Tyson Fury has appeared confident about vanquishing Deontay Wilder on October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Despite his confidence, he isn’t ready to demean his rival’s prowess.

‘The Gypsy King’ has backed Deontay Wilder as a dangerous heavyweight puncher several times. Although that hasn’t stopped him from boasting about his self-confidence, Fury has once again talked about the dangers of facing the American KO-star.

Showcasing 41 KOs in a 42-1-1 resume, Wilder has been a prime enigma in the division. Hence, Fury has rightly acknowledged those features. As we stand a few days away from Fury vs Wilder 3, Tyson Fury connected with BBC to share his opinion on Deontay Wilder as an opponent.

Tyson Fury’s Trainer: Who Is Preparing Him for the Deontay Wilder Trilogy?

The WBC champion said, “A lot of people are writing Wilder off in this fight. They almost look at him like he’s a bum. Like he can’t fight and he’s useless. You can’t write him off.”

“Make no mistake about this, Deontay Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight out there. Combine them all together and they don’t make a danger like Wilder. So that’s what I’m messing with. I’m playing with an atomic bomb, messing round, clipping wires. Every time you go into the ring with Deontay Wilder you’re playing with that danger.”(H/T:- Boxing Scene)

Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder has reflected a ‘gangster-mindset’ ahead of his return. He has vowed to attack Tyson Fury from every angle, citing an intriguing contest ahead.

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 – The End of the tale

If we look back to 2018, Deontay Wilder could actually see Tyson Fury eye-to-eye, as both men were unbeaten back then. The first fight saw both men box to a controversial split decision draw.

Nevertheless, Tyson Fury learned a lot from the first fight and made some quick adjustments in the re-match. The second fight in February 2020 was a lopsided affair in favor of the Brit. After manhandling ‘The Bronze Bomber’ for a brief period, Tyson Fury stopped him in round seven. But ‘The Gypsy King’ has claimed to have witnessed dangers even in that contest.

“This is the third time now I’ve been in the ring with him and every single time he’s been very dangerous. He’s a very dangerous hombre with big, big power and he can close the distance quickly. With most boxers they need to hit you with five punches, with Wilder he can hit you with a quarter punch and knock you spark out,” said Fury.
