John Fury issues chilling warning to Deontay Wilder over trilogy bout
The father of Tyson Fury believes Deontay Wilder could be left badly injured or even dead when the American faces Tyson Fury in October.
Fury vs Wilder 3 was scheduled for July 24, but a positive Covid-19 test put paid to that date and the new fight will now take place on October 9.
And while Wilder was publicly vocal about doing some serious damage to Fury at the T-Mobile Arena, Fury's camp have hit back ahead of the postponed fight.
Fury, 32, dismantled Wilder in February 2020 with a seventh-round TKO and Fury senior believes the Alabama native will get beaten up again.
Speaking to Boxing Social, Fury senior claimed Wilder's camp chose to fight Fury because they fancied their chances against the Brit.
'If he's not dead, he'll be an invalid'
AJ will 'walk straight through Usyk'
Usyk, who defeated heavyweight Derek Chisora by unanimous decision in October 2020, is stepping up from cruiserweight.
"Usyk is good. He's a world-class cruiserweight, [he's] proved it. But AJ is a big dude and he's got a good array of boxing skills and he's a big strong man. And I just think he's all around too good for Usyk," John Fury added.
