Bernd Boente, long-time manager of Wladimir Klitschko's career, has responded to the controversial claims made by Tyson Fury's trainer Ben Davison.

Boente's comments come after Fury's trainer Davison claimed on Tuesday that the weighing scales for the huge Klitschko vs Fury clash back in November 2015 were tampered with.

Davison even revealed that this was potentially done by the Ukrainian's own team.

However, since the claim was made by Davison, who suggested the scales had been altered because Klitschko wouldn't 'cope mentally with the size advantage', Boente has responded to the claims.

Beonte responds to the allegations

When asked about the allegations, Beonte suggests that Davison is wrong, raising the fact of how such a claim would be possible under the eyes of so many officials.

Boente said: "First of all, this guy (Ben Davison) wasn't there as far as I know because Peter Fury was the coach of Tyson Fury."

He added: "And on top, who believes with all the officials from the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and BDB (German Boxing authorities) that this was possible?

"I guess the new Team Fury needed some fake news to promote this upcoming mismatch against Francesco Pianeta," he joked.

It would seem that some fans are even on Beonte's side, raising the point on social media as to whether Davison was actually there at the time.

One said: "He was there was he? No he wasn't, he only came on the scene when Fury decided to get his sh*t together."

Looking back on the moment

Fury faced Klitschko for the unified titles in Dusseldorf back in November 2015, but Davison claimed that Fury's real poundage was altered in order to avoid a huge difference between the two boxers.

Fury was officially announced at being 247 pounds prior to the fight, however, Davison says that he actually scaled a whole 'ten pounds heavier' than this.

But if this claim is true, that would mean Fury actually weighed a huge 12 pounds more than Klitschko's upper limit of 245 pounds.

Davison said: "18 stone and five pounds is (Tyson's) real weight for the Wladimir Klitschko fight, on unaltered scales."

Regardless of whether or not the scales had been altered prior to the fight, Fury went on to make history as he dethroned Klitschko of his belts in style, but things soon took a turn for the worse as Fury hung up his gloves and didn't go onto fight for over two years.

Since making his comeback in June, promoter Frank Warren now believes that the Gypsy King will be much closer to his 'usual weight' for this weekend's meeting with Pianeta, nbut who knows what this weight actually is after recent claims from Davison.
