Here is what the fighters and their trainers had to say Tuesday from The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Live-:
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 WILDERE
“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. Op juli 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, Wilder's Trainer
“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.”
The Heavyweight Championship has always been the most noteworthy prize in the sport. Over the last few years, the interest in the fistic giants has dwindled. That has changed with the exciting power of Deontay Wilder and the charismatic showmanship of Tyson Fury.
With their first encounter ending in a controversial draw, they find themselves sharing the ring again. Both men with undefeated records and only a single draw (against each other) on their ledger.
The big men are taking center stage for the undisputed prize. “The Bronze Bomber” and “The Gypsy King”…. Who will reign supreme?

STIJL
Wilder:
A wild-swinging, often-sloppy fighter with long arms and fight-changing power in both fists, Wilder likes to set the range with his lead hand and follow it with a variety of power punches. He carries his power late into his fights and is capable of scoring a knockout at any time.
Woede:
A confident, self-assured, and sometimes cocky fighter, Fury has nimble moves and quickness for such a large fighter. He combines good footwork with upper-body movement and ability to box either orthodox or southpaw, keeping opponents off-balance and setting up his own offensive attack.
THEIR FIRST BOUT
Wilder-Fury I:Fury opened the bout with effective movement, keeping Wilder off balance and unable to land anything significant. Wilder was able to land several hard jabs in the 4th ronde, trickling blood from Fury’s nose. Fury spent time in the mid rounds as a southpaw and found success. Wilder scored a knockdown in the 9thround but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11thround. The memorable 12thround saw Wilder break through and land a right hand and left hook combination. Fury fell hard to the canvas, flat on his back. He amazingly rose at the count of 9 and was outlanding Wilder as the final round concluded. Alejandro Rochin scored 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper scored 114-112 Woede, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
STERKE
Wilder:
* Power – The detonation at the end of Wilder’s fists, primarily is right hand, is of nuclear proportions. While his left hand carries substantial pop in it, it is Wilder’s right hand that is seen as maybe the most devastating punch in boxing today. He can end fights by landing his right hand straight down the middle, arcing it over the top, or splitting the guard as an uppercut.
* Conditioning – Early in his career, when he was ending all of his fights within a few rounds, there were question marks if Wilder would fade in the later rounds. He has proven that he can fight equally as hard in the late rounds and capable of a knockout until the final bell.
* Athleticism – Wilder combines a rare blend of size, snelheid, vermogen, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Woede:
* Movement – For a man with the size and physique that resembles a silverback, Fury moves with the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. He is light on his feet and possesses shifty upperbody movement that is uncanny for someone so large.
* Confidence – Fury is supremely confident in himself and believes in his ability. He shows little or no fear in the ring. His self-assured charismatic nature gives him a psychological advantage.
* Resilient – Whether it was climbing off the canvas against Wilder, overcoming a horrific cut against Wallin, or battling against depression and substance abuse, Fury has shown a toughness and resiliency that are to be admired.
ZWAK
Wilder:
* Sloppy – Wilder shows so much faith in his power that he is frequently wild and sloppy with his punches and footwork. He often times looks very amateurish in the ring.
* Trouble With Boxers – Fighters who use good movement and boxing ability trouble Wilder. He struggles setting his feet and is often a step behind. He was trailing Luis Ortiz in both fights and was outclassed for most of his first fight with Fury.
* Chin – The few times that Wilder was seriously chin-checked, he showed some flaws in his durability. Ortiz had him badly hurt and close to a knockout loss.
Woede:
* Distractions – Fury is loving his new-found fame and talking WWE and MMA. He split with his trainer Ben Davidson and is calling his own shots. Fury also has spells in the ring where he loses focus and he has found himself on the canvas more than once during a lapse in concentration.
* Personal Life – It is well-documented Fury’s past personal demons with depression and substance abuse, along with a weight gain to over 400 lbs. While his triumphs over those demons is admirable, the lasting physical effects cannot be denied.
* Skin– It’s only been five months since Fury suffered a terrible gash over his right eye against Otto Wallin, requiring 47 stitches. While doctors have deemed the cut sufficiently healed, his tender skin could reopen at the most inopportune time.
VORIGE BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) – Wilder again scored a come-from-behind knockout against Luis Oritz. After being outboxed for the majority of the first six rounds, Wilder set his range against a tiring Ortiz and landed a pulverizing right hand which resulted in a one-punch knockout.
