Deontay Wilder will knock ‘vulnerable’ Tyson Fury out ‘inside five rounds’, trainer claims
- Lewis Oldham
- 25 August 2021
"I've never seen Tyson Fury fight and say: 'Wow he is unbeatable'. On his best day he looks good but still looks beatable…”
The second rematch came about after an arbitration case ruled Fury had to defend his WBC belt against Wilder.
Fury had been in talks to fight Anthony Joshua, with the unification bout now on the backburner. AJ is instead going to fight Oleksandr Usyk at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
Both Wilder and Fury have been out of the ring since the latter won their second meeting via a seventh-round TKO in February last year.
In the aftermath, The Bronze Bomber parted ways with long-time trainer Mark Breland.
Wilder is now working with Scott. His current trainer was knocked out by the former world heavyweight champion when they faced off in March 2014.
Scott has been speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the trilogy fight. He believes that Fury is "beatable" and that Wilder's "mentality is very violent".
He said: "Fury fights with his hands down, at times with his chin up, at times he comes forwards, at times he is close with his hands down.
Can Wilder avenge his loss?
After 18 months of waiting, the build-up to this third fight has been strange all-round.
The talk coming out of Wilder's camp from Scott and the fighter himself has been promising. He does appear to be fully focused on regaining his world title in brutal fashion.
This long break could have done the American good and we may well see a completely different version of him compared to the last fight.
A new, improved Wilder is definitely needed. If he has not improved enough, Fury is capable of dominating his opponent like he did last year.
The Bronze Bomber has shown he can hurt Fury and any heavyweight out there. But Fury is too good a boxer for Wilder just to rely on one big shot to get the victory.
