Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s high-voltage trilogy is just a few hours away. The duo will touch gloves in a packed T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This fight faced a few setbacks, as it was earlier set to go on floors on July 24. However, now, we are just hours away from their collision.

Both Wilder and Fury are in their true element for this battle. They are physically in proper shape and have the most ideal mindset to come up and showcase their best versions.

In his fresh interaction with ESPN, ‘The Gypsy King’ said, “Does it go the distance? No chance. I’ll stop him again. I’ll smash him. I’ll submit him this time. Like an MMA fighter, I’ll make him quit. I’ll punish him severely. I’m going to really, really damage him.” (h/t Michael Benson)

Fury, before his second fight with Wilder, promised to only go ahead with his shots and press the Alabama native. He did exactly that and this approach worked wonders for him.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ had no answers to the Lancashire native’s assault. Citing Wilder’s apprehensive approach, Fury capitalized with big blows.

‘The Gypsy King’ dropped Wilder twice in the fight, shocking the hard hitter. Building on that, he administered a beating on Wilder that prompted ‘The Bronze Bomber’s corner to throw in the towel.
