Tyson Fury says he will relocate to America after his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko because he does not feel accepted in this country.

The 27-year-old will defend his WBA and WBO heavyweight titles against the Ukrainian in Manchester on 9 July and after that he is ready to pack his bags and head across the Atlantic Ocean.

Fury, who has courted outrage with a string of controversial comments on homosexuality and abortion, believes he is treated like a "bum" in the United Kingdom and deserves better.

He told a number of national newspapers: "I am not accepted in this country. I am a gypsy and that's it. I will always be a gypsy, I'll never change. I will always be fat and white and that's it.

"I am the champion yet I am thought of as a bum. I am moving out of the country. I am going to America where champions are better thought of.

"I am moving to Los Angeles where people have a better life. I made the decision last week to go where people admire success."
