Fury should have got the decision in their first fight which was a robbery. This time a fully prepared Fury will school the one dimensional puncher and leave no doubt who should be the winner.
Fury is saying he will go for the knock out as a ruse to keep Wilder second guessing Tyson's tactics.
I've gone for Wilder via stoppage, it will only go one of two ways, Wilder stoppage or Fury points, I think everyone is in agreement of that.
Fury needs to keep focused for every second of the 12 rounds, we have seen that Wilder is quite happy to lose round after round whilst just keeping that right hand cocked and ready to land the equalizer, Fury might has risen from the ashes last time Wilder clobbered him but if Wilder lands a big punch the chances are Fury won't be lucky enough to beat the count next time.
I'm hoping for a Fury win and will be cheering him on.
Yep only 2 outcomes to this one as said.
I’m a big Fury fan and will be nervous as hell the full 36 minutes as that Wilder bomb can land we know that. That’s his only way of winning as Fury is too skilled not to get the UD.
Hope Fury is in proper shape and hope that cut is ok. If that opens early against Wilder he’s fucked.
The promotion for this is SHIT.
It's gonna do fuck all in PPV numbers because no one outside of boxing knows it's happening.
The second presser yesterday was arranged in a panic only a few days ago and wasn't even broadcast live in the US.
It's getting hardly any press in the UK and it's 3 odd weeks away?
This could have and should have been absolutely huge especially after the first fight was so full of drama.
Claims by all involved that this will be able to compete PPV numbers wise with AJ v Ruiz 2 are fucking ludicrous.
Fight wise there's not alot Fury can do differently and Wilder just has to land a bomb.
Got a feeling Wilder will win by KO this time round.
After the first fight, I would have said Fury easily. It should stand to reason. He should only improve , get fitter, etc.
But I’m not sure I’m not sure how well Fury has prepared. From the outside , it looks like there’s been a lot of distractions and the trainer change and all that.
Not sure what to make of it really.
Deep down I honestly think both fighters are more concerned about not losing too badly. Because as long as they don’t , you can bet your bottom dollar that there’ll be a 3rd fight.
The Heavyweight division is a complete load of bullshit.
It doesn't help that the HW's talk more than all the other divisions combined. They've become the soap opera of boxing. Most of the lower divisions just fight, and leave the talking to others.
I noticed this even when Freedom was maintaining the HW division thread up to date. It was 99% talking and 1% doing.
Having characters like Fury and Wilder in the division doesn't help with that.
'LET’S HAVE A LOOK' Tyson Fury jokingly asks to see Deontay Wilder’s ‘masculinity’ as he continues to dominate mind games before February rematch
Tyson Fury asked to see Deontay Wilder’s masculinity after calling the WBC heavyweight champion a ‘p***y’ before their eagerly anticipated rematch.
The heavyweights are headed for a blockbuster sequel on February 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with the press conferences already providing fans with plenty of entertainment.
And Fury was once again on sparkling form at a media event in Los Angeles, jokingly insisting he wanted to see Wilder’s manhood before the rematch next month.
https://talksport.com/wp-content/upl...60&quality=100
When asked by the interviewer if he ‘questioned’ Wilder’s masculinity, Fury simply stated: “I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it.
“But I’m all ears and all eyes! If you’re willing then I’m willing – let’s have a look.”
The controversial nature of their draw in December 2018 left fans clamouring for a second fight the instant the final bell sounded in the Staples Center.
But the boxing world has been forced to wait until now to see if Fury can repeat his heroics and climb off the canvas if needs be to outbox or even finish the unbeaten 34-year-old.
However, the Brit was more than respectful of the Alabama-native and his devastating KO power.
“Even if I hate this guy, I got to respect that,” added Fury. “He’s had 10 defences, beaten Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson and all these guys’ records defending the belt.
“He’s done a fantastic job here in the United States, holding his title and defending it regularly – so congratulations to the guy.
“I’ve got nothing – I can’t take anything from him. He’s a great puncher and he gets the job done.”
https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/6...ruary-rematch/
fury has to remain focused for the entire fight, one lapse in concentration could spell a quick end. fury will box and spoil his way to a points win
I was just going to post the title myself, beaten to it, well done.
