Tyson Fury is aiming to punish Neven Pajkic for the "terrible things" the Canadian has said about Fury's family.

Fury, who meets Pajkic for the Commonwealth heavyweight title on November 12, has been driven to distraction by his opponent's comments in the build-up to the fight.

"I went on national TV in Canada and said exactly what I thought of Pajkic," Fury told the Observer. "I'd watched his fight and thought it was rubbish. From there it went really personal. He started calling me and my family names.

"I know this is terrible and I shouldn't say it, but I'm in the mode to do serious damage. When I go in there I'm trying to put my fist through the back of his head. I'm trying to break his ribs and make them stick out the other side. I don't like this kid. This kid has said some terrible things."

Fury was forced to apologise when, in July, he threatened to kill Dereck Chisora before their fight - but he appears unwilling to cut out the gruesome language.
