Klitschko vs Fury: Row over gloves leaves Tyson furious

Tyson Fury is in a bitter row about his gloves ahead of Saturday's world heavyweight title clash with Wladimir Klitschko. 

Tyson Fury says using 'big thumb' gloves would leave him injured

Klitschko, the Ukrainian WBA Super, WBO and IBF champion (64-3-KO53), chose Paffen gloves for the bout but Fury has found the test pair sent to him by the manufacturer uncomfortable to train with.


A second test pair were deemed more suitable - but Fury (24-0-KO18) is still waiting for a brand new pair of those to be made and delivered to him in time for his date with destiny in Dusseldorf.

The 27-year-old Briton said: "There's a ruckus over the gloves. I mean this: If I don't fight in the right gloves, then there's no fight. I'm in Germany, in the town he picked, wearing the make of gloves he wanted.