In my humble opinion Wilder could not box kippers (apologies to people who don't know English phrases). If Tyson and his trainer (new) have an ounce of sense they will stick him on the end of a quick jab and win all 12 rounds. They will need to do this because inevitably the WBC appointed judge will give it a draw, whatever the true outcome. On bet365 you can get 10/1 for Wilder on points or 22/1 for the draw, in case the fix is well and truly in. So you could have an even money big bet on Fury, and cover it with 10 percent of the bet on a fix.
Sorry to sit on the fence again
Wilder explodes his right hand on Fury's chin at some point
I think Wilder probably gets to him at some point but I'm going Fury on points. Just can't find anything I like about Wilder apart from the right hand. Can't bring myself to pick him.
Deontay Wilder stands on doorstep of boxing immortality after staving off suicide as a teenager
He clutched the gun and let his mind wander, to think of how much better things would be if he just squeezed the trigger. He’d eliminate the pain, the fears, the worries, the heartaches.
It would all be gone, wiped away in an instant.
Easy.
Deontay Wilder was years from being a household name. He was a poor young man with an abiding belief that he was meant to do something in this life, something meaningful, something wonderful. He struggled to navigate the world in front of him, though, unable to understand why he hurt so much.
Why was it his daughter who had been born with spina bifida? Why wasn’t he going to be able to support his family the way he wanted to do, to be the father, the son, the husband, the brother that he wanted to be?
Life came hard and fast, and Wilder didn’t really know how to handle it. Emotions swirled and trouble lurked, seemingly, at every corner.
Pull that trigger, he believed, and the anxiety, the doubt, the fears would be gone forever.
Boom.
As close as he may have coming to making that fateful press of the trigger, he knew that taking his own life was not that answer, that ending his own life would simply have been swapping one set of problems for another.
“You don’t think about what affect it would cause for your family, your daughter, your kids and so forth and so on,” Wilder said during a wide-ranging half-hour conversation with Yahoo Sports to promote his Feb. 22 rematch with Tyson Fury at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas for the WBC and lineal heavyweight titles.
“In that state of mind, you just become selfish. You think of the inner pain and the outer pain that you’re feeling right at that very moment in time.”
His daughter, Naieya, was born in 2005 with spina bifida, a birth defect that about 2,000 children are born with in the U.S. every year. The backbone that forms the spine doesn’t close all the way and leads to mental and physical problems for the unborn child, but more than 90 percent of the children born with it are able to lead full, long lives.
But Wilder was a teenager and he didn’t understand any of that when Naieya was born in 2005. He was attending junior college in Alabama and knew that his life would change in an instant. Whatever dreams and aspirations he had for his own life would have to be shelved, as he needed to find a way to pay for what were sure to be mounting medical bills.
He didn’t know much about spina bifida, but he knew enough about the American health care system to understand he was about to be flooded with bills.
He didn’t pull the trigger and take his own life and transfer his problems to someone else because, well, he is a fighter. He didn’t know how, but he knew he’d find a way to deal with the situation.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/k1...f-731937c7ab47
All of his life, Wilder had been blessed with an amazing work ethic. He’d held a slew of jobs, as a waiter, as a truck driver, and was willing to do whatever he needed to provide for his loved ones.
While he searched for answers, something inside told him that he was destined to be special, that he was meant to do great things.
“If I would have done that during that period of time, of course I’d never be where I am,” Wilder said.
He’s become a millionaire many times over and on Feb. 22, will earn a paycheck that will soar into the eight figures when he fights Fury in a rematch of their classic Dec. 1, 2018 bout. That fight is memorable primarily because of the stunning ending.
Wilder is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history. Fury’s former trainer, Ben Davison, told Yahoo Sports following Wilder’s seventh-round knockout of Luis Ortiz in Las Vegas that he felt there was never a better puncher than Wilder.
“He’s the biggest puncher not just in heavyweight history, but in boxing history,” Davison told Yahoo Sports in November.
Davison was in Fury’s corner watching in the 12th round on Dec. 1, 2018, when Wilder hit Fury with a blinding combination. The impact of the punches on Fury’s head sounded like a slugger in a slow-pitch softball game connecting square with a big swing.
