Here is what the fighters and their trainers had to say Tuesday from The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Na żywo:

TYSON FURY

“It was a crazy roller coaster toward this fight. I always say, ‘you’re never fighting someone, until you’re in the ring opposite them.’ It wasn’t hard for me to adjust to fighting Deontay Wilder again. It’s what I’m paid to do.

“I’m just always training and staying motivated. I’m happy to be living and here right now. I look forward to today. That’s how I manage everything. I’m a ‘living in the moment’ type of person.

“I hope Deontay brings something different for this fight. He needs to, if we’re facing facts. I hope he brings a challenge. Hopefully Malik Scott can bring the best out of Deontay Wilder.

“The beating from the last fight has had a physical, mental and emotional effect on his life. I was worried about him after the way I beat him.

“Deontay Wilder is a one-trick pony. He’s got great one-punch knockout power. I’m going to run him over like I’m an 18-wheeler. I guarantee he doesn’t go past where he did in the second fight. I’m looking for a big knockout straight away.

“He said all this stuff about bloodshed last time and we all know what happened last time. I’m going to keep it short and sweet today.”

Deontay Wilder

“Enough has been said. It’s time to cut off his head. Come July the 24, there will be bloodshed. Get your tickets now and I’ll see you soon.

“A lot of things are going to be different in this fight. Lipca 24, the world is going to see. We’re going to reveal everything we’ve been working on.

“I didn’t feel any way about Fury trying to negotiate another fight. We knew we were in the right and we knew they couldn’t run. Silence is golden.

“I’ve been happy and even happier in my time off. I’ve had time to spend with my family and now I’m rejuvenated and ready to go.

“I’ve been training non-stop during the pandemic and I’ve been building. All this time between fights is going to be good for me and bad for him. I’ve had nothing but time to progress.

“Whatever he does on July 24, we will have an answer for it. I’m training very hard and my mind is very violent. I’m ready to go.”

SUGARHILL STEWARD, Fury’s Trainer

“The amount of time me and Tyson have had together since joining forces hasn’t changed anything. Our chemistry has always been there. The only thing is, is that over that time, he now has the power to knock a man out with one punch.

“I’m glad he’s added that kind of power to go with his boxing skills and IQ. He now has the one-punch knockout power. He just needs to land that one punch.”

MALIK SCOTT, Trener Wildera

“Deontay and I have always had a chemistry and a brotherhood between us. Before we talked about moving forward with me as his trainer, I wanted to make sure we had the same chemistry as trainer and fighter that we had with our brotherhood. Our chemistry as fighter and trainer by far passes it. I’m impressed with how he’s adapted.

“I believe that with a fighter like Deontay, who has naturally raw power, combined with my technically sound background, we just match well together.

“Deontay has made the mental adjustments. All I needed was a receptive athlete. He’s already made the adjustments to do whatever I need him to do in that ring.

“I only see this fight going one way. If you just let Fury do what he wants, he’ll do way more than what you want. I have no doubt that Deontay will become the two-time heavyweight champion of the world and it will come by knockout.”

Wilder vs.. Wyścig dogłębnego podglądu i analizy rewanżu

Przez: Tony Penecale

Mistrzostwa wagi ciężkiej zawsze były najbardziej godną uwagi nagrodą w sporcie. W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat, zmniejszyło się zainteresowanie pięściowymi gigantami. Zmieniło się to wraz z ekscytującą mocą Deontaya Wildera i charyzmatycznym pokazem Tysona Fury.

Ich pierwsze spotkanie zakończyło się kontrowersyjnym losowaniem, ponownie dzielą pierścień. Obaj panowie z niepokonanymi rekordami i tylko jednym remisem (przeciwko sobie) na ich księdze.

Wielcy ludzie zajmują centralne miejsce w kwestii niekwestionowanej nagrody. „The Bronze Bomber” i „The Gypsy King”…. Kto będzie panował najwyższy?

Lineal Heavyweight Champion (2015 -Pres)

STYL

Wilder:  

Dzikie kołysanie, często niechlujny wojownik z długimi ramionami i zmieniającą walkę mocą w obu pięściach, Wilder lubi ustawiać zasięg swoją wiodącą ręką i podążać za nim różnymi uderzeniami mocy. Swoją moc przenosi do późnych godzin walki i jest w stanie w każdej chwili dokonać nokautu.

