Tyson Fury has threatened to call off his heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko more often than he's said something outlandish in the build-up to this bout... And he's done that quite often.
First he was upset with the gloves that arrived for him in Germany, claiming he would injure his thumb if he used them.
Then with a few hours to go until the opening bell, Fury found an issue with the ring canvas and told organisers that it would have to be remedied or the fight was off.
And now, at the last minute, Fury has done it again. Although this one's much more reasonable.

Fury's camp met with Klitschko's to demand that they witness Klitschko wrap his hands as the Ukrainian champion had already wrapped them without a Fury representative present.
It's general practice that an opposing representative watch fighters wrap their hands so Fury and Co. were right to request it but it just goes to show how narrow a tightrope that this bout is balancing on.
Klitschko has since rewrapped his hands!