Fury went down, his eyes rolled up in his head and referee Jack Reiss, for some reason, began to count. In the event of knockdowns like that, particularly those coming late in a fight and against a puncher with the reputation that Wilder has, the referee would simply wave the fight off without a count and urgently summon the doctor to provide the fallen boxer support.
The crowd rose as one as Fury hit the deck like a redwood tree that had taken one too many whacks from an axe.
Wilder celebrated what seemed like the defining moment of his career. His corner celebrated giddily. Fury’s team watched in horror, their dreams shattered before them in the blink of an eye.
Reiss stood over Fury’s motionless body and tolled the count … three, four, five.
Suddenly, Fury blinked, his eyes opened and he somehow managed to drag his 6-foot-9 frame off the canvas.
He finished the final moments of the fight giving as good as he got.
That he did that, that he did not in that moment become Wilder knockout victim No. 40, is the reason the eyes of the sporting world will be on that familiar ring in Las Vegas on Feb. 22.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/db...c-fde259f05584
The day that he sat in Alabama, gripping a gun, mulling the possibilities of taking his own life, he could not have known any of this, how it would turn out. He only knew that he hurt and he needed to find a way to get rid of the pain.
He didn’t give in, though. He found a way.
His way was to go to a boxing gym, though there is no logical reason why. Boxing isn’t big in Alabama and he wasn’t an avid fan. He was 19 and had never fought before. He had this sense that was the path he should take, and he was showing unnatural power in his earliest days in the gym.
Just three years after he staved off suicide and decided to try to chase greatness in a boxing ring, he was standing on the podium in Beijing, China, a bronze medal around his neck.
He was the only American to win a boxing medal that year in what has been called the worst U.S. team ever. The guy who at 19 was thinking of suicide was at 22 an Olympic medalist. The Bronze Bomber was born, and the course of his life, and boxing history, was changed.
He was too big of a long shot ever to be taken seriously and yet, there he was, on the podium and on his way to greatness.
His story is about unpredictability: Never give up, because there is no better proof of what can happen than Deontay Leshun Wilder, a 34-year-old Alabaman with a 42-0-1 record and 41 knockouts, the WBC heavyweight title and an Olympic medal. Yet, for all his accomplishments in the ring, his biggest and most significant victory came when the world at large had never heard his name.
He had that gun in his hand. He thought of squeezing the trigger and snuffing out all of his problems with a bang.
He did not, though. He believed in himself. He knew he was destined for greatness.
And now, he finds himself on the doorstep of immortality in his chosen profession.
“If I could have seen myself being the champion, having millions of dollars in the bank, having a successful career and life, of course we would have never thought [of committing suicide],” he said with a grin. “ … But that’s the thing about life, though. It comes in all types of ways. It’s up to you to be able to handle it.”
Life came at Deontay Wilder and there was a time it had him wobbling, on the ropes, on the verge of going out.
As he has done time and again, though, Wilder won this fight. He won it by knockout. And he hopes that his story provides a beacon of hope for others.
It’s what he calls, “my service to my greatness.” He’s won even before he’s stepped in the ring, and millions of others who are struggling with despair and doubt and who feel they’re being consumed by problems can look at him and see themselves.
He was once one of them, so beset by problems he got a gun.
He realized in the nick of time, though, that suicide wasn’t the answer. The same thing is true of Tyson Fury, whose battles with depression are well known. Fury once drove his sports car at a high rate of speed and planned to wreck it to take his own life.
When that bell sounds on Feb. 22 to begin their fight, the ding will be the start of the championship.
It’s also the sound of survival.
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/deo...161620135.html
I really think they’ve collectively botched the redo and let easy momentum pass the build right by. Begrudgingly I have come to the conclusion that Wilder sparks him clean out early. Now I know I watched Fury box his ears silly but Fury has messed around and become mentally fat again, he just comes off tired and the whole talk about ring center is as transparent as a window. Wilder is a walking thesaurus on mistakes a boxers can make and he got away with every one for 12 rounds. Fury has to be picture perfect and can afford to make zero in rematch. I honestly wouldn’t be shocked to see it pick right up where it left off but I also know Fury won the late rounds and I wouldn’t have even scored the 9th 10-8.
I think like many that it is a Fury decision or Wilder KO. Wilder has given up on winning rounds or relying on judges and Fury cannot afford to get sloppy and walk his man down. I think it will be a bit like the first fight except it could finish early or be even wider. Probably somewhere in-between like last time.
