    (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 more offensive side of his game.
    What have they said?
    Tyson Fury has joked he will ‘cheat again’ with ‘horseshoes in his gloves’ in his trilogy fight against Wilder.
    The American accused the new WBC champ of having ‘loaded gloves’ days after he was battered into submission by the Gypsy King in their second bout.
    Wilder gave a whole host of excuses as to why he had lost – one was that his ring-walk outfit was ‘too heavy’ and another was a ludicrous accusation that his coach Mark Breland had ‘spiked his water’, something the well-respected Breland strenuously denies.
    Now Fury has joked that he will use ‘Peaky Blinders’ style tactics and load his gloves with ‘horseshoes and dynamite’.
    Speaking to MMA Hour after Wilder’s latest accusations, the 33-year-old said: “Do you know what, I’m gonna cheat again because I’m gonna smash his face in.
    “So, according to him that’s cheating because he’s not supposed to lose. But unfortunately I’m going to cheat again.
    “You ever watched Peaky Blinders? I loaded the gloves with horseshoes and dynamite.
    “This time I’m going to do exactly the same but I’m going to put a bit more metal in there.
    “With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff, I’ve cheated, I’ve done this, I’m a natural born cheater, his coach – I must have some power mustn’t I because I’ve even got his coach on my side!
    “And not to mention [trainer] Jay Deas, he’s on my payroll too.
    “I’m like Tommy Shelby here, I’ve got them all on the payroll. He’s on the payroll too, Jay Deas, because he was in the changing room while I was getting my gloves on the whole time.
    “So he must have helped me and Wilder’s in denial about that. But let me just put that out there as well.”
    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 with both fighters having 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 miraculously got up off the canvas in the final round, getting to his feet on the count of nine, before boxing well for the rest of the fight.
    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

    Deontay Wilder’s top five most brutal KO’s including moment Ortiz’s SOUL ‘left his body’ and thinking he’d KILLED rival

    DEONTAY WILDER can certainly lay claim to being the most destructive puncher in heavyweight history. With 41 knockouts in his 44 fights, where 42 have been won, the American powerhouse has a 93 per cent KO ratio.

    What Wilder, an Olympic bronze medallist, may lack in boxing fundamentals, he sure makes up for in explosiveness.
    And despite being outclassed by Tyson Fury in their rematch last year, the Bronze Bomber can never be counted out so long as he is standing.
    Ahead of his trilogy bout with Fury on Saturday night in Las Vegas, SunSport runs down five of Wilder’s most brutal KOs.
    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    Artur Szpilka, January 2016
    Wilder was making the third defence of the WBC title when he made an example out of Polish southpaw Szpilka.
    In round nine, a massive right hook sent the challenger in a heap on the floor, unconscious with his legs folded.
    Szpilka was immediately treated by ringside medical personnel and Wilder later revealed he feared he had KILLED his opponent.
    Wilder told WNSP-FM 105.5: “I thought he died for a couple of seconds. I really did. I didn’t see him moving or breathing.”

    Bermane Stiverne, November 2017
    Wilder had won the title from Stiverne in 2015, the only time he had gone to distance until that point.
    And after Luis Ortiz was withdrawn from their initial fight, Wilder was given the chance to rectify that when Stiverne filled in on late notice.
    The Canadian was three times floored within three minutes and the fight was stopped.
    The final knockdown saw Stiverne splattered against the ropes, after a four punch combination, on his knees and out for the count.

    Luis Ortiz 1, March 2018
    Cuban Ortiz handed Wilder his first real test, and scare, after picking himself up from the canvas and hurting the Bronze Bomber.
    Wilder escaped defeat by the skin of his teeth at the end of round seven but recovered to get the job done.
    Ortiz was dropped twice in the tenth with a brutal uppercut closing the show.
    It was the first time Wilder really had to battle back from adversity and prove he can carry his power into the later rounds.

