      Inside Tyson Fury’s gut-busting 5,000 calorie-a-day diet for Wilder fight including fish, fruit and LOTS of coffee

      by

      WHEN you’re 6ft 9in, 19 stone and the heavyweight champion of the world, you need to eat a lot of food – especially before a big fight.And Tyson Fury is no exception to the rule – consuming 5,000 CALORIES A DAY ahead of his third meeting with Deontay Wilder on Saturday.

      The Gypsy King has been consuming 5,000 calories a day
      Nutritionist and chef George Lockhart revealed the Gypsy King’s incredible diet during an interview with leading coffee retailer Coffee Friend.
      He said: “First thing in the morning Tyson is definitely going to have a coffee with his breakfast and what he eats is dictated by the activities of the day.
      “But one thing that’s constant every single day is he has: one fish, one chicken, and one red meat throughout the day in each one of his meals.
      “It might go up and it might go down but he consumes about 5,000 calories a day.”
      Fury, 33, is aiming to defend the heavyweight title he convincingly won from Wilder, 35, 18 months ago in Las Vegas on Saturday evening.
      The Gypsy King has endured a difficult training camp ahead of the fight after contracting Covid and his daughter Athena’s premature birth.

      But when it comes to his diet, Fury hasn’t struggled to eat the right things to ensure he’s in peak physical condition for the huge fight.
      Lockhart added: “He doesn’t have any cheat meals, he does not really crave anything.
      “He also gets things like yoghurts and fruit bowls, so we give him tons of antioxidants.
      “He gets those with the fruit but through the coffee as well, which is great at getting rid of pre-radicals.
      “When you workout as much as Tyson does you create a lot of pre-radicals. We want to make sure we keep that stress down and keep him healthy.”
      Lockhart is currently in Vegas as part of Fury’s 11-man team for the fight, which includes brother and Love Island star Tommy.

      The chef continued: “When you workout, your body creates a lot of negative material, you’re stressing the body out.
      “The pre-radicals is what our body releases when you work out, so when you ingest an antioxidant it actually gets rid of those pre-radicals.
      “You can have an amazing car, put amazing fuel in it but if it’s got no exhaust system it’s going to break down.
      “Antioxidants are basically what helps you stay younger, it helps with inflammation and helps you look younger. So coffee is a good antioxidant.”
      Lockhart also explained why Fury and his team love coffee, adding: “Coffee absolutely helps Tyson Fury in his preparations, 100 per cent.
      “Tyson uses it for performance and for a social thing. Every morning when the guys get up, everyone in the team has a cup of coffee.

      “Coffee is a huge deal to Tyson. Him and Sugar Hill bought this $1,500 coffee machine, it’s insane.
      “I thought all coffee tasted the same until I tried it. It helps him out with focus and energy levels.”
      And Lockhart is backing his boss to win on Saturday, insisting: “I have seen first hand in camp that Tyson Fury keeps on getting better and better.
      If I’m being honest, while I know Wilder is a big puncher – and this is a bold statement – if Wilder makes it out of the third round I’ll be shocked.
      “I truly believe Tyson Fury will put him away before that.”

      Inside Tyson Fury’s chaotic training camp for Deontay Wilder trilogy from newborn’s intensive care battle to Covid cases

      by

      TYSON FURY is just hours away from stepping into battle for a third time against Deontay Wilder.And the Gypsy King’s journey to the trilogy blockbuster has been far from plain sailing.

      Fury is the bookies favourite to make a successful defence of his WBC heavyweight title against the man he sensationally ripped the belt from.
      In February 2020 the Morecambe mauler battered Wilder into a seventh-round stoppage – exacting revenge for the first-fight draw that many believed Fury should have won.
      And so the two will go at it for a third time in Las Vegas.
      Rival promoter Eddie Hearn, still smarting after his man Anthony Joshua lost all his belts to Oleksandr Usyk, believes Fury is ‘not ready’ for the fight.
      And the 33-year-old’s preparation has indeed hasn’t been as smooth as it could have been.
      Here, SunSport runs through just some of the issues that have played a part in Fury’s fight camp.

