Fury was never in trouble against the 39-year-old and won the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts with a points victory against Klitschko.

Just brilliant

But tonight just wasn't his night and it was my night. God gave me the victory tonight so I hope to have many more defences of these titles in the future and if I could just say one thing: if I could be half as good a champion as Wladimir Klitschko I'd be very, very happy."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"tw-align-center lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/Tyson_Fury">Tyson_Fury believes he will fulfil his promise of emulating the legendary Muhammad Ali https://t.co/ETotaL9nYo pic.twitter.com/BTcfM8ow7p— Sky Sports Boxing (@SkySportsBoxing) November 29, 2015