    Dominic Breazeale, May 2019
    Wilder was in talks to fight Breazeale for years before it finally came to fruition and ended before it even began.
    A massive right hand in the first round rocked Breazeale’s head back and left him flat on his back.
    Wilder warned Fury the hatred he feels towards him is the same he felt towards Breazeale – and we know how that ended.
    He said: “Hate is a motivation to destroy, that’s what the devil does every day. I have never felt this way about any opponent before. Dominic Breazeale was the last one I disliked most.”

    Luis Ortiz 1, November 2019
    Wilder turned down a three-fight DAZN deal in 2019 with the view to fight Anthony Joshua, to instead stay loyal to Premier Boxing Champions.
    And he promised Ortiz a rematch after their close affair and managed to top his previous KO.
    Ortiz had won the majority of the seven rounds up until a right hand bounced off the top of his head and turned the lights off.
    It was so stunning, reporter Will Guillory tweeted: “Was that his soul leaving his body?”

    Speaking ahead of the fight, Wilder explained to the press how he’s going to reclaim the belt he emphatically lost to Fury in February 2020.
    The American 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 game plan but this time around It’s just a different feeling, you know, all the way around. Just all the surrounding 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.
    “Those that are in the area are going to feel the electricity that’s in there.”
    Responding to Wilder’s comments, Fury bullishly said: “I think you can go to college and get a masters degree in nearly two years.

    “So for a boxer to change his style it’s very easy to do, but no matter what Deontay Wilder does I’m still going to knock him the f*** out!”
    Wilder has vowed to end Britain’s heavyweight dominance with a stunning victory – but Fury insists he’s not letting his guard down.
    The Brit also believes he’s got a mental advantage over his rival, adding: “I’m living in Wilder’s mind rent-free the whole time, two years.
    “Every time he looks in the mirror he sees Tyson Fury. Every time he goes to bed, before closes his eyes at night, he sees the Gypsy King.
    “Every time he wakes up and thinks about in the morning he thinks of Tyson Fury.
    “Even when he goes to sleep at night with his missus he’s thinking of Tyson Fury. It’s crazy, it must be crazy to be obsessed with a man like me.”

    Deontay Wilder reveals there is NO rematch clause with Tyson Fury after trilogy fight despite record at 1-1-1 if he wins

    DEONTAY WILDER revealed there is NO rematch clause with Tyson Fury after their trilogy bout and warned: ‘This is it’. The pair initially drew in 2018 but Fury brilliantly won the rematch two years later in seven rounds.

    Their contracted trilogy bout faced months of delays and threatened to be cancelled before terms were dramatically agreed.
    Wilder, 35, will challenge for his former belt on Saturday night in Las Vegas, and promised it will be their third and final time in the ring together.
    He said: “This is it. This is to close the book of me and Fury. This is it.”
    Fury, 33, tried to walk away from the trilogy to instead fight Anthony Joshua, 31, for the undisputed crown.
    But Wilder’s successful arbitration secured his shot at redemption, pitting the heavyweights against each other once more.
    A win for the American would see him reclaim the WBC belt and leave their series all square at 1-1-1.

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    But Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel has doubted demand for a fourth instalment, and reckons it could be in Fury’s best interests, too.
    Finkel told SunSport: “At this point no. We’ll see what happens in the fight, but at this point no. 
    “And I would think, if my clairvoyance is correct, Fury won’t want any more part of him after this.”
    After AJ was denied the chance to fight Fury, he was instead ordered into a mandatory title defence against Oleksandr Usyk at the end of September.
    But disaster struck for superstar Joshua, who was connivingly bettered over 12 rounds by Usyk, 34.
    This is it. This is to close the book of me and Fury. This is it.Deontay Wilder
    Wilder has now set his sights on the unbeaten Ukrainian, while putting an end to British boxing’s heavyweight dominance.
    He said: “I like what Usyk is saying.
    “He predicted that I would knock Fury out, he said he had no doubt that he would knock Joshua out and after that he wanted to get straight to it because he’s older and he means business.
    “I feel that he’s an honourable man. I think he will stick to his word.
    “A lot of people get the belt and then start acting funny with it but with him, he is a warrior and I’m looking forward to it because the only way I will be able to retire is if I achieve, ‘One champion, one face, one name’.”

