Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury Prepare For War

The boxing world awaits this Saturday’s big heavyweight rematch between WBC heavyweight kingpin “The Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder and lineal champ “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It’s rare that a grudge-heavy heavyweight title fight is so evenly-matched and hard to predict, but fans should reap the benefit of this uncertainty as the combat entertainment unfolds.

In their first encounter, more than 14 months ago, the closer-than-close boxing odds explained why the public was so divided as to who would win. As things turned out, the fight was as close as everyone expected it would be and controversy reigned supreme as a widely disputed draw was announced.

The odd thing was that Wilder and Fury both succeeded in doing what they do best in their first fight. Wilder came forward, slugged, and twice dropped the big Irishman. Fury, meanwhile, boxed, shut down Wilder’s offense for large portions of the bout, and showed his inner fortitude by rising off the canvas after two hellacious knockdowns.

But neither could truly dominate the other and that opens the door to a part two where plenty of unfinished business remains.

This time out, both ring giants are vowing to emerge clearly victorious.

Wilder feels that it’s his destiny to reign supreme among all heavyweights.

“Greatness lies in me,” Wilder told reporters. “It will be an amazing feeling, my 11th consecutive title defence.

“I’m tied now with my idol, Muhammad Ali, and once I’ve beaten Fury with a devastating knockout I will go on even further to break the record and do more amazing things.

“My goal is for there to be one champion, one face, one name in the division. I’m in pursuit of that and I’m looking forward to fulfilling my goals and dreams.”

Fury, meanwhile, is ready for battle and eager to prove his own greatness.

“I’m very happy so many people have turned out for this event,” Fury recently told media. He then grabbed the microphone and bellowed: “Who’s ready for a war? “Let’s go! I’ve done everything correctly in training camp, I’ve been over here for 10 weeks and I feel on fire.

“I’m ready for anything they chuck at me. I cannot wait for Saturday. This is the biggest fight of the last 50 years in the heavyweight division with two men putting it on the line.

“The fans will be the winners because we both have a lot to lose. It’s going to be an entertaining fight.

“I’m still predicting a second-round knockout, 100 per cent.”

This Saturday, fight fans will be treated to a spectacular battle between two evenly-matched opponents with legitimate bad blood and lots left to be settled. That, right there, is a recipe for one heck of a prizefight.
