Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 21 KOs), being back in the gym for a while now, has been posting back-to-back videos of hitting the punching bag or training with his coach.

After having his last fight in February against Deontay Wilder (42-1, 41 KOs), which he won by TKO in the seventh round, Fury has now been prepping for a trilogy bout against the same. The fight is most likely to happen in December this year.

After several speculations over Wilder’s physical and mental conditions over the past few months, his protege recently came forward to clear the air regarding his return. According to him, Wilder has been training hard for the third bout ever since he lost the rematch.

Now, despite winning the rematch and becoming the first person to beat Wilder, Fury has stated he still considers the former to be his biggest threat, besides Wladimir Klitschko.

The latest training video raises the possibility of Tyson Fury going to this fight with a different game-plan. He might look to use more of his lead check hook to counter Wilder’s dangerous right hand.

It would be interesting to see what changes Wilder’s camp will make in this third bout. Many people, including his opponent Fury, have labeled the American heavyweight as a “one-trick pony” due to his apparent lack of skills and over-dependence on landing the right hand in every fight.