      Contracting coronavirus
      Fury tested positive for coronavirus in July that put paid to the trilogy taking place that month.
      A new date of October 9 was agreed – but Wilder seems to think Team Fury ‘lied’ about the Gypsy King getting the virus.
      He told the PBC Podcast: “They’re trying to run away from it, I’m running to it. I don’t believe he had Covid.”

      But Fury blasted the American, and says he contracted Covid-19 TWICE and was left feeling ‘weak’ and ‘terrible’.
      He said: “I’ve had Covid twice. I had it once back in like 2020 and once a couple of months ago.
      “The first time was a lot harder because I lost my sense of smell and taste, and I felt weak and I felt terrible. The second time, I didn’t feel that terrible.”
      Bedside vigil for newborn
      Tyson and Paris’ sixth child Athena was rushed straight to ICU after birth on August 8.
      The worried parents were by their daughter’s side around the clock as she was treated in intensive care.
      And to the Gypsy King’s delight, Athena was discharged and finally able to come home.

      The boxing champion kept his fans updated on Athena’s progress throughout the worrying time on social media.
      But the ordeal took its toll on the WBC heavyweight champion, who will return to the boxing ring for the first time in 20 months on October 9.
      Speaking to ITV, he said: “[It] probably took a couple of years off my life, the amount of stress I was under.”

      Separating from Steward
      Fury linked up with the legendary SugarHill Steward before he battered Wilder in 2020.
      But his training with the American has not ran as smoothly as he might have hoped.

      Fury has been with SugarHill Steward – but might not have done the amount of boxing training he hoped for
      The BBC reports that Steward was only able to join him two weeks before he was due to return to the States.
      And it adds that ‘Fury’s camp has been severely disrupted in the build-up.
      Chaotic press conference
      The first press conference featuring the pair in June was a strange one – Fury tried his best to provoke Wilder but the American had the perfect way to keep out the noise.
      The deposed champ sat there for the duration with his headphones on – even keeping them glued to his ears when the pair went face-to-face.
      But the final presser ahead of the scrap was very different. Fury bounded around the stage with the microphone, while Wilder sat down and gave it back.

      Chaos ensued when presenter Kate Abdo appeared to signal for the traditional ‘head-to-head’ – but Fury’s promoter Bob Arum went ballistic and called it off.
      He says by doing so he ‘saved the fight’ – and then he proceeded to deliver a foul-mouthed tirade towards the 40-year-old British TV presenter.
      ESPN’s Mike Coppinger was also given both barrels by Arum, the 89-year-old telling him to ‘shut the f*** up, p***k’.

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3: UK start time, TV channel, live stream and predictions for the HUGE trilogy fight

      by

      TYSON FURY’S massive heavyweight trilogy showdown with Deontay Wilder is just over 24 hours away.The Gypsy King exchanged some choice words with Wilder during Wednesday’s press conference, where the Bronze Bomber doubled down on his cheating allegations against Fury.

      Fury wanted to know why Wilder’s head trainer Jay Deas wasn’t fired after their second fight, but assistant coach Mark Breland was.
      It was Deas who was in the room watching Fury’s gloves being taped up pre-fight and assumingly saw no wrongdoing.
      But Wilder claims the Brit’s gloves were tampered with.
      The two rivals barked at each other on stage to end the news conference, leaving fans salivating for Friday’s weigh-in and Saturday’s fight.
      Should Fury win, he’s likely set to face the winner of Dillian Whyte and Otto Wallin, who will face off for the former’s WBC interim title on October 30.
      The winner of that would then likely go on to face the victor from Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2.
      Las Vegas awaits Fury and Wilder first, though, with 20,000 fans expected to pack out the T-Mobile Arena on the city’s famous strip.
      Fury will be hoping for more of the same from their second bout, where he decimated Wilder across seven brutal rounds 20 months ago.
      Wilder’s biggest success against Fury came in their first fight almost three years ago, when the American dropped his foe twice en route to a split decision draw.
      Since their second fight, Wilder sacked Breland for quitting against his will and has been spouting excuses for the past year.
      The 35-year-old has claimed he was tired due to his heavy ring-walk costume, while Breland was accused of spiking his water.
      For as much as it was a devastating defeat for Wilder it was a statement by Fury which had the whole world talking up a potential heavyweight unification bout against Joshua.
      But with the coronavirus pandemic putting boxing and the rest of the world on hold negotiations came to halt.
      And when talks started on a £200m mega-fight in Saudi Arabia this summer, Wilder had his rematch clause for a third fight reinstated after it expired during Covid.
      Arbitrator Daniel Weinstein ordered Fury to fight the Alabama Slammer for a third fight or face paying up $80m.
      And Wilder says he is confident of reclaiming his belt and knocking out Fury after having 18 months to train for the clash.
      He said: “I see me beating him up and then knocking him out. As many things that I visualize in the first fight along with the second.
      “I didn’t execute the game plan but this time around it’s just a different feeling, you know, all the way around. Just all the surroundings around me.
      “The atmosphere. You know what I’m saying just the energy as a whole. I’m looking forward to putting on a great performance come October the 9th.
      While Fury has admitted he has been under a sex ban during his fight camp and says he is going to knock Wilder ‘the f*** out’.”
      It might not have been the fight most British fans wanted to see but with so much on the line this fight will be one for the ages no matter the outcome.

