Peter Fury says the team's plans worked wonderfully after Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko in Germany

Tyson Fury's uncle and trainer Peter Fury has hailed Britain's newest world champion as an 'unbelievable' talent.

Tyson ended Wladimir Klitschko's 11-year unbeaten record on Saturday night, wrestling the WBA Super, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles from the Ukrainian with a unanimous points verdict in Dusseldorf on Saturday night.

But the world has not yet witnessed what Tyson is truly capable of according to his trainer, who thinks the Wilmslow fighter has huge potential.

"The fight panned out exactly the way we wanted it to," Peter Fury told Sky Sports News HQ in Dusseldorf on Sunday.

"Look, Tyson is somebody who is only 27 and the things he is doing in the gym are just phenomenal. We didn't get to see some of the things he is capable of last night and for that you have to give credit to Wladimir - because he's such a good champion, some of those things were not working.

This kid is still improving and I'm expecting a better Tyson Fury all the time.

"But Tyson is now on top of that hill, he's now world champion and the confidence that comes with that will allow him to get the shots off that he has in his arsenal.

"This kid is still improving and I'm expecting a better Tyson Fury all the time. He might be a world champion after beating Wladimir Klitschko but he has got so much talent, it's unbelievable."

Mick Hennessy thinks that Klitschko won't fancy a rematch against Fury

In his post-fight interview at the Esprit Arena, Klitschko spoke of his desire to exercise a rematch clause but Peter Fury does not expect another contest between the two fighters to last the distance.

"I expect Wladimir will do a little bit better in a rematch but the best man won and that's not going to change," he said.

"They can try to get their shots off and land them on Tyson but Tyson will be a different animal. At best it would be the same outcome next time but if they meet again I expect Tyson to stop him."
