Tyson Fury has threatened to pull of his fight with Wladimir Klitschko if the canvas is not changed

TYSON FURY has threatened to pull out of his fight with Wladimir Klitschko yet again.

 

The British fighter is supposed to face the WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight champion tonight in Dusseldorf.

But he has ordered Klitschko's team to change the canvas on the ring or he will not fight.

 

But he has ordered Klitschko's team to change the canvas on the ring or he will not fight.

Fury, 27, went to the ESPIRIT Arena this morning to have a look at the venue and stepped in the ring.

But he is not happy with how soft the canvas is and it is believed to have three layers of foam under it.

The Manchester man reckons it is a deliberate ploy to slow his feet down as it is harder to move the softer the canvas is.

 

He insists he is not fighting and the bout is now in doubt again.

Fury threatened to pull out earlier in the week over the gloves for tonight's contest.

But that was solved yesterday at the rules meeting following the weigh-in.
