Tyson Fury, who will face Deontay Wilder on October 9, believes that he has a dangerous task on Saturday. Ahead of his WBC title defense against ‘The Bronze Bomber’, ‘The Gypsy King’ sat with Ariel Helwani and shared his views on umpteen factors. He compared the magnitude of his fight with Wilder to that of Joshua’s bout vs Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury said, “I have got a much harder task in my opinion than Joshua had. Joshua was messing with some cruiserweight, who was going to beat him on points, if he lost. I am messing with a man who can end you at any time of the day. Any time of the round with either hand. So, my task is much more dangerous. But I am much more capable. So, I welcome it.”

Deontay Wilder, with 41 KO wins in 44 fights, and two knockdowns against Fury is definitely a dangerous name. On October 9, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will have 36 minutes to connect one clean hit to end ‘The Gypsy King’.

Tyson Fury – The heavyweight star is spinning all the moves

All eyes are on the heavyweight stars- Fury and Wilder as they will end their rivalry with the third and final clash. Although Fury looks favorable to defend his WBC belt, Wilder has every ability to turn the tables. The A-listed KO artist claims that he is in his best form for the trilogy fight.

Thus, Tyson Fury should be prepared for a long night. On beating Wilder, he can actually be considered the ‘G.O.A.T.’ of his era. This particular status will further be helpful for Fury to garner several blockbuster matchups (against the likes of Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua). So, the dangerous Deontay Wilder is his key to unlock new challenges in his pugilistic career.