    KO king Deontay Wilder says he’s put all his trainers in hospital… but was beaten in punchbag challenge by LIGHTWEIGHT

    HEAVYWEIGHT Deontay Wilder once claimed to have put all his trainers in hospital – but is he really the hardest puncher in boxing?Testimonies suggest the Bronze Bomber, 35, has ridiculous power… yet he was beaten by a LIGHTWEIGHT in a 2019 punchbag challenge.

    And posted an impressive score of 939Credit: YouTube / PBC ON FOX
    Discussing his trainers in 2019, Wilder said: “Every last one of them, I’ve sent them to the hospital. This is no joking around. This is no faking.”
    Ex-heavyweight champ David Haye, meanwhile, has previously described Wilder as the ‘hardest puncher’ he’s sparred with.
    The Brit once said: “He’s got a very, very, very, hard right hand and it’s an equaliser… His punch power is 10 out of 10, that’s it.
    “I don’t know how else to say it. You know when you’ve been hit by him. It’s very different to anyone else.
    “He is the hardest puncher I’ve ever been in the ring with.”
    Wilder takes on Tyson Fury, 33, for a third time on Saturday night and has vowed to reclaim the WBC belt he lost in February 2020.

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    But the Gypsy King insists he’s not letting his guard down – and may take inspiration from Gervonta Davis’ upset two years ago.
    The lightweight champ – then a FEATHERWEIGHT – was tasked with beating Wilder’s score of 927 on an American TV show.
    Davis posted an incredible score of 939 before host Kate Abdo told viewers: “Nice, you are the leader. Deontay, I hope you’re watching.”
    Wilder’s score was with his left hand, though, and – in reality – few would deny he’s one of the most powerful heavyweights of his generation.
    Former Olympic champ Audley Harrison, who lost to Wilder in 2013, once said: “He almost had my eye out in sparring one day.
    “He caught me with this shot and it nearly detached my retina and suddenly I had to stop training for eight or nine days.”
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    And even Fury, who was floored by Wilder in their first fight three years ago, has confessed the American’s ridiculous power.
    He admitted in 2018: “Deontay Wilder is the most fiercest puncher in boxing history, in heavyweight division history.
    “And I saw that and I felt it. No wonder Anthony Joshua didn’t want no part of that right hand. He can’t move like me, he would have been nailed.
    “As easy as I got up [in the 12th], I may never have got up. That was the type of punch that sometimes people won’t wake up from.
    “Especially hitting me with a right hand and as I was going down he hit me with a left hook as well. So that should have been concrete, good night Vienna.
    “But the Gypsy King rose like a phoenix from the ashes off the canvas to rally back from the 12th and it was an epic round.”

    Deontay Wilder vows to end Britain’s heavyweight dominance with Tyson Fury win then KO Oleksandr Usyk to win all belts

    DEONTAY WILDER reckons he ends British boxing’s heavyweight dominance by beating Tyson Fury on Saturday and then chinning Oleksandr Usyk.The 34-year-old Ukraine ace snatched up all of AJ’s three world titles last month and is the red-hot favourite to win the rematch early next year.

    So Wilder wants to end WBC champ Tyson Fury’s career on Saturday and then nail down the sensational southpaw to become the first undisputed heavyweight king since Lennox Lewis.
    When asked if Usyk is top of his hitlist, the Bronze Bomber said: “Most definitely. I like what Usyk is saying.
    “He predicted that I would knock Fury out, he said he had no doubt that he would knock Joshua out and after that he wanted to get straight to it because he’s older and he means business.
    “I feel that he’s an honourable man. I think he will stick to his word.
    “A lot of people get the belt and then start acting funny with it but with him, he is a warrior and I’m looking forward to it because the only way I will be able to retire is if I achieve, ‘One champion, one face, one name’.
    “This is it. This is to close the book of me and Fury. This is it.”

