“I Have Got a Much Harder Task”- Tyson Fury Claims Deontay Wilder Is More Dangerous Than Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury, who will face Deontay Wilder on October 9, believes that he has a dangerous task on Saturday. Ahead of his WBC title defense against ‘The Bronze Bomber’, ‘The Gypsy King’ sat with Ariel Helwani and shared his views on umpteen factors. He compared the magnitude of his fight with Wilder to that of Joshua’s bout vs Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury said, “I have got a much harder task in my opinion than Joshua had. Joshua was messing with some cruiserweight, who was going to beat him on points, if he lost. I am messing with a man who can end you at any time of the day. Any time of the round with either hand. So, my task is much more dangerous. But I am much more capable. So, I welcome it.”

Deontay Wilder, with 41 KO wins in 44 fights, and two knockdowns against Fury is definitely a dangerous name. On October 9, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will have 36 minutes to connect one clean hit to end ‘The Gypsy King’.
