Tyson Fury is expecting that Deontay Wilder will be ‘more dangerous’ in their third fight later this year.
Fury outboxed, outclassed and beat Wilder back in February, recording an outstanding win and becoming the new WBC Champion.
This was the second fight between the two boxers, with the first fight ending in a controversial draw.
In the third fight, Fury expects that the Bronze Bomber from Alabama will be more dangerous and determined to reclaim his title and bragging rights.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Gypsy King said:
Heavyweight boxing takes one punch. Dismantle Deontay Wilder? It only takes one punch off Deontay Wilder. ‘Still a very dangerous opponent, still a very hungry man, who is coming in there to prove his worth, to prove he can come back and become a two-time heavyweight champion. More dangerous than the last fight, for sure.
The trilogy bout was set to be held in Las Vegas, but reports have indicated that the fight might be held elsewhere, with the Middle East being mentioned as a possible destination.
The WBC Champion expressed his confidence in the fight, stating that he was ready to face Wilder anywhere.
‘I’ll get over there, nice and early, eight to 10 weeks beforehand. Put in a good, gruelling training camp,’ he explained.
‘Hopefully I’ll be injury-free and we’ll go out there and dance beneath the stars, in front of the world after the coronavirus.