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    Despite his ten world title defences over five brilliant years racking up highlight reel KOs, Wilder has never won over the American public.
    Fury, here all the way from Morecambe, feels like the home fighter but Wilder believes he will get the recognition he deserves by settling their trilogy.
    He said: “This is what the defining moment is all about.
    “I know I will get it at the end of my career, or sadly when I die but I will probably be 150 when I die but I want it right now. I don’t want the same old trend.
    “There ain’t enough trendsetters, there are too many trend followers. The thing has been that people always appreciate great fighters at the end or when they die and that needs to change.
    “In this sport there is no such thing as being cocky or overconfident because it takes a lot to get in that ring.
    “So respect those that step their legs over that ropes and they throw these hands.
    “You have to respect a man for doing that, for their bad accomplishments and their good accomplishments. Appreciation, all we look for is appreciation.”
    Wilder’s utterly terrifying one-punch power means he has almost never been the underdog since turning pro in 2008, just a few months after winning bronze at the Beijing Olympics.
    But the beat-down Fury handed him means he is the rank outsider for the T-Mobile Arena showdown and he claims he loves the odds.
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    Wilder barked: “I love being the underdog. A lot of fighters love being the underdog because when you’re the underdog you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to prove.
    “There is less pressure upon you. I love being in this position. God doesn’t make mistakes, he wants things to happen for a reason.
    “The Bible even tells you to lean not to your own understanding. That is what I’ve done. It’s been a great camp and I’m looking forward to October 9.”

    Fury vs Wilder 3 build-up LIVE: Latest news and updates as Gypsy King & Bronze Bomber make Vegas grand arrivals

    FIGHT week is finally here as Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder get ready to clash in a colossal Las Vegas trilogy fight. Fury knocked Wilder out in seven rounds last year to claim the WBC heavyweight title but the Bronze Bomber is hellbent on revenge.
    Both fighters are set to appear at their Vegas grand arrivals and Wednesday’s press conference before weighing in on Friday ahead of fight night.
    All the ring action will happen on Saturday night in the UK with the fight beginning in the early hours of Sunday morning, with the coverage on BT Sport Box Office.
    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    Follow ALL of the latest news and updates below…
    FIT OF FURY
    Tyson Fury has shared how he plans to stop Deontay Wilder when they meet in the ring on Saturday.
    The pair face each other for the third time in Las Vegas, and Fury’s sure Wilder won’t want to fight him again once he’s done with him.
    To make sure of it, Fury revealed he’ll drag the Bronze Bomber into a dogfight before giving him a hiding.
    He told Fox Sport Australia: “I’m going to take the fight to him and drag him into a dog fight and drown him into deep water.
    “That’s exactly what I’m going to do with him,
    “I’m expecting an inside-the-distance fight for sure, and definitely going to give him a good hiding and beat him up real bad. He will not want to fight me again after this; I’ll put it that way. There will be no fourth fight.”
    ‘GETTING CLOSER’
    Deontay Wilder has revealed that he is on the verge of retiring from boxing ahead of his trilogy fight against Tyson Fury this weekend.
    The Bronze Bomber is seeking to avenge his loss to Fury in Las Vegas when they meet for the third and final time.
    But it could be one of the last times fans get to see Wilder in action as he claims he plans to walk away from the sport really soon.
    There’s only one person Wilder wants to face in the ring before he calls it a day, although he didn’t say who the mystery opponent is.
    Speaking to Last Stand Podcast, Wilder said: “I can feel it getting close, retirement…I’m seeking one champion, one face, one name.
    “The faster I can get that, the faster I can retire and get the hell out of here.”
    ‘NOT 100%’
    Tyson Fury has claimed that he will not be in 100 percent condition for the trilogy clash against Deontay Wilder.
    Fury will go head to head with his foe for the third time in Las Vegas this weekend.
    However, the Gypsy King doesn’t feel his best going into the fight.
    But despite his doubts, Fury is relaxed and confident he can defeat his nemesis Wilder.
    He told Boxing Special: “I feel good, relaxed and confident as I always have been, I am never beaten up about a fight it is just a boxing match.
    “It has just been a normal training camp, there has been good days and bad days, no-one is ever 100% going into a fight, let’s put it that way, but I am going to bring action and ferocity on fight night and I will be ready.”
    TY-ME TO THINK
    Tyson Fury says he will be a ‘sad and lonely’ person when he ends his boxing career.
    The unbeaten 33-year-old will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas at the weekend.
    Talking to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Boxing podcast, Fury says he would have no regrets if he never fought again and said he is not motivated by the vast purses he can command.
    The Gypsy King said: “I’m not fighting to be the greatest of all time, I’m not fighting to be a legend.
    “It wouldn’t benefit me earning another £50m or £200m, you don’t need to be rich to live my life.
    “I’m just a normal person who is very good at boxing and a very special, chosen person.”
    NOT NAMING NAMES
    Tyson Fury has one of the meanest sounding names in world boxing today, and he’s also one of the best fighters in the sport.
    But Fury’s rivals Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte have called Fury ‘Luke’, with boxing fans now cottoning on to the mutual jibe.
    The heavyweight pair think Fury’s actual first name is Luke.
    However, Luke is actually Fury’s middle name, as listed on Companies House, Boxrec and Wikipedia.
    But Whyte is having none of it and recently told SunSport that Fury only calls himself Tyson to sound harder.

