BERLIN, Germany (AFP) — Tyson Fury insists he is just a “normal person who got lucky’ enough to become the new world heavyweight champion” and is already relishing a rematch against Wladimir Klitschko.

The 27-year-old Fury shook up world boxing on Saturday by securing a unanimous points win over Klitschko to snatch the Ukrainian’s World Boxing Association (WBA), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) belts.

Fury single-handedly brought a heavyweight era to an end in Dusseldorf by inflicting a first defeat on Klitschko for 11 years to end his run of 19 consecutive defences.

Klitschko was dethroned as world champion after nine years, six months, and the win sealed Fury’s place in boxing history as Britain’s first heavyweight belt holder since David Haye lost his WBA title to Klitschko in 2011.

“That’s the best thing to happen to the heavyweight division in years. Young, fresh blood who is a ‘character’, to say the least,” tweeted Haye after Fury’s victory.

Fury is contractually obliged to offer a rematch and the new champion said he would have no problem returning to Germany to face Klitschko in 2016.

“It doesn’t matter to me where I fight — Japan, Uzbekistan, wherever it has to be,” said the 27-year-old Fury.

“I’d like to come back to Germany because I got a good reception from the fans.

“It was my night, and if I’m going to be half as good a champion as Klitschko, I’ll be very happy.”

Such is the scale of Fury’s achievement that the WBC belt is the only main title now missing from his collection.

Fury has vowed to be “the most charismatic champion since Muhammad Ali”, and has already carved out his own style of singing after victories.