Furia:

Pewny siebie, zadufany w sobie, i czasami zarozumiały wojownik, Fury ma zwinne ruchy i szybkość jak na tak dużego wojownika. Łączy dobrą pracę nóg z ruchem górnej części ciała i umiejętnością boksowania zarówno ortodoksyjnego, jak i południowego, wytrącanie przeciwników z równowagi i przygotowywanie własnego ataku ofensywnego.

ICH PIERWSZA WALKA

Wilder-Fury I: Fury rozpoczął walkę skutecznym ruchem, wytrącając Wildera z równowagi i niezdolny do wylądowania niczego znaczącego. Wilder był w stanie zadać kilka silnych dźgnięć 4th okrągły, cieknąca krew z nosa Fury'ego. Fury spędził czas w środkowych rundach jako południowa łapa i odnalazł sukces. Wilder zdobył knockdown w 9th okrągłe, ale jego kolejny atak sprawił, że był zmęczony, pozwolił Fury'emu odzyskać pęd dzięki 11th okrągły. Niezapomniany 12th piła okrągła Wilder przebija się i wyląduje kombinacją prawej i lewej ręki. Furia ciężko spadła na płótno, płasko na plecach. Zadziwiająco podniósł się, licząc 9 i pokonał Wildera po zakończeniu ostatniej rundy. Strzelił Alejandro Rochin 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper zdobył bramkę 114-112 Furia, i Phil Edwards zdobył bramkę 113-113.

MOCNE STRONY

Wilder:

* Moc - detonacja na końcu pięści Wildera, przede wszystkim jest prawą ręką, ma proporcje jądrowe. Podczas gdy jego lewa ręka nosi w sobie znaczny trzask, to prawa ręka Wildera jest dziś uważana za prawdopodobnie najbardziej niszczycielski cios w boksie. Może kończyć walki, lądując prawą ręką prosto na środku, łukiem go od góry, lub rozłupanie osłony jako nacięcia.

* Kondycjonowanie - na początku swojej kariery, kiedy kończył wszystkie swoje walki w ciągu kilku rund, pojawiły się znaki zapytania, czy Wilder zniknie w późniejszych rundach. Udowodnił, że potrafi równie mocno walczyć w późnych rundach i jest zdolny do nokautu aż do ostatniego dzwonka.

* Athleticism - Wilder łączy w sobie rzadką mieszankę rozmiarów, prędkość, moc, i zdolności atletyczne, gdzie łatwo sobie wyobrazić, że dominuje w każdym typie środowiska sportowego.

Furia: 

* Ruch - dla mężczyzny o wielkości i budowie przypominającej srebrnego grzbietu, Fury porusza się z gracją i zręcznością baletnicy. Jest lekki na nogach i posiada płynny ruch górnej części ciała, który jest niesamowity dla kogoś tak dużego.

* Zaufanie - Fury jest niezwykle pewny siebie i wierzy w swoje umiejętności. Na ringu nie okazuje strachu. Jego pewna siebie charyzmatyczna natura daje mu przewagę psychologiczną.

* Odporny - czy wspinał się po płótnie przeciwko Wilderowi, pokonując przerażające cięcie Wallina, lub walka z depresją i uzależnieniami, Fury wykazał się twardością i odpornością, które należy podziwiać.

SŁABOŚCI

Wilder:

* Niechlujny - Wilder wykazuje tak wielką wiarę w swoją moc, że często jest dziki i niechlujny w swoich ciosach i pracy nóg. Na ringu często wygląda bardzo amatorsko.

* Kłopoty z bokserami - wojownicy, którzy używają dobrego ruchu i umiejętności bokserskich, przeszkadzają Wilderowi. Z trudem stawia nogi i często jest o krok z tyłu. W obu walkach był za Luisem Ortizem i przez większość swojej pierwszej walki z Furym został zdeklasowany.

* Podbródek - kilka razy, kiedy Wilder był poważnie sprawdzany podbródkiem, wykazał pewne wady w swojej trwałości. Ortiz był ciężko ranny i bliski przegranej przez nokaut.