      (Odds via Betfair at the time of publication)
      How the fighters compare
      It’s pretty fair to say that Fury and Wilder are two completely different fighters.
      In years gone by, Wilder has been known for his one-punch knockout power, his ferocious finishes and the mighty torque he gets into his right hands.
      He’s often been criticised for his lack of traditional boxing technique, having picked up the sport late in his life, before managing to secure himself an Olympic bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
      But Wilder has rarely ever needed boxing technique to get through his fights, boasting an incredible 41 knockouts from his 44 fights.
      Fury, on the other hand, has been boxing since he was a child, and is known for his excellent footwork, feinting, double-jabbing and ring IQ.
      He outwitted the great Wladimir Klitschko in their world title clash back in 2015 and outboxed Wilder for long periods of their first fight in 2018, though it ended in a draw.
      Fury does pack a heavy punch, however, as he showed in his rematch with Wilder, but it’s his boxing which allows him to set up the offensive side of his game.
      What have they said?
      Speaking at the pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, Fury said: “All these fights are exactly the same to me. I’ve got some guy trying to take my head off with punches.
      “It don’t matter if it’s Deontay Wilder, or whoever it may be. It doesn’t really matter to me, because it’s the Tyson Fury road show.
      I absolutely obliterated him in the rematch. He didn’t even win any of the rounds.
      “In this third fight, I just see much more of the same.
      “I hope you’ve got your excuse book ready, dosser!”
      But Wilder fired back that he didn’t regret his cheating allegations towards Fury.
      “I don’t regret it and I go to my grave believing in what I believe in,” said Wilder.
      “I know things for fact. I have confirmation, clarity of a lot of things.
      “Many people can believe what they want. We’re all human. We believe what we want.
      “But the eyes don’t lie.
      “It only made me better as a man, as a fighter, to understand and see certain things. To know things for facts.
      “It made me even hungrier than before.”
      Where is Fury vs Wilder 3 taking place?
      Fury vs Wilder 3 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, making it the third different venue in pair’s three fights.
      Fury vs Wilder 1 took place at Staples Center in Los Angeles back in December 2018.
      And while their second happened in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand Garden Arena was the venue.
      But now the T-Mobile Arena, which has hosted huge fights such as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin and numerous big UFC events, will play host for their third clash.
      Who is training Tyson Fury?
      Tyson Fury will be trained, once again, by SugarHill Steward, who took his corner for the second Wilder fight.
      Fury used to be trained by Ben Davison, who was in charge for the very first Wilder bout, but was replaced by Steward a year later.
      Steward instantly implemented his ‘Kronk style’ of training, one in which where boxers who fight out of the Kronk Gym in Detroit, Michigan, seek to put pressure on their opponents to force a knockout.
      The style of fighting was first introduced by legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, SugarHill’s late uncle.
      Fury predicted that with SugarHill in his corner, he would bring the fight to Wilder and take him out during their second fight, a prediction not many believed in.
      But the Gypsy King did just that, stopping Wilder in seven rounds. And now, with 18 months more Kronk training under his belt, Fury will be looking for the same result on October 9.
      Who is training Deontay Wilder?
      Wilder has brought in a new head trainer in Malik Scott, who the Bronze Bomber fought and knocked out back in 2014.
      Scott and Wilder have worked all summer in attempt to sharpen the latter’s boxing skills, quickening both his feet and hands in preparation for Fury.
      Wilder will still have ex-head trainer Jay Deas in his corner, but Scott will take charge on fight night.

