Tyson Fury confident of knockout triumph over Christian Hammer

Tyson Fury has insisted that he will claim a knockout victory over Christian Hammer when the two heavyweights meet in London next weekend.

The Brit boasts an impressive 17 knockouts from 23 successive victories as a professional, and he is confident of producing another dominant performance as he looks to continue his bid to secure a world title bout.

"I've had a great camp, training has gone very well and because of that I don't see this fight going beyond five rounds. I want the knockout and that's what I'm out to get on February 28," Fury told reporters.

"There's a reason this bill is being labelled 'Risky Business' because of everything that is on the line. I'm mandatory to face Wladimir Klitschko next but if I don't win this fight I'll lose that mandatory position and my chance to fight for the world title."

Fury is currently the mandatory challenge to Wladimir Klitschko, and his camp are hoping to secure a bout with the Ukrainian this summer.
