While talking about his strategy to defeat Tyson Fury, Bowe stated, “You know, I’m going to jab at him, then I’m going to break a rib or two. Guys aren’t going to his body. Let him stand strong and as time progresses he’s keeping that posture and you’re not breaking him down. So you ain’t busting his heart. You ain’t stopping his liver and things of that nature. You got to do the things that’s going to make him tired, they are not doing that.”
