LOS ANGELES (Novembre 5, 2018) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury che si terrà Sabato, Dicembre 1 su SHOWTIME PPV® da STAPLES Center di Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilder arrived in Los Angeles, along with trainer Jay Deas, to show off his skills in front of media at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica. The most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in more than 15 anni, Wilder vs. Fury tests the raw power of the 6-foot-7 Wilder against the unmatched size and mobility of the 6-foot-9 Fury.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da BombZquad Enterprises e Queensberry Promotions, in associazione con DiBella Entertainment e TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita. I prezzi dei biglietti partono da $75, plus applicable fees and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Here is what Wilder and Deas had to say Thursday at media day, where Wilder was joined by his girlfriend Telli Swift and their eight-month-old daughter Kaorii:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

I feel like I’m at my very best right now. Mentalmente, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Tutto è perfetto. I just want to get in the ring and show action. Tyson Fury doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into.

 

 

 

As a true champion, I know how to adjust to any fighter that’s in front of me. My experience facing fighters of all styles has prepared me for this special fight.

 

 

 

I’ve had tremendous sparring. Every day I’m making adjustments and getting myself right so I can get my timing and style exactly how it needs to be. If the fight was this weekend, Deontay Wilder is ready to go.

 

 

 

Luis Ortiz was the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division and I understand why he had never gotten the title shot before. I’m the type of fighter who gives people opportunities and he was the fighter I needed to face to prove to the world what I’m all about.

 

 

 

This is not a game for me. Everyone has heard about what it’s like to be in the ring with me, but until you’re in there, you don’t know for sure that what you’ve been hearing is for real. I’m the best in the world. I don’t think any heavyweight has been through what I’ve been through.

 

 

 

I’m training for a certain type of mission. As a fighter I have to have the mindset that I must be ready for anything. Poi, once it’s time for the bell to ring, I become ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

 

 

 

Fury has height just like me and he also brings an awkward style like myself. He’s rangy, mobile and he believes he’s the best in the world. You’ll get two giants who are athletic and move around the ring like no one else in this sport.

 

 

 

They say that I have the power and he has the boxing skills. We’ll see on December 1. It’s a puncher versus a boxer. I think the puncher is going to box his lights out, and then I’m going to knock his lights out.

 

 

 

I don’t watch too much film or study guys past getting their style down and seeing how they use their styles. My trainers watch film and use that knowledge to give me advice throughout the fight. I find that my opponents fight differently depending on who they’re facing, so I can’t dwell too much on watching past fights.

 

JAY bello, Trainer di Wilder

 

 

 

Tyson Fury is kind of like a Rubik’s cube. But a Rubik’s cube can be solved. Fury is a very versatile fighter who can move, he can box and fight from lots of distances. He’s the total package as a fighter and on top of that he’s strong-willed mentally.

 

 

 

We have our hands full, but I know that Deontay Wilder is the guy to handle Tyson Fury. Deontay is the the right guy to take over boxing and this is the first step in that.

 

 

 

Deontay has had a fantastic camp and we’ve had really good sparring partners. Fury is a tall fighter, but it’s really the athleticism that makes him what he is. We believe we’re better off finding more athletic guys who are slightly shorter than Fury, rather than someone his height who is a statue.

 

 

 

Fortunately Deontay has always been a focused fighter, so keeping him right mentally I don’t think will ever be a problem. Deontay can handle any chaos around him better than anyone I’ve seen. When he says he’s the man for this job, he really means it.

 

 

 

The tough thing with preparing for Tyson Fury is that even he doesn’t know exactly what he’s going to do in there. He can fight lefty, righty, dirty or clean. We’re working on being prepared for all of these things and more.

 

 

 

Both guys are very athletic and very awkward style-wise, but once this fight combusts, it’s going to be phenomenal. You don’t want to blink or go to the bathroom, the pretzel can wait, because you’re going to want to catch every second of it.

TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

 

Lineal Heavyweight Champion opens up ahead of his fight against Deontay Wilder December 1 su SHOWTIME PPV®.

If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

Catch the full interview: https://s.sho.com/2OmqAAq

CHE COSA: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® annunciatore Mauro Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder in diretta su Showtime PPV®.

