Tyson Fury insists he’s ready to rule world

Tyson Fury is a lot of things. Brash. Crude. Eccentric. Offensive. However you label him, though, you can never accuse him of being boring.

The outspoken, unpredictable 6ft 9in traveller challenges for the world heavyweight championship this weekend against Wladimir Klitschko, a man who could not be more different.

There are many who would hate to see Fury upset the odds and snatch the WBA, WBO and IBF titles from their long-reigning owner. His foul-mouthed tweets, brushes with homophobia, religious outbursts and unpredictability have prompted some to question his sanity.
