    ROACH THE COACH Tyson Fury hires legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach for Deontay Wilder fight
    The Gypsy King takes on big punching WBC champ Wilder next month with both fighters undefeated records on the line

    TYSON FURY has teamed up with legendary trainer Freddie Roach for his WBC world title fight against Deontay Wilder.

    Fury has moved away from the Big Bear Gym in California he shared with Gennady Golovkin and set up at Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles ahead of the next month's huge showdown.



    Roach, who worked with boxing’s only eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao for 20 years, says he was asked by Fury to work his corner at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 1.

    The trainer revealed he will be working alongside Fury’s young trainer Ben Davison as the Gypsy King’s cut man.

    He told SI.com: “He asked me if I’d work in his corner, he asked me if I could do cuts.
    “I said, ‘Yeah, I have guys better than me though.’

    “He said, ‘Do you know what you’re doing?’, and I said, ‘Of course I do - I have everything you need.’ So I’m the cut man.”

    Roach has been working with Fury at his gym in LA and is full of praise for the Manchester-born fighter’s boxing skills.

    He added: “I like him, he’s very positive and he has a good idea of how he is going to win this fight.
    “He’s got good legs, he feints well. He’s a talented guy.”

    Roach believes the Brit can out-box the heavy punching Wilder and insists Fury’s conditioning will allow him to go 12 rounds without any problem.

    He continued: “I think he has the ability to outbox Wilder.

    “He can’t outpunch him. If he tries to slug with him, he’ll get caught.

    “But he’s a good boxer and he has good legs and I think he can box for 12 rounds without any problem whatsoever.

    “He seems to be in very good condition. Boxing here, he has gone up to 12 rounds a couple of times.

    “His best asset is his sight. He sees what’s happening in there, he’s not going to get hit with a right hand out of left field.

    “I like him in this fight a lot. I think he has a great game plan to win this fight.”

    I’m not being a cunt , and I know Roach will be doing more than just cuts , but surely his hands will be too shaky to take care of cuts?

    No, never thought of that, he does pad work and more.

    Yeah, but his shakes aren’t such a problem when he’s on the pads. Trying to tend to a cut eye is another story.

    I can think.of steadier hands in the business, strange move picking Roach, is Fury having doubts about his own trainer and his massive lack of experience?
