“There’s No Pressure on Me”- Confident Deontay Wilder Smiles Away at Tyson Fury’s Intense Trash Talking

Deontay Wilder appeared tranquil ahead of his career-defining return against Tyson Fury on October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Despite Fury’s verbal provocations, Wilder didn’t seem to lose his calm in the latest presser. The former champion seemingly opted to hold in all his violence for the in-ring affair. However, he detailed how several factors favor him in winning the fight.

Deontay Wilder said, “There’s no pressure on me. And then when you have nothing to lose, it’s no pressure at all. All the pressure is on him. It’s nothing to lose. And everything to gain.”

“Your legacy only dies when the man dies when the desire and the fire is out your heart for the sport or anything that you do in life when that dies, so does your legacy. And I am well alive.”

Tyson Fury was unfazed by all these statements. The undefeated star ruled away Wilder’s chances of overpowering him and vowed to end the rivalry with a win. Well, he has all the reasons to believe so.

Following a split draw in 2018, Tyson Fury manhandled and stopped Wilder in round seven of their 2020 rematch. It was a lopsided dominance in favor of ‘The Gypsy King’.

As we stand a few days away from the fight, all the talk is done. The heavyweight stalwarts will lock horns, possibly for one last time, and end their rivalry. However, they will have one more hurdle before moving for an undisputed clash.
