Tyson Fury believes Deontay Wilder doesn’t have what it takes to beat him ever inside the boxing ring. He is praise-worthy towards Wilder’s impeccable punching power and even bills the American star superior to any other contender in the heavyweight division. However, not superior to himself.
Undefeated WBC champion Fury earned his world title by poleaxing Deontay Wilder in their rematch in February 2020. It was Wilder’s first and sole loss of his pro-boxing career that doomed him down to severe criticisms. However, Wilder, 42-1-1 is back to earning a shot at Fury in an epic trilogy on October 9 and has infused some new techniques in his training camp like practicing underwater.
Wilder’s training clips, reflecting his sheer pad work and mitt work, have already taken a toll on social media. While Fury has praised all these new initiatives, he still considered them to be useless for The Bronze Bomber.

In a chat with Lockdown, Tyson Fury, said, “There’s a lot of new stuff that he is doing which I respect him for, as a fighter, as a boxer. Trying to learn new tricks. I think he is 35, so never too late. I learned different tricks, and I have practiced and mastered it and I am soaking Deontay. But you know water don’t hit you back and training in pad or whatever doesn’t hit you back.”
“It’s all right doing all that stuff on a video camera. When you gotta manage on the front here, you just can’t throw six left hooks to the body without retrieving one back and it’s not reality.”

Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder already has experience with two fights against Fury. Thus, this particular camp appears to have been a fair ride to the trilogy clash.

Relinquishing over a year-long hiatus, both men have fought no one else since facing each other in the rematch. Thus, it might open up a 50-50 matchup when Wilder and Fury re-collide to close off their rivalry.
