Tyson Fury Plans On Finishing Deontay Wilder Even Quicker In Trilogy Match
Tyson Fury doesn’t seem to care too much about Deontay Wilder improving.
Fury collides with Wilder in a trilogy fight for the WBC heavyweight title on July 24 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Wilder has had plenty of time to work on his game ever since his seventh-round TKO defeat to Fury back in February 2020 with new footage leading may to believe he’ll come out as a different fighter.
However, Fury only expects one thing — to finish the American off even quicker this time.
“The only thing I’m expecting from him, and this is a personal opinion, I expect him to get knocked out quicker this time,” Fury said in a recent interview (via Middle Easy). “That’s the truth because training with a guy now who’s got him throwing combination punches and rolling down and all that — heavyweight division, you don’t do that.
“Because when you sit in the pocket and you throw more than two punches at once, you throw five, six punches — what’s gonna happen? Am I going to go, ‘alright, finish your job and I’ll hit you back afterwards’? And before, that wasn’t possible because he was throwing one punch, two punches, three punches max. But this time, if he’s going sit in the pocket and throw punches, I’m going to clip him proper.”
Fury stuck with that belief when giving out his official prediction.
“I took him out in seven rounds last time. … I changed styles from being an elusive boxer to an aggressive puncher and now, let’s just say I’ve been working on that for 18 months,” Fury said. “… We’re really working on taking him out nice and quickly.”
Do you expect a quicker knockout for Fury?
