Deontay Wilder: I’ll knock Tyson Fury out

deontay73By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) says the boxing world would prefer that he faces #1 WBO Tyson Fury (23-0, 17 KOs) next rather than IBF/IBO/WBAWBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (63-3, 53 KOs) in his first fight as the WBC champion.

It’s easy to see why Wilder would want to fight the 6’9” Fury first. It’s a potentially more interesting fight for him and the boxing fans, because the two of them would be trash talking each other the moment the contracts are signed.

Tyson Fury: I’ll fight Deontay Wilder next if the money is right

fury6By Scott Gilfoid: Tyson Fury (23-0, 17 KOs) says he’ll face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) next if the money is to his liking for the fight, although Fury is still leaning in the direction of facing IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in the near future if Fury gets past #3 WBO Christian Hammer (17-3, 10 KOs) on February 28th.

Fury figures that he’s worked so hard and chased Klitschko so long that he might as well face him.

Tyson Fury willing to fight Deontay Wilder next rather than Hammer

wilder092(Photo credit: Sumio Yamada) By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBO Tyson Fury (23-0, 17 KOs) says he’s willing to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) next rather than take his stay busy fight against Christian Hammer next month on February 28th. The fight is doable because Fury would then wait until the summer to face Wilder, who will need to sit out until then while his fractured hand heals.

British promoter Frank Warren, who works with Fury, is interested in setting up the Fury vs. Wilder fight next if he can get Wilder to agree to the fight this week.

Fury: Deontay Wilder fight is the only one worth making

deontay73872By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) mainly wants to face unbeaten Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) next rather than another heavyweight contender. Fury said on his social media site that he doesn’t see anyone else worth fighting other than the 6’7” Deontay.

I guess that leaves fellow British heavyweight Dereck Chisora out of luck, because Fury apparently doesn’t want to go backwards with his career to fight him after having easily beaten him badly 2 years ago.

Fury said this on his twitter “Team Fury will do anything in air power to make this fight, because its the only fight out there for me worth fighting.

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder would be a mismatch

wilder453By Daniel Mcglinchey: A match-up between unbeaten heavyweight contenders Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) and Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) would generate massive interest from the boxing world, the viewing figures would be through the roof and the press conferences would be highly entertaining.

Both fighters have a loyal set of fans that will defend them to the end but they also have a lot of critics. Deontay is from Alabama and a lot of American fans are starting to get behind the Bronze Bomber believing he is the next Heavyweight Champion of the world.

There is no denying Wilder has right hand power as he has dispatched every opponent he has faced. However, the problem is he’s faced nothing but poor opposition thus far. He’s faced pretty much 27 journeyman and Audley Harrison, a man who failed at every level and was beaten by domestic level fighters and was 41 when he stepped in the ring with Deontay.

Tyson Fury is currently in talks with unbeaten European Heavyweight title holder Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KO’s) for a final eliminator to earn a shot at Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF strap.

Fury said on his social medial site: “[Deontay] has a long way to go boy. Windmilling like a b**** and knocking out an old man. Great job. Join the cue.”
