I’m going to make Wilder quit, says Fury

Wilder Fury III



British professional boxer, Tyson Fury, has vowed to win the World Boxing Council [WBC] heavyweight title when he fights Deontay Wilder on February 22, 2020.

According to Fury, the rematch against Wilder will produce “the real champion”.

The WBC heavyweight title will be on the line when Fury and Wilder, who fought to a thrilling draw in December 2018, do battle at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“There’s no more ducking and diving,” Fury told reporters.

“The date has been set, and the ‘Bomb Squad’ is about to be securely detonated and the real champion crowned as the world watches on for the most anticipated fight in years.

“This is unfinished business for me, but come February 22, this dosser will finally get what’s coming to him, and I can’t wait!”

Fury, 31, boldly claimed he will make Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) quit a la “Sugar” Ray Leonard-Roberto Duran II in 1980.

“He’s happy to lose every single round on the way to knocking someone out,” Fury said in a rant filmed as part of co-promoter Top Rank’s “Real Time” digital documentary series.

“He ain’t going to touch me this time. I’m going to make him say ‘no mas.’ Wilder will say ‘no mas’ in this fight when he can’t land on me and I make him look like a ripe idiot.”

Fury also explained his somewhat surprising decision to split with long-serving trainer Ben Davison in the build-up to the fight, saying their work had gone “stale”.

SugarHill Steward will instead train Fury in a match against a fellow undefeated fighter in Wilder.

“We’re gonna go back to basics,” Fury said on ESPN’s College GameDay.

“I trained with SugarHill Steward back in 2010, we got on like a house on fire.

“I was going a little bit stale, repetitive, doing the same things day in, day out for years. I needed a change.”

Wilder insists it is he who will end any doubt over who is the better fighter.

“I proved myself the first time and I’m ready to do it again,” the WBC champion said.

“It was a very controversial fight. I promise my fans that there won’t be any controversy with this one. I’m going to finish it.

“I’m happy and I’m excited that the rematch is finally happening. I want to give the fans what they want to see. I’ve been doing it with my last three outings – Fury, Dominic Breazeale and Luis Ortiz.

“They’ve been spectacular events – from my ring walks where I gather all the energy of the people, to my uniforms that I wear to help spread that energy.

“Then I give them what they all come for – the knockouts, and my knockouts have been amazing.”
