“He can try and land more punches to me face and that will help his chances of winning. Usually a good idea to hit the opponent in the face as much as possible.
“There’s no secret, there’s no rocket science to boxing, although a lot of these fighters today try and make it quite technical and all this ‘downloading data’ bulls**t, I’ve never heard such bollocks in me life.
“You know, it’s two men fighting, punching each other in the face and body for 12 rounds or less, there’s no rocket science to it. You gotta train hard, get to bed early, eat right, drink plenty of water, and get stuck in best way you can,” said Tyson Fury.

Tyson Fury cannot underestimate Deontay Wilder
However, underestimating Deontay Wilder could be a huge mistake for the Fury camp.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ has given it his all to prepare for this trilogy fight on October 9. The new visible modifications in his fighting style are key pieces that he clearly lacked in the previous two fights. If he can translate his training to his actual performance on fight night, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ could prove to be a real challenge for the Englishman.