Really hard fight to call. Even if the rematch had been immediate, I don't buy that Fury would be fitter or anything, that's not what let him down the first time, his output was good all fight, and to get up in the 12th round proved he was extremely fit. Of course he can win a UD if he doesn't make certain mistakes,just as Wilder can end it if he does. I would agree Fury has seemed distracted and all that, but he was coming off a god knows what bender the first time also.
I think Wilder needs to be aggressive from the start, he knows he can hurt Fury. I'm not sure if Fury is 100% focused on boxing anymore. And changing trainers may not have been the best idea. I've got Wilder by KO.
Fury late KO.
Wilder says “nervous energy” is behind Fury’s changes ahead of rematch
WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder feels “nervous energy” is behind Tyson Fury’s decision to switch trainers and pile on the pounds ahead of their showdown in Las Vegas
After parting company with Ben Davison, Fury has teamed up with SugarHill Steward to prepare for the eagerly-awaited rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on February 22.
The Briton has also bulked up in preparation to meet the 6ft 7in American again, their last contest during December 2018 ending in a controversial split draw – with Fury having twice hauled himself off the canvas.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/ja...c-fde259f05584
Wilder, 34, believes making so many sweeping changes proves Fury knows deep down he has to raise his fight game to another level for their rematch.
“I just think it is nervous energy from the first fight. He can go on and say he beat me by a wide margin, but he honestly does not believe that,” the American said.
“That is why he wants to change up a lot of things, because if he did really believe that, he would not change up so much.
“He would not have changed up from where he trained at, to his trainers, now he is putting his hands in gasoline to try to make them harder. He brought so many people into his camp, there is so much to keep up with all the changes.
“Next he will be going to see a spiritual adviser to ease his mind for what is about to happen to him in his body.
“As fighters, we must do the things we feel which are going to give us confidence. I don’t think his confidence is that high with me because of the state of being I left him in. I gave this man a concussion.”
Wilder added: “When you knock someone out and give them a concussion, you never forget that – and when you go back in the ring with the person who did it again, that has to be stressful. You can’t sleep at night.”
Fury had battled to a unanimous points victory over Swede Otto Wallin during September 2018, but suffered a deep cut to his right eye during the third round.
Wilder feels that contest should have been stopped and the Briton was “saved” because of their scheduled showdown.
The ‘Bronze Bomber’ fully intends to open up Fury’s old wounds when they go head to head in Las Vegas.
“I am definitely looking forward to cutting that eye open again,” Wilder said during a conference call on Tuesday.
“And once it is open, when blood is all in his face – I might get a little bit on me as well, but that is alright, I will embrace it – and then we will see if they are going to keep the fight on because I am already dangerous as is.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/QR...46fb752165c4ba
“When that eye gets cut open again and he gets blood in his face, then that is going to be up to the doctors and other people to take the protocols for that – because I am coming in for the kill.
“You already know my mannerisms and what I do – I don’t come to play around at all, especially with this fight right here. This is everything to me.
“The Gypsy King is going to get floored – and this time around, he is definitely not getting up.”
Wilder insists his full focus is on Fury – and dismissed suggestions of an imminent showdown with Anthony Joshua, who regained the WBA Super, IBF and WBO titles with a points victory in a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jnr at the end of 2019.
“The coward barely got his titles back, never mind step into the ring with the king,” Wilder said.
“He has been out of the picture. Ain’t nobody talking about him no more, so they don’t need to bring him up.
“We are here right now – February 22. It’s all about Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. Other than that nobody is in existence at this moment in time.”

https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/wil...220625716.html
Wilder will win that one late in the right via a stunning K.O. That fight will be all fire, with Fury trying to bully Wilder, but I think that Wilder power and speed combo will prevail in the end.
Think everything aligned for Fury last time and the story was made. how he came back from depression and a ban etc. How he got up in that last round was immense, and it probably took every part of his being to do so.
I thought Wilder was VERY cagey and slow to let his hands go in that fight, and as we see time and again he will just give rounds away waiting to land that perfect shot.
This time he needs to be a bit more gung ho from earlier, knowing that Fury is likely to get up at least once. But I see Wilder finishing the job this time.
