Sorry chaps, not sure how to post videos but check on YouTube "klitschko headbutt fury". Such a blatant butt. Filthy from Wladimir. Point should have been deducted

Unbelievable that he got away it.

Bradleys Saunders DQ a few months ago was for something not dissimilar.

From my own count there was at least five headbutts in that fight, and all but one was started by Klitschko.

With all the excessive holding and headbutting, I think Tony Weeks was an incompetant referee.

Feck me did he really do that?

Yep, and the ref missed, or chose to ignore, it!

One of the more blatant ones you will see

Yeah I got that, the fact that there was no point deduction against Wladimir there, but there was one against Fury for a minor infraction in the 11th made it seem like Weeks was doing what he could to make it closer for Wlad. With the fight being in Germany, this doesn't surprise me.

Tyson just shakes his head like a boss and says let's have it then!

Yeah I'm surprised it hasn't been commented on more widely, one of the most blatant headbutt attempts I've seen. Just shows how desperate Wlad must have been at that point.

I missed that,shocking but not surprising

I was going mental when he done that,same round as Fury's point deduction too

For those who can't access YouTube at work:

I thought the Povetkin fight illustrated what a filthy, cheating fighter WK is, but people for whatever reason seemed to remain in denial. Glad we are finally accepting it.

It makes Fury's victory even more satisfying. The better man won.

This is were tyson should say "no rematch you dont deserve one" contracts arnt worth the paper their written on. Wlad and his brother and their promotor are all cheating bullying barstewards

There was an interview with Peter Fury on iFL TV yesterday and he said that the contract does not specify where a rematch needs to take place, so I'd play on that massively and offer them a rematch at the Manchester Arena, and tell them to get stuffed if they say no.

No way on earth is Wlad travelling to Manchester to face Fury, and if he does, there's no way he's winning.

Haha yes stiff them like they have stiffed everyone else for the past 10+ years

Yep saw the deliberate head butt from Vladimir at the time it happened. Fury even looked to the ref immediately after it happened.

Makes Fury's point deduction all the more outrageous.

I thought the ref was really going out of his way to give Wlad a helping hand, he ought to be asked why he didn't do anything about the butts and if his reasoning isn't up to scratch he should be 'rested' from his duties.

The more I watch that, the happier I am that Fury won.

Disgraceful, you can hear fury say.. Come on ref what was moments after the headbutt

I swear he snuck in the elbow at one point too.