 

 

Furia, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Wladimir Klitschko, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 libbre. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,” Fury said. "[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 SHOWTIME PPV vivere da STAPLES Center di Los Angeles (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT). Wilder, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

TYSON FURY LOS ANGELES MEDIA DAY QUOTES & FOTO

Lineal Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury Battles WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Saturday, Dicembre 1 On SHOWTIME PPV® From STAPLES Center in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (Ottobre 25, 2018) – Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury hosted a Los Angeles media day Thursday at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica as he prepares to take on WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sabato, Dicembre 1 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Furia, who is training in Big Bear, arrived nearby by helicopter for the media workout to discuss the showdown with Wilder before jumping into the ring to show off the skills that made him an IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da BombZquad Enterprises e Queensberry Promotions, in associazione con DiBella Entertainment e TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita. I prezzi dei biglietti partono da $75, plus applicable fees and are available viaAXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Fury was working out in shorts from Oddball, a company that donates all of its proceeds to research to fight testicular cancer, a cause Fury has championed. Here is what Fury and his trainer, Ben Davison, had to say Thursday from Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica:

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

This is an important fight for boxing, because it’s two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line.

 

 

 

It’s a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand, and make him worry about defending my punches.

 

 

 

I already became a unified champion; I’ve crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I’m back and I’m here for good.

 

 

 

I’m back to reclaim my throne. Even though I’ve had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight.

 

 

 

I’m used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear.

 

 

 

There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It’s perfect. There’s nothing but a few bears and rattle snakes. That’s it as far as distractions.

 

 

 

I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he’s going to have me ready for the challenge.

 

 

 

I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause.

 

BEN DAVISON, Fury’s Trainer

 

 

 

I have a great sense of Tyson Fury and can feel what he needs when he wakes up each day and walks into the gym. Our relationship has really gelled these last 12 mesi.

 

 

 

It’s going to be an action-packed fight that’s for sure. Both men are violent freaks of nature to be honest with you. It’s going to be an epic battle.

 

 

 

I think physically alone you can see how far Tyson Fury has come. That takes a lot of willpower and dedication. He’s put a lot of work in just physically, and that’s really just a slice of what he’s shown in the gym.

 

 

 

All heavyweights can punch, if any one of them hit you on the chin, you’re going to have problems. It’s not the power of Wilder that we’re focusing on, it’s the agility, speed and awkwardness that he brings. We’re studying his habits and watching every little thing that he does in the ring.

 

 

 

It takes fights like these to bring the best out of Tyson Fury. He’s a fighter who raises his game to what’s in front of him.

Ennis returns to ShoBox for his second consecutive fight following a statement third-round knockout of then-unbeaten welterweight prospect Armando Alvarez in July. Making a name for himself in Philadelphia with his power and come-forward mentality, Ennis has scored 11 consecutive KO victories including two at 2300 Arena. A standout amateur who was ranked No. 1 a 141 pounds and won the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament, Ennis narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. nel 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

Serrano is just another opponent on my way to my ultimate goala world championship,” said Ennis. “I am focused and I’m just going to keep working hard until I am able to accomplish that main goal. I can’t wait to display my talent once again on ShoBox.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah, both ShoBox veterans.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Serrano turned professional in 2007 and rattled off 18 consecutive wins to start his career. Serrano, who will appear on ShoBox for the first time since his 2013 meeting with Emmanuel Taylor, will face his third consecutive unbeaten opponent after a No Contest against Gerome Quigley Jr. and a unanimous decision loss to 22-year-old welterweight prospect Malik Hawkins. Serrano, also from Philadelphia, had an impressive amateur career, winning the national and international Junior Olympic tournaments in 2005 and the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves in 2006.

 

 

 

“Sono eccitato – this is Philly vs. Philly,” Detto Serrano. “We are two of the best welterweights going at it. I believe my experience with my new trainer Shadeed Saluki will help me in this fight and I do not think he has been in the ring with anyone like me. I am excited to be on ShoBox because the world will see my talents. With a win, this will lead me to even bigger fights.

 

 

 

Sims, a Chicago native, returns to ShoBox after his action-packed split-draw with unbeaten prospect Montana Love in July. Sims suffered the first and only loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision on ShoBox a year prior but got back to his winning ways with a unanimous decision over Andrew Rodgers on October 13. The 24-year-old, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, è stato un 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“Sono pronto a combattere,” said Sims. “I just fought on October 13 and got right back in the gym, so I am already in good shape. Teah is a good fighter but he is nothing special and certainly nothing that I haven’t seen before. I am happy to be back on ShoBox. I know they liked my last fight because it showed that I am only getting better and better every fight.

