Fury Vows To Knockout Wilder In Fiery Press Conference

WBC Heavyweight Tyson Fury promised to knockout his American rival, Deontay Wilder when the two clash in their third heavyweight bout in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Fury who battled Wilder to a draw in 2018 before taking the belt from the American 20 months ago, was the aggressor in Wednesday’s news conference, repeatedly berating the former champion.

“You’re a weak man and you’re getting knocked out,” said Fury.

“Your legacy will be in tatters. Torn to bits. Finished,” he added during a particularly heated back-and-forth near the end of the event, which led organizers to call off a planned face-off for the cameras.

Fury was upset by cheating claims from Wilder, who said the Brit cheated by tampering with his gloves in their last bout.

Saturday’s fight was initially scheduled for July 24 before Fury’s positive COVID-19 test forced a postponement.

Wilder, sporting a blood-red tracksuit with the words “Eye for an eye” written on it in Russian, appeared more relaxed, saying he had “nothing to lose and everything to gain” in the fight.

“I’m in a great place, a great state of mind,” Wilder said.

“There’s nothing to prove at all. This right here in redemption, retaliation and retribution.”

The winner is expected to face Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the other three titles, for a chance to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lenox Lewis 21 years ago.
