World heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury says he hates the sport – but he’s too good at it to stop.

He’s been speaking ahead of his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, which takes place in Manchester on July 9.

Fury says he’d rather be at home eating sweets with his kids, but it’s “easy money” for him.

He’s warned his Ukrainian opponent he’ll have to be much better than in their original contest in Germany in November.

“You got beat fair and square the first time, all your own stuff, in front of all your own people, on your own TV station,” Fury told Klitchsko.

“And you got whooped, let’s face it.

“You’re going to have to come back about a thousand times better because you landed about four shots in 12 rounds.”