 

 

 

Sì, nato in Liberia e combattendo a Filadelfia, has had mixed luck on ShoBox. A two-fight veteran of the developmental series, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster in 2015 but dropped a majority decision to Montana Love in February, an opponent who Sims Jr. drew with. Sì, che non ha iniziato a boxare fino all'età di 19, scored an impressive first-round knockout of Zach Ramsey his last time out in August at 2300 Arena.

 

 

 

I will be ready to fight come November 16,said Teah. “I have seen Kenneth Sims fight. He is fast and was a good amateur. He just fought a draw against the last fighter who beat me, Montana Amore. I am excited about fighting him and I am also excited to be on ShoBox. I always face a higher level of opposition when I am on and ShoBox is always a great showcase.

 

 

 

The aggressive, come-forward Khegai made his U.S. debut at the 2300 Arena on ShoBox in May, registering the most impressive result of his career with a unanimous decision over Adam Lopez. The undefeated Khegai, who is a former Ukraine national amateur champion and two-time world champion in Thai boxing, made the switch to professional boxing in 2015 and has since compiled a near-perfect record while competing mostly in Russia. Born to Korean parents in Lymanske, Ucraina, the all-action Khegai will make his second ShoBox appearance in search of another statement win.

 

 

 

I am excited to be fighting in the U.S. su Showtime,” said Khegai. “I look forward to putting on a memorable performance and cementing myself as a top name in the division. Novembre 16 non può venire abbastanza presto!”

 

 

 

Jorge Diaz Jr., from New Brunswick, New Jersey, is coming off a significant victory over then once-beaten Adam Lopez, an opponent Khegai also beat via decision. The 31-year-old Diaz, who last fought in November 2017, also boasts impressive victories over Olympic gold-medalist Yan Barthelemy and former title challengers Alejandro Lopez and Emmanuel Lucero. Diaz’s five professional losses have come against opponents that hold a combined record of 88-1-4.

 

 

 

I feel very confident,” detto Diaz. “My opponent is a good fighter, who is strong, aggressivo, and throws sharp punches but I will be in tip-top shape. Questa è una battaglia molto importante per me. I have this great opportunity, so I will be dedicated and will give my best effort.

 

 

 

Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer is Gordon Hall with Chuck McKean producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Di seguito sono riportate citazioni flash dall'evento di oggi al The Novo di Microsoft a Los Angeles. In diretta:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

"Ho combattuto uno dei migliori e penso di combattere il prossimo migliore in linea nella divisione dei pesi massimi, e penso che sia un duro. La cosa su Tyson, è mentalmente forte. È il re degli zingari e sai cosa dicono degli zingari; sono persone in viaggio e sono persone senza paura. Ed è per questo che è l'avversario perfetto per questa situazione, per questa occasione di riportare la divisione dei pesi massimi. Quindi quando lo butto fuori posso dire di aver messo fuori combattimento qualcuno che era senza paura.

 

 

 

"È fantastico per la divisione dei pesi massimi. È carismatico, lui può parlare, Ho un ottimo compagno di ballo. È senza paura sul ring e ha un background di boxe nel sangue; prende il nome da Mike Tyson e tutto ciò è fantastico. È positivo che provenga da un altro paese, quindi puoi vedere culture diverse, personalità diverse da noi due. Ne hai uno dall'America e ne hai uno dalla Gran Bretagna. Quindi questo renderà ancora più piacevole per me quando lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Tutto questo si aggiunge. Questo è eccitante per me e non vedo l'ora di tornare a Los Angeles. Quello che sto dicendo è che lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Sai cosa vengo a fare e sai cosa vengo a fare a dicembre 1. Quando vieni a vedere i combattimenti, vieni a vedere qualcuno che viene messo fuori combattimento. Non verrai a vedere i combattimenti di 12 round. So che verrai a vedere alcune abilità, ma verrai a vedere il corpo di quest'uomo sulla tela ed è quello che ti consegnerò.

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

"Non c'è un uomo nato da sua madre di cui Tyson Fury abbia paura, e soprattutto non un uomo che indossa le trecce tutti i giorni. Non temo nulla di lui; Non temo nulla che possa fare.

 

 

 

“È una lotta. Possiamo fare tutte queste cose sul palco, Posso camminare da queste parti e parlare bene come qualsiasi uomo del paese. Ma quando si tratta di litigare, sarà una lotta infernale. Deontay Wilder: pugno massiccio. Me: abile pugile. Sarà una notte epica. Questa è una lotta legata all'eredità e credo che sia vero. E dopo che ho vinto, mi assumerà come suo addetto stampa perché credo di poter promuovere Deontay Wilder di nuovo ad essere campione del mondo dei pesi massimi in pochissimo tempo. Ma non c'è da vergognarsi a perdere contro di me perché sono il più grande pugile della mia generazione e non posso essere battuto, soprattutto non da lui.