      The Alabama native used to have former world champion Mark Breland in his corner, but he was sacked after Wilder accused him of spiking his water before the second Fury fight.
      It was also Breland who threw the towel in, forcing the referee to stop the fight midway through the seventh round.
      What happened during Fury vs Wilder 1?
      Fury’s first fight with Wilder took place in Los Angeles, California on December 1, 2018, several months after the Gypsy King’s two comeback bouts with Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta.
      Wilder was the favourite heading into the fight, having knocked out every opponent he’d ever faced before Fury, who had spent two years out of the ring with drug addiction and mental health problems.
      But the fight ended in a controversial split decision draw after both fighters enjoyed success throughout the contest.
      Fury managed to outbox Wilder for most of the fight but was knocked down in the ninth and 12th rounds.
      The Brit looked to have been knocked out cold by Wilder in the final rounds before getting up and beating the count in a manner that saw him compared with The Undertaker.
      The fight was scored 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.
      What happened during Fury vs Wilder 2?
      Fury vs Wilder 2 took place in Las Vegas on February 20, 2020 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
      The second fight turned out to be a more one-sided affair, with Fury shocking the boxing world to stop Wilder in the seventh round of their Las Vegas clash.
      Fury came into the fight with a new trainer in SugarHill Steward, after utilising Ben Davison in his corner for the first bout.
      Steward and Fury adopted an offensive game plan and came forward at Wilder throughout the fight, knocking him down in rounds three and five.
      Wilder’s assistant trainer Mark Breland eventually threw in the towel at the midway point of the seventh round, making Fury the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight champion.
      The Bronze Bomber would go on to make a slew of excuses for the loss, but one of them he later denied was that he suffered a burst eardrum.
      The Covid-19 pandemic delayed several attempts to get a trilogy rematch finalised.
      But this weekend, Wilder will finally get his chance at vengeance. More

      Donald Trump praised Tyson Fury beating Deontay Wilder with ‘very different’ body shape and was ‘shocked’ by fight

      FORMER PRESIDENT of the United States Donald Trump praised Tyson Fury for his win over rival Deontay Wilder, saying the Brit ‘shocked’ people.The 75-year-old was commentating on the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort last month.