    TOMMY GUN
    Tyson Fury has urged brother Tommy to ‘get some balls and sign the f***ing contract’ to fight Jake Paul.
    The former Love Island star, 22, has already admitted rejecting two fight offers from the YouTuber.
    Tommy told Paul: “Get your figures up and then we can talk.”
    But big brother Tyson, 33, has told him and Paul to ‘get some balls’ and finally go toe-to-toe in the ring.
    When asked for his thoughts on the potential fight between the feuding youngsters, Fury told Behind The Gloves: “Hopefully it happens.
    “I hope they can both get some balls and sign the f***ing contract.
    “Make this fight happen and give the world the fight they want to see. I want to see it. Everybody wants to see this fight.”
    X BOX
    Tyson Fury has likened himself to X-Men’s Professor X, insisting rival Deontay Wilder’s mind games won’t work ahead of Saturday’s trilogy fight in Las Vegas.
    The Brit meets Wilder for the third and possibly final time at the T-Mobile Arena.
    Fury says he’s not bothered if his rival talks and says the mind games don’t work on him – likening himself to Marvel superhero Professor X, who could read and control the minds of others.
    He told Sky Sports: “I keep my own business to myself and I don’t really care what that big dosser does, nothing.
    “I don’t care what he does. If he talks or he doesn’t. It doesn’t make any difference to me.
    “Mind games don’t work with me anyway. I’m like Professor X without the wheels.”
    FURY CONTINUED
    “This time I’m going to do exactly the same but I’m going to put a bit more metal in there.
    “With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff, I’ve cheated, I’ve done this, I’m a natural born cheater, his coach – I must have some power mustn’t I because I’ve even got his coach on my side!
    “And not to mention [trainer] Jay Deas, he’s on my payroll too.
    “I’m like Tommy Shelby here, I’ve got them all on the payroll. He’s on the payroll too, Jay Deas, because he was in the changing room while I was getting my gloves on the whole time.
    “So he must have helped me and Wilder’s in denial about that. But let me just put that out there as well.”
    CHEEKY BLINDER
    Tyson Fury has joked he will ‘cheat again’ with ‘horseshoes in his gloves’ in his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder.
    The American accused the new WBC champ of having ‘loaded gloves’ days after he was battered into submission by the Gypsy King in their second bout.
    Speaking to MMA Hour after Wilder’s latest accusations, the 33-year-old said: “Do you know what, I’m gonna cheat again because I’m gonna smash his face in.
    “So, according to him that’s cheating because he’s not supposed to lose. But unfortunately I’m going to cheat again.”
    Then asked about whether he had ‘weights in his gloves’, Fury responded sarcastically: “Yeah I did. I had horseshoes in there, you know I’m a gypsy don’t you?
    “You ever watched Peaky Blinders? I loaded the gloves with horseshoes and dynamite.”

    SHOWTIME
    Tyson Fury is preparing to once again go to war with Deontay Wilder in a huge heavyweight trilogy this weekend in Las Vegas.
    Fans in the UK won’t be travelling like they did for the first fight due to Covid restrictions, but SunSport are on hand with all the details on how to tune in on time for the ring-walks.
    What time will the pair make their ring-walks?

