No bull... Wladimir tops lot
Tyson Fury has vowed to greet Deontay Wilder like a raging bull in Sin City on Saturday.
But even if he strips the Bronze Bomber of his WBC heavyweight crown, the Gypsy King insists the feat won’t equal his Wladimir Klitschko win.
Fury took Klitschko’s WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts back in 2015.
And he said: “Nothing will ever top the Klitschko win in Germany. That was the best win from any British fighter in history.”
Fury, whose first clash with Wilder 14 months ago ended in a draw, promised an “all-out brawl” in Las Vegas and added: “I’m going out swinging.
“Deontay says he’s coming out swinging, so we’ll see who’s full of s*** and who’s a man of his word. I’m coming out like a raging bull. I’ll run across that ring to meet him.”
■ Todd Dutiaume says success in Fife Flyers’ special teams can boost their hopes of climbing off the foot of the Elite Ice Hockey League.
The Kirkcaldy side host Sheff ield Steelers tonight having lost 3-2 at Nottingham Panthers on Friday.
Head coach Dutiaume said: “It was close but we lost the game in the second period.
“In the situation we are in it’s important to recognise any positives in your game and we had some with our penalty kill and power play. We can be positive about our special teams but the game was lost on the one-on-one battles.” ■ Jos Buttler will stay at the top of England’s order in today’s final T20 against South Africa in Centurion.
Two low scores from the wicketkeeper-batsman have prompted suggestions they’d be better reuniting Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow as openers.
But whi le skipper Eoin Morgan hinted the order will be looked at after the series, he will keep faith with Buttler.
Morgan said: “Definitely not for the final game. Jos is one of our greatest white- ball cricketers, as a batsman, never mind with the gloves.”