      And the 75-year-old singled out ‘good fighter’ Fury for beating ‘perfect physical specimen’ Wilder.
      Trump said: “That was a fight where people were shocked, because you look at body type.
      “Deontay was like the most perfect physical specimen.
      “Fury went down, I thought he was out and all of a sudden he just jumped up.”
      Trump then gave his assessment of the second fight, calling it a ‘no contest’.
      He continued: “Then he fought him the second time and it was no contest.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “He’s a good fighter and he’s got a very different kind of a body…
      “Well he had a great win. He was given no chance. And body type, that’s not type for a fighter you don’t think.
      “But he was so loose, he’s really a good fighter. And he’s a big guy, tall, 6ft 8ins, 6ft 9ins.
      “He’s a very good fighter. Just different kind of a look, right?
      “His opponent looked so beautiful that night, but it didn’t work out. Fury’s a really good fighter.
      “The funny thing is Deontay was never even slightly wounded [in his previous fights], like 30-0 or something.
      “But he didn’t do well. It [the power] didn’t work against Fury.”
      The 45th President – who hosted Wilder at the White House during his time in office – had plans to invite Fury to the US capital after the rematch win, but the outbreak of the Coronavirus halted all plans.
      Fury and Wilder meet for the third and possibly final time in Las Vegas on Saturday with the WBC and The Ring magazine titles up for grabs.
      Wilder accused Fury of cheating his way to victory in the second fight, and has warned in the build-up to Saturday’s fight the Brit will do it again.
      Well he had a great win. He was given no chance. And body type, that’s not type for a fighter you don’t think.Donald Trump
      Fury says the claims are coming from an ‘unwell person’ and has vowed to ‘obliterate’ the American again.
      The 33-year-old fumed: “I don’t care, because it is coming from an unwell person.
      “He blamed me, his trainer, his costume, the referee, the commission, one [excuse] might have been believable but not 50.
      “It just tells me he is a mentally weak little person who I am going to beat again.
      “I obliterated him in the rematch and he is getting it again.”
      Whoever wins Saturday’s trilogy fight will face either Dillian Whyte or Otto Wallin, who fight later this month.
      A statement read: “The WBC Board of Governors has reviewed the recent history in the Heavyweight Division.
      “Considering the long inactivity in the division due to the pandemic, ongoing legal processes, and Covid-19 infections, the WBC has ruled that the winner of this fight will have 30 days to secure a contract to unify the Heavyweight Division against WBO-IBF-WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in search of an undisputed champion in the division.
      “If no unification bout is secured within that time, the winner of Fury vs Wilder 3 must then fight next against the then reigning WBC Interim Heavyweight Champion.”
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      Fury insists he’s focussed on beating Wilder first before looking at his next potential fight.
      Laser-focussed Fury said: “That’s something I’ve not been told or am even interested in right now.
      “I’ve got Deontay Wilder to deal with first and then we’ll sit down and make a decision on what’s next.”

      Kate Abdo hits back at Tyson Fury promoter’s ‘inappropriate’ rant after he raged ‘f*** her’ at Wilder press conference

      by

      TV presenter Kate Abdo has hit back at boxing promoter Bob Arum after he aimed a foul-mouthed tirade at her.The 89-year-old American was seething at what he believed was Abdo ‘favouring’ Deontay Wilder in a press conference with Tyson Fury.

      He then claimed to have ‘saved the fight’ by stepping in to stop the two heavyweight boxers having a face off – which Abdo appeared to introduce.
      Now Abdo has had her say in a length post she shared on Instagram.
      The 40-year-old Mancunian wrote: “‘With regards to the faceoff – I was doing what we the broadcaster believed was agreed upon. But I think that’s kind of unimportant now.
      “I have nothing but respect for Bob Arum and the empire he has created. I understand what he means to boxing and what this sport owes him.
      “I think the language in his interview was entirely inappropriate. 
      “Of course it’s disappointing to be disrespected by someone I respect But that’s life, not everyone will give you the courtesy you deserve.”

      According to Arum in his rant after the press conference, both Fox Sports and Abdo knew a face-off was never going to be part of the press conference.
      And he claimed Abdo was out of order for bringing it up.
      Arum even shouted out from the crowd “Not a good idea!” when Abdo raised the prospect.
      However she then quickly changed her mind – suggesting it was Arum’s intervention which prevented the face-off happening.
      F*** her and f*** them. There was no face-off and we saved the fightBob ArumTyson Fury’s Promoter
      That annoyed the promoter, who said: “They bring this woman in from the UK and she’s slanting all the press conference to Wilder.
      “Like I don’t give a damn, but it’s obvious what she was doing!
      “And then, she knew that the understanding was: no face-off. Tom Brown argued with Fox, no face-off.
      “We said, “No face-off”. What does she say? “Now we’re going to do a face-off?”
      “F*** her and f*** them. There was no face-off and we saved the fight.”
      Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Wilder in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning UK time.
      He claimed the iconic green strap after battering the American into a seventh-round stoppage in February 2020.

      And despite smashing Wilder to pieces the last time they met in February 2020, the Gypsy King has been urged to focus on the challenge in front of him.
      British boxing’s hopes of an undisputed title clash between Fury and Anthony Joshua went up in smoke when the latter was easily outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk on September 25.
      Now Warren wants his man to put that £200million disappointment behind him and get the job done against a determined Wilder in Las Vegas.
      Writing for Boxing Scene, the Hall of Fame promoter said: “Tyson cannot afford to allow himself to become distracted by the derailment of the Joshua gravy train and take his eye off the job in hand against an extremely motivated Deontay Wilder.
      “I can’t see Wilder being able to reinvent himself enough to trouble Tyson, but there will be no complacency in our corner.”
      Should Fury do what the bookies think he will and beat Wilder for a second time, there are some tasty-looking title defences on the horizon.