    Fury vs Wilder 3 ring-walks are expected to get underway from 3am UK time on Sunday, October 10.
    With the walks set to be long and ring introductions and national anthems to be belted out, it’s likely the fight gets going closer to 3.30am.
    Timings are subject to change and will depend on how long the undercard lasts.

    WILD MESSAGE
    Deontay Wilder has issued a harrowing message to Tyson Fury ahead of their trilogy fight on Saturday.
    Wilder said: “My mind is very violent. We built a whole facility to commit a legal homicide and that’s just what it is, my mind is very violent at this time.
    “I can’t wait, when you’re contemplating and pre-meditating about harming a man and you see that person, what you’ve been thinking and feeling will come out.
    “The only thing about it is, at that point in time, I have to wait until I get in the ring to really release because I can’t do it on the outside, it’d defeat the purpose.
    “The baby’s got to eat, but when I do get in the ring, this is what I love about it, I’m able to release everything I’ve been feeling, everything I’ve been thinking, and get paid to do it.”
    COULD GET TY-RED
    Tyson Fury delayed his second coronavirus vaccine to prevent feeling ‘weak’ for his Deontay Wilder fight.
    That is despite testing positive for Covid-19 twice.
    Speaking to the Daily Mail, Fury revealed the vaccine postponement was ‘because I don’t want to get in the ring feeling weak or anything’.
    He said: “I have to do it myself because my nose has been broken so often in fights that no one else can manoeuvre the stick in there.
    “We also keep the bubble secure by having the gym under lock and key with nobody else allowed in while we’re there.
    “I’ve actually had Covid not once but twice.”
    GO WILD, DEONTAY
    Heavweight rivals Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield both want to see Deontay Wilder be aggressive in his rematch with Tyson Fury.
    As quoted by the Manchester Evening News, Tyson said: “I like Wilder but is he going in there to win or is he going in there for a big pay day?
    “They should go all out for five or six rounds. If you catch him, you catch him. Go all out, win or lose.”
    Holyfield added: “In all these things you work on in being the very best. Is he getting it to the point where he can remember to do them as a natural thing?
    “The worst thing you can do for a fighter is let somebody new come in and giving him something new to do. They take it all of a sudden you start thinking too much.”
    FUR-OUGH THE AGES
    Tyson Fury’s shorts have got smaller and smaller the bigger the Gypsy King has become in boxing.
    The Brit started his career wearing giant boxing shorts that fell way past his knees.
    But the Brit has revealed more and more leg the closer he’s got to becoming unified world champion.
    Fury has even taken to training in his pants too!

    WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE
    Tyson Fury has revealed he works hard to keep himself hydrated in the desert heat as he prepares for the Las Vegas fight.
    The Gyspy King has admitted that he drinks a GALLON of water a day.
    He said: “Well over a gallon a day.
    “Hydration is a vital key to performance. Your body is 75 per cent water. And I’ve got a big body. Must keep watering.
    “One per cent dehydration equals a 20 per cent drop in performance. It is hard to drink this much. You have to keep running to relieve yourself.”
    FURY CONTUNUED
    “He’s got a new trainer and he wants to get better.
    “But while he will also have the biggest punch in the world, I can’t really see how he can make a big difference to his basic boxing.
    “I hope he’s better. I hope he can give me a bigger challenge because we don’t want another beat down.
    “I love boxing and we all want good fights. Anyway, if we’ve both improved then the outcome should be the same.
    “Me breaking him down and smashing him to bits again. Only quicker.”
    FAST AND FURYOUS
    Tyson Fury insists that he is ’30 to 40 per cent’ better than when he beat Deontay Wilder in February last year.
    He told the Mail: “Deontay will find himself up against a Tyson Fury who is 30 to 40 cent better than the Tyson Fury who steamrolled him in the last fight.
    “I haven’t wasted our 20 months out of the ring. I’ve worked non-stop to improve my boxing, my footwork, my jab. Everything.
    “I’ve been an elite fighter for years but I’ve used the break to move up to an even higher echelon.
    “I’m sure Deontay’s been trying hard to improve, too.”
    WARR MACHINE
    Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren claims Anthony Joshua will LOSE his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
    Warren wrote in Boxing Scene: “I cannot actually imagine a rematch turning out much differently.
    “I cannot see Usyk jumping on the party circuit and turning up horrendously out of condition. Fortune has very much favoured Joshua since he turned pro.
    “The British public craved a heavyweight hero and got behind him in their droves, backing him to the absolute hilt and invested fortunes in ticket and pay-per-view fees.
    “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.”
    UK BOUND
    Tyson Fury’s next fight will most likely be in the UK, his promoter Frank Warren predicts.
    Warren reckons all the top heavyweights in boxing including Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, are from Britain and not the USA.
    Minus Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, who beat Joshua to become heavyweight champion last week, but Warren thinks even if Fury fights him it will be held in the UK.
    Speaking to BBC Sport about the Gypsy King, who hasn’t fought on home-soil since 2018, Warren said: “Here’s no Yanks out there for him to fight. I think he’ll be back here which will be a great homecoming.
    “If Tyson wins the fight we’ll sit down. There’s a few options there. Usyk would be a massive fight here. The Joshua fight is still a massive fight.
    “Dillian Whyte is a big fight, providing he beats Otto Wallin [30 October] which isn’t a forgone conclusion. There’s some big fights for him.”
    DANGEROUS DEONTAY
    Tyson Fury has labelled his foe Deontay Wilder as the most dangerous boxer in the game ahead of their trilogy bout this weekend.
    Wilder’s ferocious streak is a worry for Fury who refuses to write off his opponent, although many other people have.
    But the Gypsy King is aware of the threat Wilder poses and won’t take him lightly in the ring.
    He told the BBC: “A lot of people are writing Wilder off in this fight. They almost look at him like he’s a bum.
    “Like he can’t fight and he’s useless. You can’t write him off.
    “Make no mistake about this, Deontay Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight out there. Combine them all together and they don’t make a danger like Wilder.
    “So that’s what I’m messing with. I’m playing with an atomic bomb, messing round, clipping wires.
    “Every time you go into the ring with Deontay Wilder you’re playing with that danger.”
    WILD CLAIM
    Deontay Wilder claims Tyson Fury didn’t knock him out the last time they faced each other in the ring.
    Instead, Wilder labels Fury’s victory a ‘stoppage’ because his ex-trainer former trainer Mark Breland made a ‘weak’ decision to stop the fight.
    The Bronze Bomber reckons even at his worst, and Fury at his best, the Gypsy King still wouldn’t be able to lay him flat out on the canvas.
    He said to BT Sport, Via BoxingNews24: “Even on my worst night and his best night, he still couldn’t get me out of there. 
    “People try to label it as a knockout, but that’s not a knockout.
    “That’s a stoppage because of a weak individual in my team [who threw the towel in.”

    BID-EN TIME
    Tyson Fury has been applying pressure on US president Joe Biden to let Brits to travel to the US for his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder.
    Fury will fight Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this weekend.
    But US travel restrictions aren’t are set to be relaxed until November, leaving thousands of Brits facing the prospect of missing the heavyweight clash.
    However, the Gypsy King is hoping Biden will make a last-minute exception to allow his fellow country-men to support him at ringside.
    Speaking to the Mail, Fury said: “I’ve still got my fingers crossed that at the last minute President Biden will open the borders to my supporters.
    “I’ve been putting the pressure on for the Brits to be allowed to invade Las Vegas again and make it like my second fight with Wilder.
    “The fans also love travelling abroad. They are gagging to come here. They will flock over even if they just get a three-day pass which would let them fly over this Friday, lap up the fight Saturday night, and go home Sunday.”

