“I’m born ready,” said Fury. “I’m feeling good in training camp. Everything has been going really well. There’s no injuries or excuses. It’s all dedication and sacrifice, one day after another.
“The first fight I wanted to go in there and outbox him. It didn’t work. No matter what people say, I didn’t win. I count a draw as a loss.
“We’re giant heavyweights. I’ve had 20 knockouts, so I’m very capable of knocking people out. When you underestimate someone else’s power, you usually end up unstuck. Whether I’m a great puncher or not, I don’t believe anybody else can match me with heart and determination. I’m going to put my iron will on Deontay Wilder.
“I felt that I needed to get an edge in this fight. It’s not personal with me and my trainers, cutmen and nutritionists. It’s business. If I think someone else is going to improve my business, I’ll do it.
“How do you beat a massive puncher? You have to back him up. He gets massive leverage in those long arms while coming forward. I have to put him on the back foot and make him absorb some of my power.
“I’m the Gypsy King. There’s only been one and there’s only likely to be one going forward. That’s one belt that Deontay Wilder can’t ever win.
“He had a great performance against Ortiz. He did what he was supposed to do. He knocks guys out. He was relaxed and calm under the pressure. I was impressed. Not by the knockout, but by the way he was conducting himself under pressure.
“I’m always real. Deontay Wilder has knocked out 43 opponents in a row. Even if I hate this guy, I respect that. He has amazing power and his name is up there with all-time greats. He’s a great puncher who gets the job done.”
Oh boy…Here we go! Let’s all be adults and quit the trash talking and get on with the fight… Tickets are already sold so the promoting and BS can rest. Both Wilder and Fury can cool it til we hear the bell ring!
They still have PPV’s to sell.
Tom, you are right. I am not buying it. Uploads of fight will take place right after the actual fight is over. I will be saving my cash for other purposes. I am sure I am not the only one with the same endeavors.
The only way we get these type of fights is if people buy ppv! Stop just stealing fights!
Noracistallowed, maybe you need to warn/tell YouTube and other sites they need to do a better job catching and filtering out the “stolen” fights you are talking about.
Love or hate them, Wilder & Fury are the 2 most entertaining and exciting HWs in the World right now. Tyson is hard not to like!
Agreed. These are two watchable guys and they come to fight. This is why we love heavies, the fights sell themself. You don’t need a backstory.
Tyson Fury classy as always, both Wilder and Fury deserve much respect and credit for getting back in the ring so soon after their last fights. May the best man win…
Prediction? No “what ifs”. Who?
Scoobs: Wilder wins 8th round KO Tyson will outbox him for all 8 of those rounds too.. i read the script already haha jk jk
Tony, good one……LOL
Fury may be very entertaining but he isn’t wasn’t and will never be classy
Wilder by late round KO. Tyson Fury all bark no bite.
If Fury KOs Wilder that will make him the G.O.A.T.
Fikar: i dont know about the GOAT.. but definitely the best HW of this era 🙂
Not at all! You guys claim that wilder is unskilled so knocking him out would mean nothing. Fury only picked wilder because of his lack of fundamentals and only fight tomato cans after that
Your a true inspiration to those who have been through addiction. I hope you the best for your fight.#gypsyking