Woede:
(9/14/19) – Fury survived a bloody contest with the undefeated but unknown Otto Wallin. Fury suffered a cut over his right eye in the 3rdround and the blood clearly affected his vision. Despite the impairment, Fury still controlled the action and hurt Wallin several times en route to a decision victory.
3 BESTE PRESTATIES
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4thround and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9thround sent Szpilka down and unconscious, de 2016 Knock-out van het Jaar.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) – Wilder answered questions about his stamina by going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career and capturing the WBC title in the process. Wilder utilized his long jab and kept Stiverne at bay with his underrated skillset.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) – Wilder survived some scary moments against the oft-avoided Cuban veteran before prevailing by 10thround knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5thround. An Ortiz rally in the 7thhad Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Woede:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) – Fury went into Klitschko’s backyard and wrested the unified and lineal heavyweight championships via unanimous decision. While the bout was a cautious affair, Fury was able to outwork Klitschko with superior footwork, beweging, and a higher punch output.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) – Fury dominated the rematch with his British rival, boxing from a distance, switching between orthodox and southpaw, and punishing his adversary until the corner stopped the fight after 10 one-sided rounds.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) – With the exception of two knockdowns and some curious judging, Fury was in control for most of the bout. He avoided Wilder’s punches and landed effective counters, making Wilder looked confused and off-balance in the process.
Sleutel tot overwinning
Wilder:
* Utilize his jab and negate Fury’s awkward style
* Keep his power punches short and compact
* Don’t get mesmerized by Fury’s upperbody movement
Woede:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
VRAGEN
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Woede:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE VOORSPELLING
Both combatants are exceptional showmen and their respective ring entrances will have the crowd abuzz. The electricity will be at a fever pitch at the opening bell. With their familiarity, there will be less of a feeling out process than their first encounter. Fury will be on his toes moving forward and Wilder will try to time his advances and land counter punches. At the end of the 1st ronde, Fury will taunt Wilder and there will be an exchange of words.
Fury’s constant movement and single punches will trouble Wilder as his counter punches will find mostly empty air. The following rounds will be an exciting game of cat and mouse with the smaller Wilder in the role of the cat, futility trying to corner the larger Wilder.
Wilder will find success with his jab in the 6th en 7throunds and a looping right hand will catch Fury on top of the head, knocking him off balance to the canvas. Fury will rise, wink at his corner, and come bouncing back into action. The excitement will have Wilder swinging wildly and falling to the canvas himself after missing overexaggerated right hand.
With Wilder seemingly arm-weary from his punch output the previous round, Fury will turn southpaw and land several hard right hands, then bounce out of range of any counter punches.
Fury’s movement and higher workrate will carry the action through the championship rounds, leading him again to an apparent lead going into the final round.
The decision this time will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld a shade closer at 114-113, all in favor of “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury.

Ongeslagen WBC zwaargewicht kampioen Wilder & Ongeslagen Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in langverwachte rematch op zaterdag, Februari 22 in Historisch Mega PPV-evenement van de MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Februari 13, 2020) – De aanstaande rematch tussen WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “De Bronzen Bomber” Wilder en in rechte lijn kampioen Tyson “De zigeunerkoning” Woede is het grootste zwaargewicht titelgevecht in de geschiedenis.
Letterlijk.
Staan 6'7″ en 6’9″ respectievelijk, Wilder en Fury creëren de grootste gecombineerde hoogte ooit gezien in een gevecht voor de WBC, Ring Magazine en lineaire titels van zwaargewicht, een collectief staan 13 voeten en 4 inches. Het enige zwaargewicht titelgevecht “groter,” bij wijze van spreken, vond plaats in 2007, toen de 7-foot Nikolay Valuev zijn WBA-zwaargewichttitel verdedigde tegen de 6’6″ Jameel McCline. Maar nog nooit waren de allerbeste grote mannen van de sport zo groot als ze nu zijn.
Om in perspectief te plaatsen hoe groot Wilder en Fury zijn, het is het beste om ze te vergelijken met het land van reuzen: De NBA. Bedenk dat om 6'7″ en in de buurt van 220 pond, Wilder is even groot als de kleine voorwaartse Kawhi Leonard van Los Angeles Clippers. Woede, ondertussen, is qua lengte en gewicht vrijwel identiek aan LeBron James.
