Tyson Fury reveals he is 'worried' about Deontay Wilder ahead of trilogy duel in Las Vegas

Fury insists that damage has been done to Wilder ahead of trilogy contest

WBC Heavyweight World Champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury and former longtime heavyweight champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder squared off for a long and intense face-to-face stare down Tuesday in Los Angeles at a press conference to preview their highly anticipated third world title showdown taking place Saturday, July 24 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and live on pay-per-view.

'The Gypsy King' defeated 'The Bronze Bomber' in emphatic fashion last time out, recording an emphatic stoppage under the lights in Las Vegas.

And the undefeated Briton has revealed his confidence in being able to repeat his performance back in America, ahead of the third meeting between the pair on American soil.

He revealed his 'doubts' over the mentality of his opponent in the press conference on Tuesday, insisting he was clearly the more skillful fighter.

Fury said:  “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.”
