Tyson Fury reportedly threatens to withdraw on day of Klitschko fight

The will-they-won't-they saga over the title bout between Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko isn't over yet.

Manchester boxer Fury, who has already threatened to pull out of the fight over a gloves-related issue, has again put the fight in jeopardy over what some might consider a trivial matter. This time the issue is soft canvas, with the BBC quoting Fury's agent Asif Vali as saying: "The foam underlay is too soft. It's five inches thick, which doesn't help a big lad going into a ring." https://twitter.com/asifvali/status/670592277950111744 "We've never seen canvas like this before. It's too much from a health and safety point of view, because he can easily do his ankle.," added Vali. Fury is thought to have raised the issue officially with the British Boxing Board of Control. Thankfully, however, it appears that the complaint has been resolved and the fight will go ahead. https://twitter.com/asifvali/status/670616658877259776
