The two gargantuan heavyweights traded words and shared updates on training camp leading up to one of the most heavily awaited fights in recent memory. A large media contingent was on hand to watch the undefeated titans square off once again, less than one month before they will finally meet in the ring to settle the score, 14 months after their unforgettable first clash.
Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday in Los Angeles:
DEONTAY Wilder
“Things are going amazing. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. To come from where I come from, it’s amazing to be here. When you get a happy Deontay Wilder in training camp, you can definitely expect great things from me. To je’ what I’m going to give you.
“We haven’t seen his power displayed like he’s been talking about. It hasn’t been continuous, like mine. I think he has pillows as fists. That’s what I felt in our last fight.
“With the strategies that he’s talking about, I don’t really know how to take it. I don’t know if he’s trying to throw me off my game by saying he’s going to knock me out. But it’s exciting to hear and I’m looking forward to February 22.
“Everything on his body is a target, not just his cut. Everything that is permissible for me to hit, I’m going to hit it.
“When you fight someone like me, it’s a mistake to tinker around with your training camp. I’m unpredictable in that ring. When you have too many opinions and too many people who think they have the remedy, it usually backfires.
“I think this win will be more special than the others. Because of the history that we have, with that controversial draw. I consider Tyson a brother of this era, especially in the heavyweight division. The other fighters don’t want to let themselves loose and have fun. We’re both able to enjoy what we do day after day. Because when the bell rings, môže sa stať čokoľvek.
“Boj s chlapom ako je Fury, musíš byť opatrný. Čas v ringu plynie tak rýchlo. Snažíte sa robiť všetko, na čo ste sa pripravili. S tým, čo svojimi boxerskými schopnosťami prináša na stôl, musíte mať určité povedomie o hodinách. Ale s mojou silou, jeho úlohou je skutočne sledovať hodiny a snažiť sa mi vyhnúť 36 zápis.
“Obaja musíme vojsť, akoby sme zvládli prvý boj, so srdcom na rukávoch a mentalitou bojovníka, ktorú vždy prinášame. Keď sa dostanete do tohto bodu, scenéria sama o sebe vedie k veľkému boju. Všetci vieme, kedy prídem bojovať, Nehrám sa dokola. Dnes sa tu môžeme hrať, ale budeme mať tú vražednú mentalitu v ringu.”
TYSON FURY
“Som pripravený. Cítim sa dobre na sústredení. Všetko išlo naozaj dobre. Neexistujú žiadne zranenia ani výhovorky. Všetko je to odhodlanie a obeta, jeden deň za druhým.
“Prvý súboj, do ktorého som chcel ísť a vyboxovať ho. Nefungovalo to. Bez ohľadu na to, čo ľudia hovoria, Nevyhral som. Remízu počítam ako prehru.
“Sme obrovské ťažké váhy. Mal som 20 priechodky, takže som veľmi schopný vyraziť ľudí. Keď podceníte moc niekoho iného, zvyčajne končíš odlepený. Či už som skvelý puncher alebo nie, Neverím, že sa mi niekto iný vyrovná srdcom a odhodlaním. Svoju železnú vôľu hodím na Deontaya Wildera.
“Cítil som, že potrebujem v tomto boji získať náskok. So mnou a mojimi trénermi to nie je osobné, cutmen a odborníci na výživu. Je to biznis. If I think someone else is going to improve my business, I’ll do it.
“How do you beat a massive puncher? You have to back him up. He gets massive leverage in those long arms while coming forward. I have to put him on the back foot and make him absorb some of my power.
“I’m the Gypsy King. There’s only been one and there’s only likely to be one going forward. That’s one belt that Deontay Wilder can’t ever win.
“He had a great performance against Ortiz. He did what he was supposed to do. He knocks guys out. He was relaxed and calm under the pressure. I was impressed. Not by the knockout, but by the way he was conducting himself under pressure.
“I’m always real. Deontay Wilder has knocked out 43 opponents in a row. Even if I hate this guy, I respect that. He has amazing power and his name is up there with all-time greats. He’s a great puncher who gets the job done.”