Deze dagen, een blik op de Top 10 van elke ranglijst die je kiest, laat zien dat de meeste kanshebbers zijn gebouwd als Super Bowl-kampioen Tight End Travis Kelce, die 6'6 staat″ en weegt rond 250 pond.
Zoals iedereen die de spannende eerste wedstrijd tussen Wilder en Fury heeft gezien, zal weten, de twee zijn inderdaad atleten, ver van de logge kolossen zou je verwachten dat mannen van hun afmetingen dat zijn. Wilder staat misschien bekend om zijn gigantische one-punch-kracht, maar hij heeft ook een echt dynamische beweging in de ring getoond. Ga naar de tape van zijn knock-out van Bermane Stiverne en zie hoe hij zijdelings vastbindt om hoeken te creëren voordat hij zijn verwoestende schoten landt, jukend als een brede ontvanger in het open veld, en je kunt zien waarom Wilder ervan droomde om college football te spelen in Alabama toen hij op de middelbare school zat.
Fury had er nooit van gedroomd iets anders te doen dan boksen - hoe kon je toen je vernoemd werd naar een zwaargewichtlegende en geboren werd in een familie met een rijke vechtgeschiedenis in Ierland. Maar de “Gypsy King” werd ook geboren met opmerkelijke behendigheid om mee te gaan met een leven van ontwikkeld boks-inzicht, rond de ring glijden en boksen in een stijl die bij een weltergewicht zou passen, geen power forward-sized zwaargewicht.
Wilder en Fury zijn onderscheidend omdat ironisch genoeg, reuzen zijn meestal niet dominant in sportvelden. Terwijl sommigen ooit grootheden waren, d.w.z.. de 6'9″ Boston Bruins verdediger Zdeno Chara, wie is een slot voor de Hockey Hall of Fame - vaak staan grote mannen vooral bekend als groot, en bereiken niet het hoogtepunt van hun sport. En begrijpelijkerwijs. Kolossaal groot zijn is vaak op zoveel manieren een belemmering als een voordeel, vooral als het gaat om beweging en behendigheid. De langste speler van de NFL, zevenvoeter Richard Singh, speelde slechts acht carrièredames, de grootste speler aller tijden van de MLB, de 6'11” Jon Rauch, was een gezelverlichter, en tennis’ 6’10” en 6’11” wolkenkrabbers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner en Rilley Opelka hebben geen majors op hun naam staan.
Omdat mensen in de loop der jaren groter en sterker zijn geworden, natuurlijk, zo hebben boksers. Rocky Marciano, staand 5'10 ½” en weegt er net boven 180 pond, zou volgens de huidige maatstaven een klein cruiserweight zijn. Joe Louis en Muhammad Ali, door velen beschouwd als de twee grootste zwaargewichten aller tijden, en zeker geen kleine vechters in hun tijd, stond 6'1 ½” en 6’3″ respectievelijk. Theoretisch, Louis zou negen centimeter in bereik aan Fury opgeven, wiens spanwijdte 85 is″. Er waren uitschieters in eerdere tijdperken, natuurlijk - Jess Willard en Ernie Terrell waren 6’6″ en hoger en veroverde zwaargewichttitels, maar decennia lang was het mogelijk om zo groot te zijn als een modern cruiserweight en niet alleen te concurreren, maar wees een imposante figuur in de divisie.
Dingen begonnen te veranderen in de late jaren 80 en 90, toen Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe en Lennox Lewis, een trio van 6’6″ zwaargewichten gevangen riemen. Maar het moderne tijdperk werd ingeluid door Vitali en Wladimir Klitscko, de 6'6″ broers die in wezen de divisie regeerden voor het grootste deel van een decennium voordat Fury Wladimir afzette voor de lineaire kroon in 2015.
Boksen heeft door de jaren heen een groot aantal reuzen gehad, waarvan er vele zijn achtergebleven bij de elite-niveaus. Recentelijk, fans zullen zich de veel gehypte Amerikaanse prospect Tye Fields herinneren, een torenhoge 6'8″ linkshandige die ondanks een enorme hoeveelheid hype, nooit gevochten voor een wereldtitel. Julius “De torenhoge inferno” Long begon zijn carrière 5-0, en om 7’1″ met een 90″ bereik leek een kracht om rekening mee te houden, voordat hij zich vestigde als een van de meest beruchte gezellen en betrouwbare sparringpartners van de sport.
