Undefeated British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs) has predicted that he will knock out reigning world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in their world title clash on Nov. 28 at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.

"I'm going to have to go over there and destroy him (Klitschko), and I don't mean beat him on points and nick a decision. I mean mentally, physically break him down, wear him out, knock him out," the 27-year-old Greater Manchester native said, according to SkySports.

Fury has been using a lot of trash talk tactics to intimidate and distract the 39-year-old champion and this seems to be the latest round of his tirades a little over a week before the Ukrainian defends the IBF, WBO, IBO, WBA (Super), and The Ring heavyweight titles against him.

The 6-foot-9 challenger, who is said to be the Klitschko's tallest opponent so far, said  he will not emulate fellow Briton David Haye during the fight.

Fury said Haye did not have the "do-or-die attitude" that he possesses and that the veteran fighter's mentality when he faced Klitschko was "survive on points", which he claims was a big mistake against the long-tenured champ.

"I'd rather go out on my back and be carried out than lose on points," he said.

Fury said if he allows the fight to go the distance, then the decision would almost certainly go in favor of Klitschko because he is well-liked in Germany. The Ukrainian fighter, who considers Germany his second home, recently signed a new five-year contract with German television network RTL to distribute his fights.

"You think they're going to give a Brit a points decision in Germany over a super champion who has just signed a new five-year deal with RTL - do you think that's really going to happen?" Fury asked. "I'm going to tell you again one more time, I ain't going to Germany to play tip-tap boxing, I ain't going to Germany to win on points."

Meanwhile, Mirror has indicated that Klitschko is staying "cool" despite Fury's relentless verbal assault.

He even posted a clip on his official Instagram account of him taking ice bucket showers with the caption "Tyson Fury can bring all the hot air he wants. I'm keeping my cool. Failure is not an option."

Surely, the build up to the Klitschko-Fury fight two Saturdays from now is loud and it is only a matter of time until the world finds out whether the man from Manchester will stay true to his words or he simply just has a big mouth.