I'm quite certain Wilder will either KO Fury or win by gift decision/robbery.
Fury with his mental problems will probably lose his focus sometime during the fight and get KOed.
If not, American boxers don't lose decisions to foreign boxers in Las Vegas. Wilder will have the judges on his side - so even if he's outboxed by Fury like in the last fight, he will still win the rounds on the judges cards.
There is ZERO chance Fury KOs Wilder - he simply doesn't have the power.
Can’t see Fury losing if he’s still standing at the final bell - even in Vegas.
He’s too good a boxer for Wilder and not afraid to win ugly.
Let’s not forget even Audley Harrison was well ahead of Wilder on all 3 scorecards before Wilder landed.
That was my 8000th post by the way.
I’ll take a short break here and wait for the applause to die down
Nail on the head. The thing is , even though Fury is a better boxer, and will possibly have the better of the fight, how the fuck can he possibly win?
Appears unlikely to KO Wilder, and will not get the decision.
He has spoken about going with this new trainer because he’s focussing on a KO which means taking a risk.
If that’s not just chat, then fair play to him, risky , but having read above, what choice does he have?
new trainer and minimal sparring could spell trouble for tyson
tyson just ahead in the poll overall
Tyson Fury set to light up Vegas but must keep promise against Deontay Wilder to join the greats
Hallelujah, the big men are back on the streets of Las Vegas with their promises, their agendas and their special ability to make the fight city special for a week.
The gun shows and the sex shows generate more cash for this place, but it takes a title fight, an old-fashioned scrap with bad blood on tap and a suitably unwritten ending, to give the city the feeling that helped make it the grandest of destinations.
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will run this city for a few days before Saturday’s overdue and welcome rematch at the MGM. Their fight posters fill vast walls and there is a ceremonial ring in the casino lobby – at midnight on Sunday people were queuing for selfies by the ring. In a place of great sparkle it is good to note that the WBC belt, the title for the night, and any other glittering baubles strapped to the fight have been relegated to the back of the sporting jewellery shop. Please spare us all that desperate scrambling by men in suits, nudging, pushing and fake-smiling as they try to attach their belt first to the winner at the end. It has become an ugly ritual and needs to stop.
Heavyweights, their dubious flocks and everybody desperate to be in the heavyweight business have been descending on Las Vegas for over fifty years, travelling through the lonely maze of a city that makes and breaks people every hour on the clock. Heavyweights have gone through the boxing grinder here for too long, men shaped by their dreams, crushed by losses and left not understanding either.
The first heavyweight championship fight to ever take place in Las Vegas was in the summer of 1963, a time when men in large hats carried weapons at ringside and watched a 130-second massacre of Floyd Patterson by Sonny Liston. At the Convention Centre that night a young Cassius Clay ran to every microphone to sell his image to the factory of fun players.
It is the city Mike Tyson owned, that Ali put on the boxing map, that Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield traded punches in the sport’s last heavyweight golden period. A time, by the way, we foolishly took for granted from our privileged seats, but is now studied for its many noble nights. And a few ignoble ones – a lump of Holyfield’s bloody ear on the canvas will never fade.
It is also the city where champions Liston and Joe Louis came to die, leaving behind regret, mystery and a statue. There is an endless list of great heavyweights that packed rings here for titles, for money and for the hell of it on occasion: George Foreman, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, Leon Spinks, Gerry Cooney, Joe Bugner, Ron Lyle, Jerry Quarry and Earnie Shavers all fighting like their life depended on it during days and nights now neglected or forgotten. Many remained or returned for the fights, long into life and retirement they still came back to haunt the casino floors on big weeks.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/aY...2d4f0207cf7030
Nobody can forget the vanishing act of Buster Douglas one night in 2000, over 20 million dollars richer, but bundled out in shame from his digs at the Mirage after his loss to Holyfield – it takes a lot to be kicked out of this place.
There was also the violent siege in a hotel suite involving unbeaten Ike Ibeabuchi, the best heavyweight you have never heard of and the man expected to be king. Big Ike, known as The President, took a stripper hostage, threatened lunacy and was then gassed and cuffed and imprisoned to end his boxing life. The fall of Oliver McCall one day at the Hilton is still fresh; watching his manic dialogue as he withdrew publicly from drug addiction during a breakdown – he was fighting for the heavyweight title live on American television at the time. It was also the city of two savage failures for Frank Bruno against Tyson. Even Anthony Joshua fought here when he was a skinny amateur. Heavyweights simply have to fight and win here.
