Javan Hill, WBC heavyweight champion coach Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) compared his ward to boxing's greatest legends ahead of Saturday's fight at London's Wembley Stadium, where Fury will face the mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs).

“What style will Tyson fight on Saturday? We're going for the knockout. I will not predict the round in which this will happen. You need to watch your opponent, notice his mistakes and use them. Then comes the early victory. Now I am more relaxed than when I first started working with Tyson. We have a lot of fun in the preparatory camps. Besides, all the attention is on Tyson, I'm calm," said "Sugar" Hill, whose uncle was the legendary coach Emanuel Steward, and whose coaching philosophy, Detroit's Kronk Hall style, continued Javan.

“Will Tyson retire after this fight? It doesn't matter to me, what matters is what makes him happy. I have seen many legendary heavyweights fight live and Tyson is definitely one of them. No one really knows yet what he is capable of. See you on Saturday. Only Muhammad Ali moved as fast and free in heavyweight as Tyson. And now the “King of the Gypsies” has increased the power of the blow, so you can say that he has become the Sugar Ray Robinson of the royal division, ”added the American specialist, a former Detroit police officer.

Sugar Ray Robinson, who competed in the professional ring in 1940-1965 in four weight categories (lightweight, welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight), is considered by many boxing historians to be the best professional boxer in history.
