Spiders scare Tyson Fury more than heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko!

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has claimed that he is more scared of spiders than WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, dismissing his probable Ukrainian opponent as 'easy'.

Fury is reportedly the mandatory challenger for Klitschko's WBO heavyweight title and is confident that he would dethrone the Ukrainian if they have a bout this summer.

Instead of fearing Klitschko, unbeaten Fury, who is 23-0, has revealed that the only things that frighten him are spiders, snakes and rats, the Mirror reported.

Fury said that he would like to fight Klitschko because, number one, the Ukrainian is his mandatory, number two, he's the best in the division and number three, because he's an easy fight.

The British boxer claimed that he honestly is the man in the division to beat, adding that everyone wants to fight him because they know he generates interest.

Fury insisted that he is not frightened of any man alive or of ghosts, but added that he screams his head off if ever he sees a wild rat, a spider or a snake, claiming that if they got too close he would probably have a heart attack.

Fury can move closer to a showdown with Klitschko by beating Christian Hammer on Saturday at London's O2 and his dad and former trainer, 'Gyspy' John, would be ringside after being released from prison.

The one-time bare-knuckle champion served four years for gouging out a man's eye and Fury is glad to have him back in his camp.

Fury claimed that it's nice, adding that his father has been away for five years, insisting that he has done the crime, paid the time, paid the price, and that is how it works.