 

 

 

“Ce ne sono stati molti, molti combattenti prima come Deontay Wilder, ma non c'è mai stato un Tyson Fury prima nella storia della boxe. Lo so perché ho studiato il gioco a fondo.

 

 

 

"Sto dando [Wilder] l'opportunità di combattere The Gypsy King. Ho il diritto al trono che risale a anni e anni fa, quindi gli sto dando l'opportunità di diventare qualcosa.

 

 

 

"Solo nei sogni Deontay Wilder mette fuori combattimento Tyson Fury. Solo nei suoi sogni

 

 

 

"Deontay Wilder ha bisogno di Tyson Fury ma Tyson Fury non ha bisogno di Deontay Wilder. Ho scelto Deontay Wilder come vittima facile. Questa sarà la battaglia più facile della mia carriera".

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

 

“Sarà una grande battaglia. Ultimamente, Ho visto Tyson Fury cantare la canzone, "C'è solo un Tyson Fury". Penso che l'abbia rubato a Ricky Hatton e tu hai visto cosa gli è successo. Penso che questa tendenza continuerà".

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

 

“Penso che Tyson sia uno dei migliori, è sicuramente uno dei pesi massimi più colorati che sia uscito dalla Gran Bretagna. Le sue abilità sono sublimi, lui fa l'impossibile. È andato in Germania, ha portato Klitschko a scuola; un buon Klitschko. Ha combattuto il ragazzo e come ha detto, lui è il campione assoluto. Ama le sfide ed è un viaggiatore. Ecco perché viene nel cortile di Deontay. Sta arrivando negli States, sta combattendo uno dei pesi massimi più esplosivi degli ultimi anni, un ragazzo che può dare un pugno. Penso che gli stili facciano combattere, e tutti dicono che Tyson correrà e Deontay gli verrà dietro. Non credo che succederà; Penso la notte, vedrai Tyson mantenere la sua posizione e vedrai avere dei fuochi d'artificio seri.

 

 

 

"Questa è una grande lotta, è una lotta per i fan, è fantastico essere qui a Los Angeles. per fare questa lotta. È fantastico che siamo in America per portare un altro inglese qui per riprendersi la cintura.

 

 

 

“Questo è il meglio combattere i migliori; i due migliori pesi massimi al mondo che si sono fatti avanti e hanno combattuto in quel modo.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

 

“Abbiamo un evento molto speciale. Cosa lo rende così speciale? Chiaramente, è una grande lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi, ma c'è un diverso tipo di mistica e ronzio per una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi. Abbiamo una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi tra due atleti d'élite. Abbiamo il pugile più duro del pugilato contro uno dei pugili più abili dello sport, sicuramente nella divisione dei pesi massimi. È un affascinante incontro di stili. Abbiamo due grandi personalità e i due combattenti più alti nella divisione dei pesi massimi.

 

 

 

“In una città di grandi eventi, abbiamo il più grande degli eventi. L.A. ha sicuramente avuto la sua parte di grandi combattimenti - Henry Armstrong, Arte aragonese, Bobby Chacon, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley – hanno combattuto tutti qui. e LA. ha persino ospitato la sua parte di combattimenti dei pesi massimi. Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson ha combattuto qui, Anche Muhammad Ali ha combattuto qui. Ma in termini di importanti combattimenti per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles, la lista è molto corta. Ci sono stati tre combattimenti contro Vitali Klitschko. Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders e Lennnox Lewis. Questo è tutto. Quattro combattenti hanno combattuto per il titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles nella sua storia. Questo è un evento raro a Los Angeles. Non da 2009 abbiamo visto un evento per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles?. e in una città di eventi da non perdere, questo è l'apice. C'è più del titolo WBC in gioco, più che orgoglio, si tratta di eredità e storia”.

Below are flash quotes from today’s event at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York:

Deontay Wilder

 

 

“This fight means everything to the heavyweight division. This division was once in a dark place. A lot of people considered the division boring and not entertaining and not enough great fighters. Sai, people always look back at the past and say, ‘Where are the golden days? Where has it gone?’ And now today’s era is different… We’ve brought the sport back to life in the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“We all know with me it comes with power and with knockouts. And that’s what I do. I get you guys motivated and I get you guys inspired to come and see a heavyweight fight. Because what you guys come to see in a heavyweight fight is a knockout. And I deliver that each and every time. Like I’ve said before, when I say I promise you, I promise you I’m going to knock out the Gypsy King, anche. TIMBERRRRRR!"

