Lennox Lewis has shared his opinion on Tyson Fury’s spectacular victory over Wladimir Klitschko.
The Mancunian beat the Ukranian to become world heavyweight champion in Dusseldorf on Saturday, and Lewis has revealed that Fury’s mind games were the secret to his success.
“I thought that Wladimir Klitschko didn’t show up and that Tyson Fury played the ultimate mind games with him,” Lewis claimed.
“Tyson Fury got in Wladimir Klitschko’s mind about how robotic he is and Tyson Fury for being a 6ft 9ins heavyweight was much more fluid and relaxed than I thought he could be for being so big.
“Tyson Fury fought the fight he needed to fight. Fury fought smart and kept Wladimir Klitschko off balance.
“It wasn’t exciting, but it was enough.”
With reports claiming that Fury and Kitschko will face each other again in 2016, it will be interesting to see if the dethroned champion will react differently to the new champions mind games.
