Fury insists he is going to smash Pianeta to pieces

Tyson Fury has vowed to make “Italian sausage” out of German rival Francesco Pianeta or kiss his feet.

The outspoken heavyweight made the statement in Belfast ahead of his latest comeback fight, after which he said he wants to go on to become a five-time world champion.

The bill for Windsor Park in Belfast on Saturday is set to provide one of the biggest boxing events the city has ever seen. Fury was confident about his prospects of winning his fight.

“If he chins me, I’ll crawl on my knees and kiss his two feet because he’s obviously a better man than me and a better man than I have ever been,” the 30-year-old said.

“If I can beat Francesco Pianeta, I’ll have beaten another boxer, big deal, but if he beats me, he is going on to something very big, life-changing for him, and if I can’t beat Pianeta, I am going nowhere.

“I’m going to smash him to pieces, make Italian sausage out of him.”

Speaking through a translator, Italian-born Pianeta said he rates Fury highly, but the 33-year-old vowed to give the fight his best, and said

he was looking forward to it. Pianeta has won all but five of his 40 fights, with Wladimir Klitschko, Ruslan Chagaev and Oliver Mccall the bigger names he has encountered.

Saturday will also see local heroes battling for world titles.

Carl Frampton takes on Australian Luke Jackson, while Paddy Barnes fights Cristofer Rosales from Nicaragua.

Fury has lost ten stones in weight for his fight and says he is now aiming to become a five-time champion.

“To be a two-time heavyweight champion is all right, but it’s not great because it’s been done by everybody. To be a three-time heavyweight champion has been done before so five-time heavyweight champion is my goal.

“I always say aim for the stars and set big targets.”
