But the Ukrainian former long-time champion believes that Fury shouldn't even be in the position to be defending his belts as, according to Klitschko, he should be banned for how he represents the sport.
“It puts the world of boxing in the wrong spot," Klitschko said. "He represents not just himself, but the sanctioning bodies, a lot of boxing fans in general, it’s not just about him and he needs to understand but he obviously doesn’t. All the stupidity that comes out of his mouth …
“Especially in this crazy world when we can see all that’s going on, we don’t need someone having this stage and bringing hate to Jewish people, I can’t accept. As I said, he sounds like Hitler, I cannot accept it and I don’t accept.
“We cannot have a champion like that. Either he needs to be shut up or shut down in the ring, or just suspended, because you cannot create more hate. Friction creates friction, the more hate you bring out there – with women, the gay community and Jewish people – what next is he going to say?”
