Tyson Fury Motivated To Beat Wilder Again

Tyson Fury was holding court yesterday via Zoom, as he gets sets to defend the WBC heavyweight title against Deontay Wilder. These two have been talking about as much as they can for this third fight and Fury speaking with the media yesterday felt motivated to get the trilogy started.

“I’m very excited. I’m looking forward to this fight. I’m very motivated, focused, and determined and I can’t wait for October 9. I wish it was this weekend. I have to wait one more week until I get these big hands on Wilder for the third time,” Fury said on the virtual call to the media Wednesday.

“It’s one of the few heavyweight trilogies since Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield. I’m going to go all guns blazing, full out attack, all in victory, straight out of the door from round one until it finishes. It’s either going to be me or Wilder. I’ve never had a bad training camp, and I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m injury-free, which is the most important thing. I’m really looking forward to it, and I can’t wait.”

The mention of never having a bad training camp is to squash the rumors that he was knocked out while sparring, as relayed by Deontay Wilder, causing the fight to be delayed.

The biggest bomb however came of the virtual call came at the end of it from Top Rank CEO Bob Arum who questioned well-known UK reporter Gareth A Davies on why he’s wearing his sunglasses at night.

“Gareth, let me ask you a question. It’s 10:00 in the evening where you are. Why are you wearing the f***** sunglasses?”,  Arum said on the call Wednesday.  The tweet of the video is below courtesy of “a Twitter user named LazyleftyOG”. Easily the highlight of the Zoom chat yesterday.

Back to Fury, who will be facing Wilder for the third time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on October 9. Fury mentioned that if you thought he carded about what Wilder was doing on his preparation against him, he doesn’t.

“I don’t make much of his training videos because a lot of people speak a lot of words and nothing ever gets done about it, but we’ll see on the night. I hope he brings a better fight because {our} last fight was disappointing, to say the least. I trained for an absolute war, and it was a one-sided beatdown, so hopefully, he can give me a challenge,” Fury said.

Fury comes in as the champion this time around and the onus is on Wilder if he wants to hold the title he held for well over five years back. Fury is set and felt in the mode of rinse, rather and repeat in two weeks.

“It’s nearly that time of the year again where I take over Las Vegas, and it becomes the home of ‘The Gypsy King,’ and just remember that I plan to smash Deontay Wilder to bits….and I will,” Fury noted.