Furia:

* Distractions - Fury uwielbia swoją nowo odkrytą sławę i rozmawia o WWE i MMA. Podzielił się ze swoim trenerem Benem Davidsonem i sam decyduje o sobie. Fury ma również zaklęcia w pierścieniu, w których traci skupienie i wielokrotnie znajdował się na płótnie podczas utraty koncentracji.

* Życie osobiste - to dobrze udokumentowane przeszłe osobiste demony Fury'ego z depresją i uzależnieniami, wraz z przyrostem masy ciała 400 funty Podczas gdy jego triumfy nad tymi demonami są godne podziwu, nie można zaprzeczyć trwałym efektom fizycznym.

* Skóra - Minęło zaledwie pięć miesięcy, odkąd Fury doznał straszliwej rany na prawym oku w walce z Otto Wallinem, wymagające 47 szwy. Podczas gdy lekarze uznali rany za wystarczająco zagojone, jego delikatna skóra mogła się ponownie otworzyć w najbardziej nieodpowiednim momencie.

POPRZEDNI BOUT

Wilder:  (11/23/19) - Wilder ponownie strzelił przez nokaut zza pleców przeciwko Luisowi Oritzowi. Po rozegraniu większości pierwszych sześciu rund, Wilder ustawił swój zakres przeciwko męczącemu Ortizowi i wylądował prochującą prawą ręką, co spowodowało nokaut za jednym uderzeniem.

Furia:

(9/14/19) - Fury przetrwał krwawą walkę z niepokonanym, ale nieznanym Otto Wallinem. Fury doznał rozcięcia w prawym oku 3rd okrągła, a krew wyraźnie wpłynęła na jego wzrok. Pomimo upośledzenia, Fury nadal kontrolował akcję i kilkakrotnie ranił Wallina w drodze do decyzji zwycięstwa.

3 Najlepszych występów

Wilder:

* Artur Szpilka (1/16/16) - Po wcześniejszym pozostawaniu w tyle, Wilder przejął 4th i zaczął się uspokajać i kontrolować akcję. Jedna prawa ręka w 9th runda sprawiła, że ​​Szpilka stracił przytomność, the 2016 Nokaut Roku.

* Złoty Puchar (1/17/15) - Wilder odpowiadał na pytania dotyczące swojej wytrzymałości, przechodząc w pełni 12 po raz pierwszy w swojej karierze, zdobywając tytuł WBC. Wilder wykorzystał swoje długie dźgnięcie i trzymał Stiverne na dystans dzięki niedocenianemu zestawowi umiejętności.

* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Wilder przeżył kilka strasznych chwil w starciu z często unikanym kubańskim weteranem, zanim zwyciężył 10th okrągły nokaut. Wilder był zmartwiony umiejętnościami bokserskimi Ortiza na początku, zanim go powalił 5th okrągły. Rajd Ortiza w 7th miał Wildera poważnie ranny, ale Wilder był w stanie przegrupować się i zdobyć nokaut kilka rund później.

Furia:

*  Władimir Kliczko (11/25/15) - Fury wkroczył na podwórko Kliczko i jednogłośną decyzją zniszczył jednolite i liniowe mistrzostwa wagi ciężkiej. Podczas gdy walka była ostrożna, Fury był w stanie pokonać Kliczkę lepszą pracą nóg, ruch, i wyższą wydajność dziurkowania.

* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Fury zdominował rewanż ze swoim brytyjskim rywalem, boks na odległość, przełączanie się między ortodoksyjną a południową łapą, i karanie swojego przeciwnika, aż róg zatrzymał walkę 10 jednostronne rundy.

* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - Z wyjątkiem dwóch powalenia i kilku ciekawych ocen, Fury kontrolował większość walki. Uniknął ciosów Wildera i wylądował skutecznymi kontrami, sprawiając, że Wilder wyglądał na zdezorientowanego i niezrównoważonego.

KLUCZE DO ZWYCIĘSTWA

Wilder:

* Wykorzystaj jego dźgnięcie i zaneguj niezręczny styl Fury'ego

* Niech jego uderzenia mocy będą krótkie i zwarte

* Nie daj się zahipnotyzować ruchami górnej części ciała Fury'ego

Furia:

* Zmień tempo i nie zgaduj Wildera

* Użyj ruchu bocznego, aby powstrzymać Wildera przed postawieniem stóp

* Nie bądź zarozumiały wobec lin

PYTANIA

Wilder:

* Czy Wilder poradzi sobie z niekonwencjonalnym ruchem Fury'ego?

