If I were him I would just try a bit of everything. Make it ugly at times and mess Wlad around, fight orthodox and southpaw and keep it long in other rounds and, if he's confident he can risk taking a shot, he should take it to him as well. Just be unpredictable and don't let Wlad settle into a rhythm.

I honestly haven't got a clue how this is going to pan out and that's what makes it interesting. Fury's chin is the biggest worry. He's been down against some light punchers, sure, but he's always got up on steady legs and got straight back into it so he seems to be able to recover pretty quickly. The trouble is, he's never been in with someone with Wlad's power before and there's no doubting that Wlad is in a different league to his previous opponents. We just don't know how good or bad Fury is. He could easily be knocked out the first time Wlad hits him with a solid shot or he could produce something no one thinks he's capable of. It's a mystery to me!
He fought Price in the amateurs and it was Price who went down it that one.

He sparred Joshua and Joshua complained that Tyson was too rough for him. Hes also sparred other good punchers. Tyson has a survival instinct and will to win.
