Despite the underdog status, Deontay Wilder seems to possess sheer self-belief about vanquishing Tyson Fury for the WBC world title when they collide in a trilogy bout on July 24. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ may not want to score an easy win and has expressed that he intends to hurt Fury in the ring. Well, that is not news to the American boxer’s fans.

Ahead of the big return, he posted a picture on social media and shocked several fans. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ revealed blood-stains on his shoes to reflect the intensity of his ongoing sessions.