* Will Wilder zastosuje lepszy plan gry?

*  Czy Wilder poczuje się sfrustrowany?

Furia:

* Will Fury będzie się za bardzo starał o nokaut?

* Czy Fury jest całkowicie skupiony na boksie? 

* Czy jego rozcięte oko jest podatne na ponowne zranienie?

PENECALE PRZEWIDYWANIE

Obaj walczący są wyjątkowymi showmanami, a ich wejścia na ring sprawią, że tłum będzie huczał. Podczas otwarcia dzwonka prąd będzie na wysokim poziomie. Z ich znajomością, będzie mniej wyczucia niż ich pierwsze spotkanie. Fury będzie na palcach, posuwając się naprzód, a Wilder będzie próbował wyrównać swoje postępy i zadać kontrataki. Na końcu 1st okrągły, Furia będzie drwić z Wildera i nastąpi wymiana słów.

Ciągły ruch Fury'ego i pojedyncze ciosy będą kłopotać Wildera, ponieważ jego kontrataki znajdą głównie puste powietrze. Kolejne rundy będą ekscytującą grą w kotka i myszkę z mniejszym Wilderem w roli kota, daremność próba osaczenia większego Wildera.

Wilder odniesie sukces z jego dźgnięciem w 6th i 7th rundy, a zapętlona prawa ręka złapie Furię na czubku głowy, strącając go z równowagi na płótno. Wściekłość wzrośnie, mrugnij do jego rogu, i wróć do akcji. Podniecenie sprawi, że Wilder będzie się dziko kołysał i sam spadł na płótno po tym, jak stracił nadmiernie przesadną prawą rękę.

Z Wilderem pozornie zmęczonym ramionami po jego uderzeniu w poprzednią rundę, Fury obróci się w południową łapę i wyląduje kilkoma twardymi prawymi rękami, następnie odbijają się poza zasięg jakichkolwiek kontrataków.

Ruch Fury'ego i wyższy wskaźnik pracy pozwolą przetrwać rundę mistrzostw, prowadząc go ponownie do widocznej przewagi w ostatniej rundzie.

Decyzja tym razem będzie jednomyślna, a strzelili Dave Moretti i Glenn Feldman 115-112 i Steve Weisfeld nieco bliżej 114-113, wszystko na korzyść „Króla Cyganów” Tysona Fury.

Deontay Wilder VS. TYSON FURY II IS AS BIG AS IT GETS

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Luty 22 in Historic Mega PPV Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas


LAS VEGAS (Luty 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “Brązowy Bombowiec” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Furia is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.

Literally.

Standing 6’7and 6’9″ odpowiednio, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bouttaller,” że tak powiem, took place in 2007, when the 7-foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today.

To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7and in the neighborhood of 220 funtów, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Furia, meanwhile, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight.

These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6and weighs around 250 funtów.

As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be. Wilder might be known for his titanic one-punch power, but he’s displayed some truly dynamic movement in the ring as well. Go watch the tape of his knockout of Bermane Stiverne and watch him bound laterally to create angles before landing his devastating shots, juking like a wide receiver in the open field, and you can see why Wilder dreamt of playing college football at Alabama when he was in high school.

Fury never dreamt of doing anything other than boxing-how could you when you were named after a heavyweight legend and born into a family rich with fighting history in Ireland. But theGypsy Kingwas also born with remarkable nimbleness to go along with a lifetime of developed boxing acumen, gliding around the ring and boxing with a style that would befit a welterweight, not a power forward-sized heavyweight.

Wilder and Fury are distinctive because ironically, giants aren’t usually dominant in sporting fields. While some have been all-time greats-i.e. the 6’9Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame-often times big men are known mostly just for being big, and don’t reach the pinnacle of their sport. And understandably so. Being colossally large is often a hindrance in as many ways as it’s an advantage, particularly when it comes to movement and dexterity. The NFL’s tallest player, seven-footer Richard Singh, played just eight career games, the MLB’s all-time tallest player, the 6’11Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6’10and 6’11skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.