Fury is a great fit for the city with his garish suits, crooning skills and ability to shake the hands of kings and paupers – shallow icons and the wretched – each time he walks the halls of the casino canyons. Ali and Elvis, two Las Vegas goldmines, had that same human touch in this city with few barriers. I have heard respected veterans out here mention Fury in the same sentence as both – he’s a better singer than one and a better fighter than the other, that is for sure.
It is a city where history is made in boxing rings by the heavyweights that arrive with their accolades, their missions and an ageless fighting desire to leave behind forever a special piece of wonder. Fury and Wilder are just the latest on the sport’s greatest stage, two very big men making promises.

The Ring expert picks below , 12-8 in favour of Wilder
I'm favouring Wilder more and more as fight night approaches. Just can't see him not landing that nuke and ending it

Fury believes Wilder sacked promoter Lou DiBella because of his reaction to their draw
Tyson Fury has claimed the he knows the real reason Deontay Wilder parted ways with promoter Lou DiBella in early 2019.
Last month, DiBella came out and declared that he’d been exiled from Wilder’s team after setting up a meeting with rival US broadcaster DAZN about a potential network switch for showdown with Anthony Joshua.
However, Fury disagrees with this line of thinking and instead believes DiBella was sacked after being seen on camera telling him he won at the end of the controversial draw.
Fury told BT Sport: “Me and my team were celebrating. I was running round with my hands up.
“Wilder’s head was in his corner like he was getting consoled. His trainer was patting him on the back.
“Even his promoter came over to me and you can hear it on one of the interviews and said, “You won that fight,” before the decision.
“I think that’s why he’s probably had the sack.”
https://talksport.com/wp-content/upl...60&quality=100
DiBella previously told iFL TV: “My relationship professionally as a promoter for Deontay Wilder and working with his team ended when I set up the DAZN meeting, which is perverse.
“What did I do? I tried to talk to everyone in the marketplace and make a best effort to make the most money for a guy that I cared about.
“Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”
DAZN offered Wilder a three-fight deal worth a reported $100million which would have consisted of a mandatory defence against Dominic Breazeale, followed by two Joshua fights.
Despite initially indicating he was excited by the idea, Wilder ultimately changed his mind, rejected the offer and stayed loyal to Showtime and FOX.
When the Breazeale fight did happen – on Showtime – DiBella was no longer involved.
https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/6...2-lou-dibella/
I'm picking Fury by UD or late round KO. Wilder is very easy to hit.
An in-shape Fury schools Wilder in the early to mid rounds with focus and discipline, but then a Wilder right connects and a stunned Fury backs off. Wilder then presses the action and KOs the giant in the next round—maybe the 9th or 10th-- with a windmill shot (left or right) or a paralyzing straight ala Breazeale.. We know Fury can go down. We know he can get up. But so does Wilder and Mark Breland.
As we get nearer to fight night I'm leaning more and more towards Wilder.
Partly fear because I'm a big Fury fan and nervous but mostly that I just cannot see him NOT detonating that bomb on Tyson's chin at least once in the fight.
And this time I think once will be enough.
I hope I'm wrong.
Joshua is a poor third behind these two for me.
Kenny Bayless is a referee who has a history of siding with and helping American boxers.
Glenn Feldman, Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld have all produced dodgy scorecards in the past, favoring home country the American boxer over the foreign fighter. So even if Fury survives the 12 rounds, which I think is unlikely, he'll probably lose on the scorecards regardless of how well he fights.
no reiss to help out this time, better not get dropped
Wilder has a good ko percentage but it's padded with bin men and roads sweepers to be fair! Fury has shown the formula to beat him he was robbed if Fury can hurt Wilder he can stop him any guy over 15 stone can punch these are big guys anything can and will happen from being a dramatic to a boring fight sometimes rematches can be a disappointment .🤔
Watching the press conference. Fury seems to be under cover and in hiding in his and shades.
Wilder is dumb and seems nervous to me.