Wilder en Fury zijn een opmerkelijke mix van grootte en atletisch vermogen en gaan tegen de trend in die je kunt zijn “te groot” om goed te zijn. Als de herkansing nadert, het is opwindend - of misschien wel eng - om na te denken over de volgende evolutie van zwaargewichten die na deze twee zal komen. Er was een tijd dat de grote George Foreman, om 6'3″ en met een 78″ bereiken, of Larry Holmes om 18.3 uur″ met een 81″ bereiken, werden beschouwd als een van de meest ontmoedigende fysieke aanwezigen die ooit in de ring hebben gestapt. Maar Wilder en Fury hebben een nieuwe fysieke standaard gezet. Worden zwaargewichten van NBA-formaat de komende jaren de norm??
Tenminste voorlopig, Wilder en Fury zijn verre van normaal. Het zijn kolossale aanwezigen, ja, maar ze zijn ook de twee allerbeste zwaargewichten ter wereld op het hoogtepunt van hun krachten, op zoek naar een van de meest memorabele gevechten, en fel bediscussieerde trekkingen in de recente geschiedenis.
Wie zal er in februari rechtop staan 22?

LOS ANGELES (Januari 28, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World ChampionDeontay “De Bronzen Bomber” Wilder and undefeated lineal heavyweight championTyson “De zigeunerkoning” Woede 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, Februari 22 in een historisch, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Tickets voor het evenement zijn nu te koop en kunnen worden gekocht bij www.mgmgrand.com of www.axs.com. Het evenement wordt gepromoot door BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, Top Rank en Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. Een Premier Boxing Champions-presentatie.
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 WILDERE
“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. Dat is’ 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, alles kan gebeuren.
“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 notulen.
“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 knock-outs, 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 (Januari 13, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World ChampionDeontay “De Bronzen Bomber” Wilder en ongeslagen lineale kampioen Tyson “De zigeunerkoning” Woede continued their war of words and previewed their much anticipated rematch at a Los Angeles press conference on Monday before they square off Saturday, Februari 22 in een historisch, 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 12thround knockdown to finish the fight. It is one of the most memorable moments in recent heavyweight history, en op februari 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 voor het evenement zijn nu te koop en kunnen worden gekocht bij www.mgmgrand.com of www.axs.com. Het evenement wordt gepromoot door BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, Top Rank en Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. Een Premier Boxing Champions-presentatie.
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. Live-:
Deontay WILDERE
“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, maar dat hij in grote vorm was. 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. Ik ga hem knock-out. 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’t’ get 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. confrontatie.
“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.
“Ik ga om te winnen, 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 knock out.
“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, President van TGB Promotions
“Op februari 22, in het 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. Op februari 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.”
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. Nog, 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 asRPG 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 it – Wilder 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. Maar, 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 excellentAndroid 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 rondes. If you are neutral and want to see a good fight, this is the one you don’t want to miss!

Jarrett Hurd Defends WBA, IBF 154-Pound Titles With Fourth-Round KO Over James Welborn; Luis Ortiz Registers 10-Round TKO of Travis Kauffman; Joe Joyce Remains Undefeated With First-Round KO Against Joe Hanks
LOS ANGELES (December. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center in arguably one of the best heavyweight fights in years.
After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, Woede (27-0-1, 19 KO) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KO) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. De rechters scoorde de wedstrijd 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.
“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”
Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.
“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues. “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.”
It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 fans, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and boxing legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.
Woede, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 algeheel, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. Opnieuw, he managed to stand up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.
“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.
Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”
SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.
Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”
“One hundred percent we’ll do the rematch,” said Fury, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”
Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”
Woede, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.
In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, "Swift" Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KO) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 KO), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.
Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.
Na het gevecht, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ Jim Gray, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. I’m No. 1 right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”
Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”
Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.
“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,"Zei Hurd. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.”
Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 KO) returned to STAPLES Center for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) van Reading, Vader.
The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Cuba, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.
The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "Ik ben een krijger," zei Ortiziz. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”
Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 in de achtste ronde. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.
The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”
“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury]," zei Ortiziz. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”
In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 KO) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 KO). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, uit Londen, Engeland, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.
Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”
It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"Hij zei. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”
It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N.J., has been knocked down by a left hook.
Earlier in the night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World ended as Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11th round knockout from Videotron Center in Quebec City.
