WHAT THEY’VE SAID

Wladimir Klitschko: "It's the calm before the storm and we have another two events - the open workout and the weigh-in. Then we have the fight and that's the cherry on the cake.

"It's a good sign. It shows he's focused and going to face a challenge even if he says I'm old, slow or whatever the comment was.

"Reality is little by little coming to him. It'll happen especially on Saturday when we face each other in the ring."

Tyson Fury: "I think this is going to be one of my easiest fights.

"I know that sounds crazy because he's a super-champion but I see so many chinks in his armour.

"There's nothing he does that worries me. I'm attracted to him in every way.

"There are so many things he doesn't do very well and we'll see what I'm talking about on Saturday night."
