Eddie Chambers, who fought Wladimir Klitschko for the world heavyweight title four years ago, is training alongside Tyson Fury and takes Inside Boxing into the camp as the American prepares for a bout against Marcelo Luiz Nascimento in Kent on November 8. The winner of Fury and Dereck Chisora (who fight in London on November 29) will be due a shot at Klitschko and Chambers tells Nick Parkinson that his training mate will soon be dominating the heavyweight division:

Tyson is just as motivated despite all the call-offs. I first came over to help him for the David Haye fight and since that was called off twice, the Chisora fight was also called off and he has had to deal with his uncle's [Peter Fury, who trains Tyson and Chambers] brother, being ill.

He could feel the whole world is against him but he's still smiling and joking when he comes in the gym every day. He's trying not to get into any more trouble by putting tape across his mouth and not talking at a press conference last week, but he still wants to be a star and he's still using his mouth plenty in the gym every day, I can tell you that.

By working with Tyson every day and sparring with him I know how good he is. I have no doubt Tyson can beat Wladimir Klitschko. All Klitschko's challengers have been basically equal in quality but Tyson has more advantages because he's taller than Wladimir at 6ft 9in and he has five or six inches reach advantage too.

Tyson can box Wladimir, or he can do other things to beat him. I don't want to discuss too much what we are working on in camp, but there's a lot of ability with Tyson. I'm not saying that Tyson will wipe the floor with him because Wladimir is one of the best heavyweights in history and you have to give him credit for what he has achieved. But this is the new age of heavyweights coming through and Tyson is the new wave - he has got more than a shot.

I would back Tyson not only against Wladimir but against the likes of Deontay Wilder and David Haye too. Sparring with Wladimir was the most difficult I've had until I sparred Tyson. I'm not saying he wiped the floor with me but he opened my eyes to a different game. I feel if I had that sort of preparation before I fought Klitschko, it would have been a different fight.

Deontay Wilder is another young heavyweight on the rise who people are talking about, especially back home in America. Wilder has the big right hand, but look who he has been hitting it with.

He can really box, but it's hard to tell how good he is right now. I want to see him get really whacked, to see how he reacts, and I think we will see that in the Bermane Stiverne fight [for Stiverne's WBC title].

I think Wilder is lacking in certain things and needs more experience. Is Deontay Wilder the real deal? We don't know yet and I'm leaning more towards Stiverne in that fight when it happens.

I'm part of a good team of champions and Tyson Fury will be the first one from our team to grab one of the belts in five or six months.

I've been training with Tyson's uncle Peter [Fury] since January. It's been great training and it's what I need on the comeback trail. I've had three warm-up fights over here in the UK and it's just about winning under the lights and improving my game. It's championship or bust for me, that's why I'm here, but I'm not going to say I'm the best in the world right now, it's going to take some time. I was a boxer first and a puncher second. Peter is trying to make me more aggressive. I wasn't a big puncher but that has changed because of my style now.

Guys in America thought I was too small to be a heavyweight. They expect to dominate the heavyweight division and they have grown disinterested in it in recent years. After I lost to Klitschko they just tried to sweep me under the carpet. I couldn't get fights. I had to come to Europe to get my opportunities with Peter Fury and I'm happy to be here. We were talking over Twitter and Peter asked if I wanted to come over.

I said what the hell and there have been times when I wanted to forget about it all. No question, I miss my family every day and whenever I get a chance to go back I do. But this is business and I've only got one shot at this. I'm with a winning team and I want to get that world title. The heavyweight division is going to open up in the next few years. I'm 32 and I don't want to give up thinking what could have been.
