Tyson Fury's coach reveals he will weigh in HEAVIER than his last fight against Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury will weigh in at least 20lbs 'heavier than last time' for his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder, according to his trainer SugarHill Steward.

Fury, 33, will face Wilder, 35, for the third and possibly final time on October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Gypsy King told reporters at a press conference in June that he will tip the scales at a whopping 300 lbs at the weigh-ins on Friday.

And while Steward insists that isn't the case, he did admit that Fury will be over a stone heavier for his trilogy bout against Wilder than he was in their rematch.

"It’s not going to be 300 pounds, it’s probably going to be like 290 or something but not 300 exactly," Steward told Vegas Insider.

"Heavier than last time by 20 pounds or so, why not?

"The bigger the better, the heavier the stronger.

"He’s training with that weight, he’s built up.

"It’s not like he’s just putting on fat, it’s building up muscles.

"The bigger the better, the heavier the stronger."

Fury is driven and motivated by fear, according to Steward, the nephew of legendary boxing coach Emanuel Steward, as he prepares for his trilogy fight with Wilder.

"There’s always that fear factor, you’ve got to have that," he insisted.

"That’s what keeps you sharp. You have got to have that.

"That’s not to say you believe it always or you’re afraid of anyone, but to keep you sharp it's a really important thing."

And Steward also expects to face the best version of The Bronze Bomber on Saturday night.

He continued: "I have to consider everything.

"We’re preparing for the best Deontay Wilder that he can be. Let’s just say he’s improved so much. You can’t go in there and think anything less.

"We’re preparing for him to come in at the highest peak of his abilities and that's how we’re training and preparing - for the best Deontay Wilder."

Fury, 33, stopped Wilder in the seventh round last February.

And he is confident he can repeat the same feat against the 'one-trick pony' this weekend.

Fury said: "I gave my game plan away the first time because he wasn’t good enough to do anything about it.

"And I’ll do the same thing this time because he's not good enough to do anything about it.

"Deontay Wilder is a one-trick pony. He's got one-punch power, we all know that - great.

"But what I'm going to do to Deontay Wilder this time is I'm going to run him over as if I’m an 18-wheeler and he's a human being.

"I guarantee he does not go past where he did before [the seventh round].

"Because before, I only had five or six weeks of practicing what I'm going to do to him.

"This time, I’ve had 18 months of practicing what I'm going to do to him.

"So I anticipate it's going to be like an 18-wheeler running over somebody, and that's what you're gonna see.

"I’m building my weight up, trying to get up to 300lbs for this fight.

"Because I’m looking for a big knockout straight away."

The Ring picks are in. 19-1 in favour of Fury.

Wilder doesn't look or sound confident at all to me.

Could fold completely if he has a bad first round again.

Fury tied him in knots verbally at the presser, Wilder just sat there clueless while Fury dished out abuse

Was heating up nicely then Bob Arum wouldn't allow a face to face.

Whyte lined up for Fury vs Wilder winner

Dillian Whyte has been confirmed as a challenger for the winner of Tyson Fury's WBC heavyweight title fight against Deontay Wilder this weekend.

Fury defends his WBC belt in a trilogy clash with Wilder in Las Vegas, with Whyte lined up to challenge the victorious champion after the governing body confirmed a long-awaited title shot.

The WBC has stated that Fury or Wilder could target an undisputed world title fight, if they emerge with the WBC belt.

But Oleksandr Usyk's expected rematch with Anthony Joshua should mean that Whyte receives a WBC title fight, if he preserves his status as WBC interim champion.

A WBC statement read: "The WBC Board of Governors has reviewed the recent history in the Heavyweight Division.

"Considering the long inactivity in the division due to the pandemic, ongoing legal processes, and Covid-19 infections, the WBC has ruled that the winner of this fight will have 30 days to secure a contract to unify the Heavyweight Division against WBO-IBF-WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in search of an undisputed champion in the division.

"If no unification bout is secured within that time, the winner of Fury v. Wilder 3 must then fight next against the then reigning WBC Interim Heavyweight Champion."

Who's more likely to fight Whyte after a win... Fury or Wilder?

I'd say Wilder. Fury's too unstable with his actions and his career. He's liable to just retire and go into either acting or wrestling. You also never know about his emotional state. For that alone, I think a Wilder victory would be better for the division, short-term. It would keep things moving.... titles being united... etc.

Either way... I'm looking forward to Saturday night.

Everyones seriously overlooking Otto Wallin here, i think Wallin is well capable of beating Dillian Whyte, this division has recently been turned on its head so nothing would surprise me

"Considering the long inactivity in the division due to the pandemic, ongoing legal processes, and Covid-19 infections, and the chronic lack of sanctioning fees being paid to the WBC over the last year and a half the WBC has ruled that the winner of this fight will have 30 days to secure a contract to unify the Heavyweight Division against WBO-IBF-WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in search of an undisputed champion in the division.

This is just the WBC throwing a spanner into the post fight plans of the winner. They'll have to come up with a nice sum of money to get the WBC to back off and let them wait for the Joshua-Usyk winner if they're on a promise from Saudi. This is just the WBC after a bigger sliver of any Saudi money.

I hope the site is working faster than this on Saturday night.

"King Dosser" . Not the best presser but hey hello hype up. Fury looked genuinely heated bit on edge and there's just something about Wilder where no matter how cool and relaxed he tries to come off it feels like a bad act. Next time take their phones away too . Be funny if Wilder tries to come out on the backfoot trying to rifle rights down the middle though..
