"He's still the most dangerous opponent possible, more dangerous than Usyk or Joshua, but I will beat him again," promises Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), who is scheduled to end his trilogy with Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) on October 9.
"When I got up in the last round of our first fight after the knockout and looked at him, I knew how to beat him. And I knew I had to hit him hard, not box him. That knockdown was the best thing that could have happened to me because he got us to do it a second time and I signed a big contract with ESPN. Then I announced that I was going to send him to the floor in the second fight. And he would be knocked out, only in the third fight. I was sure I would knock him out in a rematch. After the first and second knockdowns, I saw that the work wasn't finished yet, so I had to take a little more time for that. But when I got in the seventh round, it was already over. In my opinion, the ref then saved his career," stated "The Gypsy King". But his opponent had colossal grievances against both the ref and Fury himself, and even his trainer, who was allegedly involved in some kind of conspiracy and poisoned his water.
"All his excuses have made him even weaker. Sometimes you just have to accept defeat and he has become weaker both as a boxer and as a person. Instead of picking himself up, he started looking for more excuses. I'm ready for a rematch today, tomorrow and always. I can't wait. I'm focused, motivated and determined. The only pity is that I'll have to wait another week. I'll attack him from all sides from the start, I'm full of energy, and I won't pause until the fight is over. It's him or me! I hope he brings something new to the ring and raises the bar, because our last fight was very one-sided. I'm going to tear him apart again," the WBC heavyweight champion continued.
"I'm not a hundred percent ready, I'm a million percent ready. I'm in great shape, I've had the best sparring partners I've had for twelve rounds each. For Wilder it's a fight to be or not to be, I'm a three-to-one favourite, so he's got nothing to lose, he can only win. You can never write off a guy like Wilder," concluded Fury.