    DILL WITH IT 
    Dillian Whyte may finally be set for his first ever world heavyweight title shot after the trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
    Whyte, 33, is taking on Sweden’s Otto Wallin on October 30 as he looks for a 13th win from his last 14 fights.
    Speaking to iFL TV, Fury’s promoter Bob Arum said: “I haven’t spoken to [WBC President] Mauricio [Sulaiman] yet, we will have to see [what they rule on Fury’s mandatory].
    “I assume you are talking about Dillian Whyte, who is the number one contender.
    “And that could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in UK.
    “That is not out of the question, Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight and a fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder [or] whoever wins would be a very interesting fight.”

    TYSON FURY is keeping his tackle in his pants for his must-win trilogy with rock-hard Deontay Wilder.The 33-year-old WBC heavyweight king already has six children with beautiful wife Paris and made wild claims about pleasuring himself seven-times-a-day before the February 2020 masterclass over the American.

    But, back in Sin City, the Las Vegas sensation insists his punch-perfect pecker is not allowed out to play on the iconic strip
    “My d*** will be in my pants,” the Gypsy King laughed. “It’s in there more or less full-time anyway but it might be coming out after the fight.
    “I don’t believe in sex before a training camp, I am an old school fighter and I like to keep nice and strong, keep it all in the tank and then take it all out on the night,
    “I’m not relieving myself once a week – let alone once or seven times a day.
    “I don’t even remember when I had my last w***!”
    Fury’s money shot should have been the £200million undisputed showdown with Anthony Joshua, the Saudi-funded biggest fight in British boxing history.

    But AJ, 31, lost his mandatory defence to exquisite Ukraine southpaw Oleksandr Usyk last month, blowing the dream bout to pieces.
    And, despite being effusive with praise for the Watford ace and supporting his latest comeback, the champ is clearly fuming his compatriot ballsed up.
    “It’s not just one loss, he’s now been knocked out and he’s been beaten on points,” Fury recalled of his 2019 KO loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.
    “All these fights, they’re all big fights. If I fight you in a pay-per-view fight, people are still going to want to see what the Gypsy King is going to do. It’s the Tyson Fury roadshow. Always has been, always will be.
    “I’ve no interest in other people. I’ve no interest in Joshua’s, anyone out there in the division I don’t care about. You know why? Because I’ve got Deontay Wilder to care about.
    “Since I beat Deontay Wilder, he’s been a bum and it’s ‘Oh he’s s***, Deontay Wilder is a bum, he was never any good, he can’t box, cliche s***e’. Same with Klitschko.
    “Before I beat Klitschko he was one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, after I beat him he was just another bum and it was, ‘Oh he was crap, he was too old’. I don’t make those mistakes.
    “I don’t underestimate anybody. Especially not someone like him. He has got a point to prove. Out of all the fights I’ve ever had, this is the one I want to win the most. This one.”
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    I don’t want to challenge him when he’s at his lowest and stick a few more knives in him and make him feel even worse.Tyson FuryOn Anthony Joshua
    In the bowels of Tottenham stadium on the morning after his unanimous points loss to the former undisputed cruiserweight king, AJ snapped up a rematch.
    But the Brit icon also pitched the fight with Fury, despite his dramatic loss of the WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.
    But the undefeated Morecambe sensation has not heard anything serious from Team AJ and doesn’t want to boot him while he’s at rock bottom.
    “I’ve not heard anything from anybody becauseI keep my own business to myself,” he said.
    “But let’s just say, if it was me who lost to a cruiserweight then they would have been kicking me in the bollocks left, right and centre. Tell the truth.
    “Every man here knows that I’d have been written off. It doesn’t really annoy me because I’m not a follower.
    “I don’t like to kick a man when he is down, I want to kick a man when he is flying in the sky and everything is rolling for him. Then I want to challenge him.
    “I don’t want to challenge him when he’s at his lowest and stick a few more knives in him and make him feel even worse. I’ve got nothing bad to say about Joshua.
    “His business is his business. He had to take care of it and he couldn’t and that’s his problem. In this game, landscapes change all the time.
    “Wladimir Klitschko was supposed to be an easy victory against me, just a picked bum basically.
    “You can’t help what happens in boxing. You have some fights, you win some and you lose some. That is all it is. There is always going to be someone out there better than you on the night. That’s a fact.”
