TYSON FURY has started the mind games ahead of his rematch against Deontay Wilder – by laughing at the American’s nose piercing.
The two will rematch on February 22 in Las Vegas and held their first presser for the eagerly anticipated fight last night.

As you’d expect, there was plenty of trash-talking, and a transcript of their taunts makes for some entertaining reading.
In particular Wilder promising to “baptise” Fury – and then the Gypsy King scoffing at his opponent’s facial jewellery.
A breakdown of what will be the first of many verbal jousts reads:
Wilder: “You ever been to a baptism?”
Fury: “No, but I’ll turn up for one when I baptise you, sucker.”

Wilder: “I said I’m going to baptise that ass.”
Fury: “I’m still waiting to be baptised.”
Wilder: “I did that.”
Fury: “At least you’re starting to listen to me now. You’re getting a bit of class with your suit on. Copying me with a suit are you? I’m giving you a bit of dress sense you sucker.”
Fury: “And you’ve even got a nice nose piercing you little bitch.”
Wilder: “How are you going to knock me out?”
Fury: “I’m going to hit you on the point of the chin then the legs are going to go.”
FURY PREDICTS KO WIN
SunSport reported how Fury claims he will have one of the easiest nights of his career by knocking Wilder out in ROUND TWO of their rematch.
The 31-year-old Gypsy King is famous for his fabulous footwork and point scoring shots and claims he will be “slippery like a goldfish” on fight night.
Before his round-two win against tune-up opponent Tom Schwarz last June, the 6ft 9in ace had not won inside the opening six minutes since a 2010 walkover at Huddersfield Sports Centre.
But the superstitious former unified champ has been getting signs that the second stanza will be the deciding one on February 22.
Fury said: “I am going to win the fight, Deontay can make up all the excuses he wants, he lost the first fair and square and the same will happen in the second.
“I have never been as sure of anything in my whole life, I am going to kick that motherf*****’s a*** all over the ring.
“I have not had to lose any weight.
“He has had to get out of jail a few times with his right hand but it will not be there this time, I will be super slippery, like a goldfish in a bowl.”
The Gypsy King has also admitted to masturbating SEVEN times a day in a bid to “get the testosterone flowing” ahead of the long-awaited rematch against Wilder.
He said he will do anything if it “gives me the edge” for the clash in Sin City.
