I'm probably a hard person to live with but it's like it or lump it. She gets treated right and she thinks I'm a nice person. I'm not a woman, but to be married to a handsome man like me - a stallion - must be a good feeling." Throw in Fury's father, John, and his retinue of friends, who spent the entire news conference goading their superhero on - if you will pardon the pun - and it all made for a rather unedifying spectacle. Tale of the tape

When it was put to him that Klitschko deserved more respect, Fury was unmoved: "This is the fight game. He's an adversary - why would I respect somebody who wants to beat me up?" Put like that, you can see his point. And Fury entered the ring in a style befitting an occasion, sporting a poncho featuring the Mexican flag and a sombrero, and then boarding a parade float for his journey to ringside. It was a good 12 rounds, he was tough. It's all heart and determination - if I can keep going I will do. He was 20-0 and didn't know how to lose, but I was the better man."

If Tyson Fury feels a few nervous flutters as he walks into the MGM Grand Garden arena on Saturday night for his momentous rematch with Deontay Wilder, a glance at the VIP ringside seats should be enough to settle them.

"Before anything else, you learn how to fight. It isn't only the passing of more manly traditions that Fury laments. The portrayal of the traveller community in the mainstream media, with its obsessive and exploitative focus on 'big fat' celebrations, external-link also gets his blood up. They may have 30 or 40 years on me but the amount of time I spend studying the sport, my fighters, the opponents, it's unrivalled work."Wallin said: "I did everything I could, I tried my best and Tyson is a great champion. Nobody can question my heart or question that I'm a good fighter." Chris Eubank Jr's all-British middleweight bout with Liam Williams was scheduled for Cardiff on 29 January but is set to be moved to 5 February. The 25-year-old was supposed to have fought fellow Briton David Haye last September, only for the former world champion to pull out a week before the bout with a cut eye. The bout was rescheduled for February, only for Haye to announce his retirement last November, citing a shoulder injury.