As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, naturalnie, so have boxers. Rocky Marciano, standing 5’10 ½and weighing just above 180 funtów, would be a tiny cruiserweight by today’s standards. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the two greatest heavyweights of all-time, and certainly not tiny fighters in their time, stood 6’1 ½and 6’3″ odpowiednio. Theoretically, Louis would give up nine inches in reach to Fury, whose wingspan is 85″. There were outliers in earlier eras, of course-Jess Willard and Ernie Terrell were 6’6and above and captured heavyweight titles-but for decades it was possible to be the size of a modern cruiserweight and not just compete, but be an imposing figure in the division.

Things began to change in the late 80s and 90s, when Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, a trio of 6’6heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, the 6’6brothers who essentially ruled the division for the better part of a decade before Fury unseated Wladimir for the lineal crown in 2015.


Boxing has had its share of giants through the years, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “Ogniste piekło” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1with a 90reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.

Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can betoo bigto be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3and with a 78″ dosięgnąć, or Larry Holmes at 6’3with an 81″ dosięgnąć, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?

At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, tak, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.

Who will stand tall on February 22?

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com lub www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promocje, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

The 33-year-old Martin (27-2-1, 24 KO) became heavyweight champion in January 2016 when he won by TKO against then unbeaten Vyacheslav Glazkov. After losing his title to Anthony Joshua, Martin has won four of his last five fights, with all of his wins coming inside the distance. Originally from St. Louis, now living in Las Vegas and currently training in Southern California with Manny Robles, Martin bounced back from a narrow decision defeat to Adam Kownacki in 2018 to earn victories in 2019 against Gregory Corbin in March and Daniel Martz in July.

It is great to be back on the big stage,” powiedział Martin. “Wilder vs.. Fury II is the biggest heavyweight fight in a long time and it’s great to be on the PPV. Luty 22 will get me one step closer to my goal of becoming two-time heavyweight champion. Gerald Washington is standing in my way, so it’s my job to go right through him toward my ultimate goal.

Waszyngton (20-3-1, 13 KO) is a six-foot-six heavyweight contender who was a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. weteran navy. Born in San Jose, Kalifornia, Washington scored an impressive victory in his last outing, knocking out veteran contender Robert Helenius in July. Washington was unbeaten in his first 19 pro walki, before dropping his world title challenge against Deontay Wilder in February 2017.

This title eliminator is a very big opportunity for me and I’m going to do everything in my power to win on February 22,” powiedział Washington. “I have the right team behind me and the right mindset. I’ve known Martin my whole career and we even spent some time working together in the ring. I’m going to be at my best and I expect the same from him. It’s an honor to be a part of an event like this. Deontay and Tyson are both characters and I’m glad I can be a part of what’s going to be a great night of boxing on February 22.

Representing San Juan Zitlaltepec, Distrito Federal, Meksyk, Navarrete (30-1, 26 KO) captured his 122-pound title by defeating Isaac Dogboe in December 2018, and emphatically retained the title by stopping Dogboe in the final round of their rematch in May 2019. The 25-year-old stayed busy after securing the title, scoring stoppage victories in successful title defenses in August, September and most recently in December, when he knocked out Francisco Horta in Mexico. He is boxing’s most active world champion, as the Santisima bout will be his fifth title defense in nine months.

I am motivated to make my fifth defense in less than a year and especially because I’m proud to be part of a historic card headlined by Wilder vs. Fury II,” said Navarrete. “This is a great opportunity to put on an exhibition for the fans and showcase my talent once again. I’m very grateful to my promoters, Bob Arum and Fernando Beltran, for giving me these opportunities.

The 23-year-old Santisima (19-2, 16 KO) Kariera zawodowa w 2013 as a 16-year-old and has not lost a fight since his fourth career contest in 2014. A native of Masbate City, Filipiny, Santisima will ride a 17-fight winning streak into his U.S. debut and his first world title opportunity on February 22. His 2019 campaign saw him deliver victories over Alvius Maufani in August and Rene Dacquel in December.

I really appreciate this opportunity, as this has been my dream since I was a kid,” said Santisima. “Do tej walki, I will train and prepare to become the new champion. I don’t feel any pressure. I will just do my best on fight night to show the world who I am. I heard and read the news that this fight is a mismatch, but I will do my best to give a great fight.

