Fury not ready for Klitschko fight

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has ruled himself out of a possible bout with one of the Klitschko brothers.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a fight against world champion boxers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

However, Fury has admitted that he is still too young for such a high profile match and is happy to keep gaining experience.

"It would be easy for me to go and get a fight with Wladimir or Vitali in Germany. They've both said they would fight me," said Fury.

"It's quite easy to get a title shot these days because there are a lack of opponents. But to jump in at the deep end now when I can't swim yet would be senseless.

"I'm only a baby in heavyweight terms. I'm the British and Commonwealth champion and I'm undefeated in sixteen fights but I don't need that fight right now."

Fury refused to rule out a fight against the Ukrainian fighters in the future though.

The British fighter will attempt to defend his Commonwealth title against undefeated Canadian Neven Pajkic next weekend.
