HEAVYWEIGHT champ Tyson Fury has made his prediction ahead of his fight with Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
The Gypsy King, 33, believes the scrap will NOT go the distance and insists he’s going to force the Bronze Bomber, 35, to throw the towel in again.
As quoted by ESPN via Michael Benson, Fury said: “Does it go the distance? No chance. I’ll stop him again. I’ll smash him.”
Fury floored Wilder twice during their second fight in February 2020, with the American’s corner throwing the towel in during the seventh round.
But during the first bout in December 2018, Wilder floored the Brit in the eleventh round before the judges called a controversial draw.
And Fury believes the third meeting between the pair will be similar to their last scrap – but even more in favour of the defending champ.
He added: “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.”
Fury is the favourite for the fight and British boxing legend Frank Bruno has tipped his compatriot to deliver again.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has also backed the Gypsy King to win on Saturday but believes he won’t stop the powerful American inside 12 rounds.
And Fury’s British rival Anthony Joshua reckons Wilder will shock the boxing world and reclaim his WBC belt in Las Vegas.
When asked about the fight, Joshua said: “I’m not too bothered… let’s go with Wilder because he seems obsessed, like he really wants it.
“He seems really focused on the task ahead, so, you know, a focused man is a dangerous man and he’s focused.
“Wilder might get the decision. Actually, no, it has to be a knockout.”
