Mike Tyson believes Deontay Wilder has what it takes to go out there and win this trilogy bout. The legend further says it’s not time to sit around and mope, as Wilder will have to dedicate his life to that victory.

The saga of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder has gone on for a while now. With two fights in and one more to go, everyone’s asking the same question. Will Fury walk over Wilder once again, or is Wilder capable of taking this all the way to victory?

The duo’s first meeting ended in a draw. The second time around, that is this February, Las Vegas played host to the matchup. Tyson Fury walked out of the ring as the champ, with a dominating performance. He had several knockdowns in store for Wilder, ultimately forcing his team to throw in the towel in the 7th round.

For the third and final time in December of this year, Wilder and Fury will square off for the final time. The WBC belt is up for grabs and with two fights worth of experience, we can’t wait to see how this one pans out.

Mike Tyson believes this fight could go either way

In an Instagram chat with rapper Fat Joe, Mike Tyson too was asked a similar question. Tyson said this fight could go either way, as it will fall in the lap of the fighter who wants it more.

He said, “No, there’s always a chance. Everyone always has a chance. It just depends on how much they want to give in to it. If he wants to dedicate his life to really winning this fight, anything can happen.” (Report by Daily Mail)

Mike Tyson added, “Wilder can still make a lot of money. He shouldn’t feel sad or discouraged. He should continue to go out there and fight with a lot of zest and confidence. He’s feeling like he’s given up, ‘Oh my life is over, I made £72million so far but my life is over, oh lord, oh God, I wanna die’. Grow up man; let’s just keep going through this until it’s really over.”
