Tyson Fury Reacts to Deontay Wilder Being Called ‘The Most Devastating Puncher in Modern Boxing History’

The long-awaited Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder trilogy fight will soon be upon us. One of the most awaited fights of the year will take place on October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. After all the talk and all the buildup, fists will fly and bodies will fall against the mat.

This fight will have boxing fans glued to their screens with thousands in attendance, as ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury will look to put an end to his rivalry with Deontay Wilder. Wilder, on the other hand, is looking for redemption and wants his belts and his pride back.

In an interview with BT Sport Boxing, an interviewer asked Fury his opinion on Deontay ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder. The interviewer told Fury that he felt Wilder was one of the most devastating punchers in modern boxing history. Fury replied, saying, “Incorrect. I am. He was the biggest puncher in history and then I knocked him out, so that makes me the biggest puncher, the toughest puncher.”

Fury also went on to state, “He’s only a threat in somebody’s nightmares, but he’s no threat to me. What’d I say last time, I said I’m gonna drop him, I’m gonna knock him and I’m gonna smash him. This time, I’m gonna absolutely obliterate him.”

Fury is oozing with confidence ahead of their trilogy fight. A successful title defense from Fury could land him a bout against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua for the remaining belts in the division.
