Leonard Ellerbe is confident that if it comes to the third fight of Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) against Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), the American will defeat the King of the Gypsies by KO. Mayweather Promotions CEO said in an interview with IFL TV that he expects a "hard knockout" in this meeting.

“Sugar Hill has made some changes that have enriched Fury's boxing. These were major fixes, but Wilder can do something differently that will work in his favor,” Ellerbe said.

“But Wilder has to work from the start. He cannot give the initiative to Fury because Fury is a great boxer, especially considering his physical parameters. I have access to information that others do not have, and I know this is a brand new Deontay Wilder. You haven't seen anything like it yet!" the CEO of Floyd Mayweather's company said.

The third confrontation of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is scheduled for July 24 in Las Vegas, unless the Bronze Bomber decides to accept the "payoff" and allows the Briton to fight Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) first.