 

 

 

“I’m the one who brought him back. I’m the one who encouraged him when he was in that dark place. Gli ho detto, ‘You can do it.’ I dared him to come back. I dared him for this very moment. I want him to have confidence. I want him to have energy. As you can see, that’s nerves. That’s all nerves. Because he knows what’s going to happen. He knows his face is going to get smashed in. And he knows his body will be on the pavement. Let him burn out this energy. It’s entertaining. Because when we get in the ring he’s gonna be all by himself and his demeanor will change. His mannerisms are going to change. He’s so nervous right now. He don’t know what do to with himself.

 

 

 

“Don’t give people false promises. I was born off of false promises and got nothing for free. I promise I’m going to knock you out. I speak it, believe and receive it and it’s mine. I don’t have to show so much energy, bambino."

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

“Even Deontay Wilder knows to sit in the presence of greatness. Why I am going to beat this bum is because he can’t box. He’s a big swinger and he’s knocked a few bums out. He’s been in 40 combatte e si 35 of them have been against total tomato cans who can’t fight back. So really he’s only had five fights. If he thinks a five-fight novice is going to land one of those big swinging windmills onto my chin, then he can think again. After he feels a bit of power and a few stiff jabs in the face his ass is going to fall out. This is what’s going to happen: At about round five or six I’m going to start landing the overhand right and going downstairs to the body. And then around eight, nine 10, the championship rounds then it’s welcome to my world. He’s only been 12 rounds once in his career, and I’ve been 12 rounds championship distance many, many times.

 

 

 

“I’m very experienced and I’ve come back against all odds. I’m here today having beaten so many, many problems. How am I going to let this little spaghetti noodle beat me? How am I going to do that? They don’t call me the Gypsy King for nothing. I didn’t come to New York and Los Angeles and all these press conferences to be embarrassed by this little skinny runt. I’m going to knock him spark out.

 

 

 

“I’m a big, fat, bearded man who can fight like hell. You don’t need to see this fat. We all know I’m the master of disaster. We all know I have a fat stomach. But it’s going to look even worse for you when you get beaten by a fat man.

 

 

 

“I don’t want the Deontay Wilder belt. I want the Tyson Fury belt. I want the limited edition WBC belt. There’s only one Tyson Fury!

 

 

 

“You are on a suicide mission. You know I’m a CRAZY man. I’m gonna make this bum quit. I’m going to make him quit. I’m going to show him what’s it’s like to fight a real man. A real world champion. Does he even know they don’t just give lineal champion belts away? This man has never beaten a world champion. He fought some bum [Bermane] Stiverne that no one’s ever heard of.

 

 

 

“You already know you’ve lost the fight. You’re very nervous right now because all the pressure is on you.”

 

LOU DiBella

 

 

“On Dec. 1 on the floor of the Staples Center it’s going to be bombs away. You’re going to get to see the Power, and the Fury when the undefeated, hardest punching and most feared heavyweight of the world, the WBC champion, the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder faces the fearless Gypsy King, the undefeated linear heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

“There’s no magic to making a fight of this magnitude. All it takes is for each champion to want to fight. A dicembre 1 two of the three best heavyweights in the world are fighting each other, and the winner can walk away saying, ‘I AM the man!’ Until proven otherwise. That’s what this is all about. As the heavyweights go, so goes boxing. And the heavyweight division is heading for big things. A dicembre 1 you are going to see a heavyweight fight for the generations.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

“There is something undeniably unique about a heavyweight title fight. Not just unique in boxing, but unique across sports. There’s a mystique, a mythical quality. Boxing’s heavyweight champions have always been heroic figures; almost super heroes. There’s a feel, a buzz in a heavyweight championship fight that is unique across all sports. And there’s certainly a unique feel to this fight, anche. We have the two tallest men, the biggest men in the heavyweight division – 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-7; two huge figures both literally and figuratively.

 

 

 

“Deontay Wilder: 40 combattimenti, 39 KO, most in devastating fashion. He’s one of the hardest punchers not just in boxing today, but modern boxing history. In Tyson Fury we certainly have a unique skill set. You do not see athletes who are 6-foot-9 who move the way Tyson Fury moves. He has a unique set of skills with athleticism. Outside of the NBA there’s not another more athletic 6-foot-9 athlete on the planet. It’s a fascinating clash of personalities and it’s a fascinating clash of styles and we are happy to bring it to you on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.”
