Klitschko out to silence Fury, prolong heavyweight reign (The Associated Press)

Tyson Fury’s promise to end Wladimir Klitschko’s long heavyweight reign in Duesseldorf on Saturday is nothing the defending champion hasn’t heard before. None serenaded Klitschko before their bout, however, as Fury did Wednesday with his own version of the Bette Midler tune ”Wind Beneath My Wings.” The Briton goaded him during their staredown the day before, asking for a smile – ”let’s see those teeth” – and complimenting him on the way he smells. Fury’s antics – he recently dressed up as Batman and wrestled a man wearing a Joker costume to the floor at a news conference in England – have added another level of intrigue to Saturday’s fight.