Towering at nearly six-feet six-inches, Fundora (13-0-1, 9 KO) has used his height and length, combined with power and aggressiveness, to rack up an unbeaten record since turning pro in 2016. Fighting out of Coachella, Kalifornia, Fundora fought three times in 2019, including TKO victories over then unbeaten fighters Donnie Marshall and Hector Manuel Zepeda. The 22-year-old most recently fought to an exciting split-draw against fellow contender Jamontay Clark in August.

A 2016 Olympian representing his native Sydney, Australia, Chwytak (6-0, 4 KO) was unbeaten in 2019, his first year as a professional. The 26-year-old picked up his first five wins between his debut in March and his U.S. debut in November where he defeated Alexis Gaytan. Ostatnio, Lewis knocked out then unbeaten Rivo Kundimang in December.

LOS ANGELES (Styczeń 28, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “Brązowy Bombowiec” Wilder and undefeated lineal heavyweight champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Furia continued their war of words at a special attraction press event on Saturday at FOX Studios in Los Angeles, as they near their highly anticipated showdown taking place Saturday, Luty 22 in a historic, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com lub www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promocje, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

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’ 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, wszystko może się zdarzyć.

Fighting a guy like Fury, you have to be careful. Time goes by so fast in the ring. You’re trying to do everything that you prepared for. With what he brings to the table with his boxing skills, you have to have some awareness of the clock. But with my power, it’s his job to really watch the clock and try to avoid me for 36 protokół.

We both have to come in like we did the first fight, with our hearts on our sleeves and the warrior mentality that we always bring. When you get to this point, the scenery itself makes for a great fight. We all know when I come to fight, I don’t play around. We can play around here today, but we’re going to have that killer mentality in the ring.

TYSON FURY

I’m born ready. I’m feeling good in training camp. Everything has been going really well. There’s no injuries or excuses. It’s all dedication and sacrifice, one day after another.

The first fight I wanted to go in there and out box him. It didn’t work. No matter what people say, I didn’t win. I count a draw as a loss.

We’re giant heavyweights. I’ve had 20 nokautów, so I’m very capable of knocking people out. When you underestimate someone else’s power, you usually end up unstuck. Whether I’m a great puncher or not, I don’t believe anybody else can match me with heart and determination. I’m going to put my iron will on Deontay Wilder.

I felt that I needed to get an edge in this fight. It’s not personal with me and my trainers, cutmen and nutritionists. It’s business. 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.

LOS ANGELES (Styczeń 13, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “Brązowy Bombowiec” Wilder and undefeated lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Furia continued their war of words and previewed their much anticipated rematch at a Los Angeles press conference on Monday before they square off Saturday, Luty 22 in a historic, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilder vs.. Fury II will come 14 months after their thrilling first fight that saw Wilder retain the title via split draw, after Fury miraculously rose from a 12th round knockdown to finish the fight. It is one of the most memorable moments in recent heavyweight history, and on February 22 the two undefeated titans will take their war of words back into the ring to stake their claim as the best heavyweight in the world.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com lub www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promocje, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

The charismatic stars put their magnetic personalities on display at the press conference, each laying claim to a rightful victory in their first contest, while also declaring their intent on finishing the rematch with an emphatic knockout victory. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday from The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Na żywo:

Deontay Wilder

It’s great to be back for another big event. This is the biggest title fight of this era for sure and I can’t wait. I’m always in my element. I’m always in the zone. Right now I just can’t wait for February 22.

My body feels like its walking into the sixth week of camp instead of the third week. It’s been amazing to have the quick turnaround after the Ortiz fight in November. I’m coming in shape. I put shape on top of shape and it’s allowed me to prepare even harder for Fury.

We all know in rematches I’m always sharp because I’ve been in there before and I know what my opponent is capable of doing and what they plan on doing. I’m prepared more than ever for this fight.

I knocked him out the first time we fought. I told him two years ago I was going to baptize him. Rising up is part of the baptism. But this a different story. This is unfinished business. Because he’s in WWE I’m going to make sure he gets knocked out of the ring, I might even come down with a flying elbow from the top rope.

Fury not wanting the rematch me immediately definitely made this fight bigger. We had two warmups. I had a lot more dangerous road than he had though. He played it safe, while I went to the mountain top and climbed it. I’m building for my legacy.

