) Apparently I was in some contest, in his head 🤷🏻♂. 2) How creepy this man keeps having thoughts/dreams of me in a sauna.”
Anthony Joshua recently revealed Klitschko is the hardest puncher he has ever faced.
And Fury admitted Deontay Wilder’s ‘heavy costume’ excuse may have actually been true.