      Fellow Brits Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois have moved themselves into title contention, and of course there is the undisputed clash against former cruiserweight king Usyk.
      But Warren remains confident that Fury can continue to reign supreme in the heavyweight division.
      He added: “As I admired his performance and believe him to be a great fighter, I don’t see Usyk being a match for Tyson either.
      “The attributes Usyk possesses are shared by Tyson with interest, along with a size and speed advantage.
      “A fight between them is a natural one to make as we will now consider an alternative way forward, all things being well on October 9.”
      As for Joshua, I very much hope he can punch his way back into the pictureFrank WarrenTyson Fury’s Promoter
      Joshua, meanwhile, has told his team to thrash out terms for the rematch against Usyk.
      He will be hoping for revenge just like he achieved when he avenged his shock loss to Andr Ruiz Jr.
      And Warren is hoping AJ can get back to the big time and has refused to rule out the Fury clash ever happening.
      He added: “As for Joshua, I very much hope he can punch his way back into the picture and we get to deliver the all-British fights involving Tyson, Joe [Joyce] and Daniel [Dubois] while they are still ripe for the making.”

      Steward said: “It’s not going to be 300 pounds, it’s probably going to be like 290 or something but not 300 exactly.
      “Heavier than last time by 20 pounds or so, why not? The bigger the better, the heavier the stronger.
      “He’s training with that weight, he’s built up. It’s not like he’s just putting on fat, it’s building up muscles. The bigger the better, the heavier the stronger.”

      Fury exposed Wilder as a crude banger and an easy target to hit last time… expect him to pick up where he left off

      by

      TYSON FURY is expected to start where he left off and batter Deontay Wilder to another humiliating defeat — even if the American enters the ring stark naked.Wilder was stopped in the seventh round after his trainer, Mark Breland, threw in the towel — a merciful gesture that got him the sack — when they last met 20 months ago.

      The Bronze Bomber lost not only his WBC world heavyweight title, but also his unbeaten record and his credibility.
      His ludicrous excuse that his crushing loss was because he tired himself out under the 40lb weight of his bizarre Star Wars ring-walk costume belongs in the ‘dog ate my homework’ category.
      The simple truth is Fury exposed Wilder for what he was — an unskilled, crude banger who was an easy target to hit.
      Tyson was on fire and still fuming at being robbed when their first clash was considered a highly dubious draw 14 months before.
      At last, after two frustrating postponements, they come face to face in what could turn out to be a thrilling and titanic Trilogy in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. 
      If it’s as good as the two most famous heavyweight trilogies between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and Evander Holyfield v Riddick Bowe, fans who pay £24.95 to see it on TV in the early hours of Sunday won’t be able to claim they didn’t get value for money.

      If the Gypsy King can emphatically demolish Wilder as he did before, it could end Deontay’s career.
      But hanging in the air  is the thought that perhaps Wilder under new trainer Malik Scott — his one-time sparring partner — has managed to iron out many of his boxing imperfections so he can gain sweet revenge.
      Remarkably, Fury and Anthony Joshua between them  dominated the heavyweight division for six years.

      That is until Joshua’s abject failure against Oleksandr Usyk when he waved goodbye to the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, which may have killed off the £200million fight with Fury at Wembley  forever.
      Joshua seemed to have completely lost his  fighting spirit and like my local petrol pumps, his tactical ideas were running on empty. 
      And the way Joshua was laughing, joking and fist-pumping with his fans as he strode to his downfall made me think he was more suited to star  at The London Palladium than Madison Square Garden.
      Fury enjoys a bit of fun in the build-up to his fights but when it comes to working hours he’s all serious business.

      He knows any complacency or a single slip in concentration and his crown could be packed in Wilder’s luggage on its way  to Alabama.
      Deontay still carries dynamite in his right fist.
      Scott said proudly: “Deontay’s defence is impeccable right now. But one thing you can never change is his God-given power.”
