WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury looks calm and confident ahead of his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder, which holds sheer significance in both men’s careers. Well, the last encounter validates Fury’s confidence as he handed a lopsided defeat to his American rival and claimed the WBC belt.

Hence, Fury has vowed that he will register an even better performance on July 24. That said, he believes Deontay Wilder is stuck at the defeat that cost him his undefeated tag. Speaking with Gareth Davies, ‘The Gypsy King’ shared his raw opinion on ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and the upcoming trilogy fight.

Tyson Fury said, “Yeah. I’ve done nothing wrong, I just continue to do what I do. Keep moving forward and landing pressure on him, landing big punches – he’s the one that’s coming off a knockout loss and one-sided fight.”

However, Tyson Fury didn’t rule out the dangers that Deontay Wilder can bring. Despite all the criticisms, Wilder remains an A-list knockout artist. In a record of 42-1-1-, he has 41 KOs.

‘The Gypsy King’ continued, “If you’re an alcoholic or drugs addict, the only way you can actually move on from that is acceptance. He still hasn’t moved on from defeat, that’s what I think is happening with Wilder. But he’s not to be underestimated, he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
