Tyson Fury reveals what he expects to see from Deontay Wilder in trilogy fight
Tyson Fury will have a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder later this year.
Tyson Fury expects Deontay Wilder to be a far more dangerous opponent in their trilogy fight later this year. In February, Fury ended Wilder's reign as WBC heavyweight champion with a stunning upset victory in Las Vegas.
In front of a sold-out crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Fury put on a career-best performance to register a seventh-round TKO victory - which saw him become a two-time world champion.
Six days removed from his first professional defeat, Wilder exercised the trilogy fight clause he had placed in his contract to rematch 'The Gypsy King'.
Wilder is hellbent on reclaiming the WBC throne, which he plans to claim in devastating fashion.
Fury is expecting to face a supremely motivated Wilder in their third encounter and believes the American will be an even bigger threat than he was in their previous meetings.

More dangerous than the last fight, for sure
"Heavyweight boxing takes one punch," the WBC king told Sky Sports. "Dismantle Deontay Wilder? It only takes one punch off Deontay Wilder.
"Still a very dangerous opponent, still a very hungry man, who is coming in there to prove his worth, to prove he can come back and become a two-time heavyweight champion.
"More dangerous than the last fight, for sure.
"Do you know what? It's just a boxing match. It's a boxing match, I don't look at it like anything else. You win some, you lose some. You never can tell."

The coronavirus outbreak scuppered plans for the third instalment of Fury vs Wilder, which was set to take place in July.
The pair's third meeting has been pushed back until October, although the global pandemic has prompted Fury's American-based promoter - Bob Arum - to scout other potential venues.
Fury has no preference where the fight takes place, adding: I'm looking forward to the challenge, whenever that may be.
"I'll get over there, nice and early, eight to 10 weeks beforehand. Put in a good, gruelling training camp. Hopefully, I'll be injury-free and we'll go out there and dance beneath the stars, in front of the world after the coronavirus.
"God willing everything goes to plan, and we both get out the ring safely, and go back to our families in one piece, and the show continues to the next one, whatever that may be.
"I'd love to get out there and do what I do best, boxing, but it's out of my hands.
"It's out of everybody's hands, apart from people who are running the world, and unfortunately, I'm not one of those, and I'm glad I'm not because that job is difficult.
"Much more difficult than taking punches in the face for money."