If he beat me, then why all the new trainers? Every day it changes. Firing and hiring. He wants to talk about being out of shape the first time, ale był w świetnej formie. He spent 100,000 pounds on all those camps. I still to this day have the same people with me and I don’t need to change it.

When you’re facing power there’s no way around it. You can’t prepare for that. You just have to hope that when it lands, it doesn’t do that much damage. He doesn’t even know how he got on the ground or how he got up in the first fight. He’s been dealing with feeling ever since the end of the first fight.

I’m going to do exactly what I said I would do. Mam zamiar go znokautować. I’m the lion. I’m the king of the jungle. I’m going to rip his head off his body. Everyone sit tight and buckle up. It’s going to be a fun ride on the way to giving everyone the best fight you’ve seen in your lives.

This is a major fight for the public and everyone should be excited. It doesn’tget any better than this. Two giants and two champions, putting it all on the line for everyone’s entertainment. We’re leaving it all in the ring to see who is the king.

There’s so many things that go through my head as I take my time to adjust and time my opponent’s movements. I’m building the data I need to set him up for that perfect punch. There’s a lot of things that come with skills. Not just the average fundamentals. There are a lot of different things and that’s what makes boxing what it is. My ring IQ is very high and that’s how I set them up. I know everything he wants to do. He gave me 100% of him already.

He believes in his heart that he’ll knock me out. I always teach people to speak it, believe it and receive it. The magic of it all is in the belief. Though he’s saying those things, I don’t feel in his energy that he believes that. I feel like he’s nervous because of what happened the first time.

I just learned from the first fight that I need to be calmer. I’m going to be a lot more patient in this fight, just like in the second Luis Ortiz fight. The object of boxing is to win, not just to win rounds. And I win in devastating fashion.

TYSON FURY

The consensus is either he knocks me out, or I win on points. Usually when people have that opinion, it goes the opposite way around. Expect him to box and me to be looking for the knockout.

He thinks I’m going to come out herky-jerky with my famous style, but I want him to meet me in the center of the ring and have a slugfest, best man wins. I didn’t have the gas to finish him in the last fight, but this time I can turn that screwdriver until he’s gone. Let’s make it a Marvin Hagler vs. Tommy Hearns type of fight. I’ll meet you Inthe middle of the ring on February 22. Just watch out for the right hand, because you’re going to sleep in two rounds.

We finally have the rematch and I can’t remember a bigger heavyweight fight in a long time. Maybe Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson was the last big one like this and that was another U.S. vs. U.K. odkrycie kart.

Deontay Wilder hasn’t been returning my calls or messages since I beat him last time. He’s trying to keep his distance. He didn’t want to be around me so I can get in his head. But I don’t think you can really get in anyone’s head. At the end of the end of the day, it’s just talk. It doesn’t really matter what we say. It matters what happens on February 22.

What’s going to happen in this fight is that I’m going to get what I rightfully won last time. I’m going to get the green belt and keep my lineal title. And if he wants to rematch me after, I’ll beat him again. I’ve already beat him once, and I know I can beat him three times in a row.

“Mam zamiar wygrać, that’s what I do. Deontay Wilder can make all the excuses he wants to make. Everyone on his team can tell him he won that fight, but as a fighting man, you know when you win and lose a fight. I’m going to go out there give him a boxing lesson and knock him out.

You’re never a finished article, you can always improve. I like to keep freshening things up every now and again. I don’t make excuses. I won fair and square and we get to do it again. I’m ready for a fight today.

I’m the best of my era and I took that title from Wladimir Klitschko. Nobody disputed he was the best and I took that from him, until someone beats me, that’s my title.

He’s going to try to and the right hand. If I’m stupid enough to get hit with it, I deserve to lose. I hit the floor twice in the first fight, but it’s all about how you respond, I’m a fighting man. If he can’t finish me, I’m going to eat him up.

I’m looking for a knockout. That’s why I hired Sugarhill. He gets you to sit down on that big right hand. That’s what I’m looking for. There’s the game plan. If I wasn’t looking for a knockout, I would have sharpened up what I did in the last fight. I’m not coming for that. I’m looking for my 21st nokaut.

