A man six foot 185 pounds, can box, can fight. We’ve seen him knock people out, seen him in the gym sparring,” said Fury.

The 30-0 champion then spoke about the difficulty of knockout a journeyman with over fifty losses. He said Paul would be harder to knockout since he wants to win. Moreover. Fury referenced their similarities in size and said that would make it a lot harder.
