Chris Eubank Jr thinks Fury-Klitschko can only go one way

Tyson Fury’s inexperience will count against him when he fights Wladimir Klitschko, according to fellow boxer Chris Eubank Jr.

Fury, who has threatened to withdraw from his fight with the Ukrainian, currently holds a record of 24 wins from 24 fights.

But according to Eubank, who is due to fight Spike O’Sullivan in December, Klitschko’s experience will tell at the fight in Dusseldorf.

“[Fury] hasn’t fought anyone close to his level and sadly I think the experience is what’s going to win the fight for Wlad,” Eubank Jr told BEEFitBiltong.com.

“It will be great for a Brit to become a heavyweight champion and I want him to win but it’s a big ask,” added the 26-year-old, who also played down criticism of Fury’s attitude away from the ring.

“Some people would say he’s terrible for boxing, but those people don’t understand that some of the things he does (and I do it too) are designed to get people talking about the sport,” Eubank Jr explained.

“I think anyone that can bring attention to the sport is good for the sport.”