When I get him in there again, I’m going to make him feel the fury. I’ve never been as sure of anything in my whole life. As sure as I was this morning putting this suit on. 100 percent he can’t win He’s got a puncher’s chance like anyone else. I’m much sharper and more fit now. I’m ready to rumble right now. I hope he train hard and goes to bed sleeping thinking about me.

TOM BROWN, Prezes TGB Promocje

“W lutym 22, w MGM Grand Garden Arena, it’s going to be bombs away. We have two superstars here. The best two heavyweights in the world. Both fighters are going to show a lot of passion at this press conference and all the way leading up to this fight because there is so much at stake.

These are the best in boxing. There is nothing like a big heavyweight championship fight. We have the undefeated hardest punching, the most feared heavyweight in the world and I believe one of the all-time great heavyweights in Deontay Wilder.

There is a reason Fury and his team didn’t want the immediate rematch right after the first fight. He’s taken a couple of tune-up fights instead because he felt that power on December 1. That’s not going to change this time, he can just ask Luis Ortiz.

I was lucky enough to promote the first fight and I believe we have something special in this rematch. I look forward to a fantastic fight on February 22 and we’ll see everyone there.

TODD DUBOEF, President of Top Rank

We talk about boxing having a renaissance, but it’s really about the heavyweight division. That’s what is going to create that renaissance more than anything right now.

Tyson is so true, so gritty and he backs it up with everything he does. When you combine it with Deontay Wilder, you have two great personalities. This is really the beginning of the next super heavyweight run for the sport of boxing.

SUGARHILL STEWARD, Fury’s Trainer

This fight here is one of those fights that you don’t want to miss. The first one was one not to miss as well and I’m sure you all watched the replay. You have two great champions here going at each other. Both fighters left the ring still undefeated last time and still wanting to settle the store. W lutym 22, the score will be settled.

The heavyweight division is still the biggest and most powerful division in boxing. It always will be. Everyone wants to see the fighters throwing the big blows. Wilder is one of the hardest hitters in history and Tyson is one of the best boxers. I’m happy to be training. with Tyson Fury. It’s been about 10 years since we trained together. He trained with me and Emanuel Steward and I’m here to complete what Emmanuel started.

Who will be the true king of heavyweights? Wilder and Fury will decide in 2020

Despite rumors surrounding it for years, professional boxing is still alive, and it’s still far in front of MMA judged by public interest and the prize money. One of the reasons for that are heavyweights, especially Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and a bit less Anthony Joshua who just avenged the only loss of his career. Nadal, there is no doubt that Wilder and Fury are the cream of the crop, and their fight in 2020 will decide who is the king of the most popular division.

We won’t have to wait much for the dream match, as the contract is signed for February 22nd, as the fight will take in Las Vegas, probably in MGM grand where Fury made his impressive American debut, destroying Tom Schwartz in June 2019. Wilder also loves the place, since he became a champion there, defeating Bermane Stiverne and he recently defended the title against Ortiz. But what makes their second bout as exciting as RPG Sex Games, is that no one is a clear favorite.

The thing is Wilder and Fury are extremely different fighters. Fury is in the best shape of his career recently, and when it comes to boxing skills, he is far ahead of Wilder. As demonstrated by their first meeting, Fury is not a one-trick pony as he knows how to change pace and attack his opponent with both hands and in different ways. He can punch, but he is far from being impatient. He is the reason why no one believes that his match against the American will end early. Even on his bad day, Fury can withstand almost anything and knows how to overturn the match. As for the Wilder, he is a whole different story. He started boxing very late, and during his career, he was doubted even by experts that claimed he is a contender at best. There is no doubt about itWilder is the one with the ultimate power. Give him a chance to land a solid punch, and that is probably it for the night. That alone is what made him come out of the match with Fury undefeated, rocking him twice. Ale, Fury is the first opponent that was able to get up after such devastating shots, even though that took away his victory.

It’s hard to predict the winner as it’s much easier to make a list of excellent Android Sex Games. What we can predict is that this fight will highly unlikely be finished in early rounds, as it is highly unlikely that Wilder will win if he doesn’t drop Fury a few times. Judged by that, Fury looks like an early favorite in this one, but when you have a strong puncher like Wilder, it’s almost impossible not to let him land a single devastating punch in all 12 Rundy. If you are neutral and want to see a good fight, this is the one you don’t want to miss!
