Deontay Wilder: I’m reintroducing myself to the world
“The weight just came on,” Wilder said about his weight. “I wanted to look sexy and feel sexy. I taste sexy as well.”
“I’m bench-pressing over 350 pounds. So no matter what weight he’s coming in, I can lay on my back and lift him. So it won’t be none of that rushing me and putting all this weight on me and different things like that.”
Talking about the fight camp and what he expects from the matchup, Wilder said: “We have rejuvenated myself. We reinvented myself. Redemption is upon us. And I can’t wait to show the world what I’m all about. I’m reintroducing myself to the world as Deontay Wilder.”
Tyson Fury: I’ll send him home butchered
“It means total obliteration of a dosser,” Fury yelled when asked about coming in the heaviest he has ever been seen on the scales ahead of the fight. “Total annihilation. That’s what it means to me.”
When asked for prediction on how the fight would end, Fury said: “With him severely hurt on the floor, smashed to bits, like he’s been run over by an 18-wheeler truck.”
“He was complaining last time he had a cracked skull and an injured arm. I can’t wait for Saturday night. I’m really going to severely damage him. He’ll be unrecognizable after the fight.”
