Tyson Fury: "I'm the greatest heavyweight since Lennox Lewis"

Tyson Fury claims that no-one other than Kevin Johnson wanted to fight him.

Tyson Fury has said that he will challenge one of the Klitschko brothers for a world title next year.

The 24-year-old takes on Kevin Johnson in Belfast on Saturday in an eliminator for the WBC title, currently held by Vitali Klitschko.

Fury also took the opportunity to have a swipe at British rival David Price by insisting that no-one wanted to fight him.

"I'm the greatest heavyweight since Lennox Lewis and I'm just happy someone has finally grown a pair and agreed to fight me," Fury told the Daily Star.

"Whatever Vitali decides to do I will fight for the vacant title or I will go and fight Wladimir next summer."

Speaking of his next bout, Fury said: "Kevin Johnson is a fat pudding and a slow fighter, I will cut him in half with one of the body shots I've been working on.

"He's got a great big head so how am I going to miss that?"

Fury is unbeaten in 19 fights.
