DEONTAY WILDER has vowed to RETIRE if Tyson Fury makes true on his claim to knock him out in the second round of their rematch.
The 31-year-old Gypsy King had predicted that he will have one of the easiest nights of his career during his follow-up clash against the Bronze Bomber in Las Vegas on February 22.

The superstitious 6ft 9in ace anticipates that he will emulate his round-two win against tune-up opponent Tom Schwarz last June, with a similar KO for Wilder during their rematch.
Fury said: “I am going to knock him out in the second round, he is going down inside two rounds.
“I keep having dreams where I knock him out in round two and I have been playing a lot of poker and getting dealt lots of twos, it is definitely a sign.
“He is 100 per cent getting knocked out in two rounds he can laugh about it now but he will be looking up from his back inside two.”

However, Wilder dismissed Fury’s claims in an interview with TMZ Sports, by admitting that he would retire if he lost his WBC title that quickly.
He said: “Nobody believes that. Him saying he’s going to knock me out in the second round is non-believable. He has pillows as fists so I can’t see that happening.
“I already have six years left in the sport, but if he gets me out in the second round?
“Knock me out? I’m done, bro. I’m done. Period.”
Wilder also responded to Fury’s bizarre admission that among the changes he has made to his training regime, he has started masturbating seven times a day.
The lineal heavyweight champ explained that it was a way to keep his testosterone pumping and Wilder offered his opponent some advice.
He added: “I mean, enjoy yourself. Just use the proper lotion!
“Whatever he says is for entertainment or whatever…Enjoy himself! Just use the proper lotion. I mean some like thick lotion.”
