Wilder's sparring partner: 'He won't rely on one punch'

Stephan Shaw (14-0, 10 KOs), who as a sparring partner is helping Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) to prepare for his October 9 rematch against Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), assures that the Bronze Bomber has made significant progress under the watchful eye of Malik Scott and will surprise his opponent and the fans with his boxing.

"I think we're going to see a different Wilder," the undefeated American told The Sun. "He and Malik are trying something new right now. We'll see how it works out in the fight, but he's definitely trying something new and won't be betting on one punch."

"In my opinion, one of Deontay's mistakes in the past has been thinking that his opponents should have twelve perfect rounds with him and he only needs one second to turn the tide of the fight. That might even be true, but it could work both ways - this is a heavyweight fight, and one punch could help both Deontay and Tyson. We'll see how it plays out in the fight, but for me Deontay is definitely making a difference," Stephan Shaw said.
