The 30-0-1 boxer spoke to FightHype.com on YouTube and gave a trademark Fury response. “Malik Scott’s a b***h, and so is Deontay Wilder. And I’ll fight both of them, one after the other, on the same night. And smack ‘em round, like pu***** what they are,” said ‘The Gypsy King.’

This was in response to Wilder’s first training video for over a year, where he smashed pads with his new trainer. However, Tyson clearly does not rate the former champion’s skills or his trainer’s.

Fury said, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. And once I’ve got his heart and his mojo, it’s right here in me pocket, so if you want them Deontay, come and fight ‘The Gypsy King’ and come and take what I’ve got belonging to you.”

Fury’s words clarified that he believes ‘The Bronze Bomber’ cannot improve on his old ways and would fight the same way if they boxed again. However, the Englishman showed in the second fight that he can easily diffuse that style. Thus, it is no secret why ‘The Gypsy King’ is so confident at the prospect of a trilogy.
