Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what Wilder and Deas had to say Thursday at media day, where Wilder was joined by his girlfriend Telli Swift and their eight-month-old daughter Kaorii:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>DEONTAY WILDER<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m at my very best right now. Mentally, physically and emotionally I\u2019m ready to go. Everything is perfect. I just want to get in the ring and show action. Tyson Fury doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s gotten himself into.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a true champion, I know how to adjust to any fighter that\u2019s in front of me. My experience facing fighters of all styles has prepared me for this special fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had tremendous sparring. Every day I\u2019m making adjustments and getting myself right so I can get my timing and style exactly how it needs to be. If the fight was this weekend, Deontay Wilder is ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuis Ortiz was the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division and I understand why he had never gotten the title shot before. I\u2019m the type of fighter who gives people opportunities and he was the fighter I needed to face to prove to the world what I\u2019m all about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a game for me. Everyone has heard about what it\u2019s like to be in the ring with me, but until you\u2019re in there, you don\u2019t know for sure that what you\u2019ve been hearing is for real. I\u2019m the best in the world. I don\u2019t think any heavyweight has been through what I\u2019ve been through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m training for a certain type of mission. As a fighter I have to have the mindset that I must be ready for anything. Then, once it\u2019s time for the bell to ring, I become \u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFury has height just like me and he also brings an awkward style like myself. He\u2019s rangy, mobile and he believes he\u2019s the best in the world. You\u2019ll get two giants who are athletic and move around the ring like no one else in this sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say that I have the power and he has the boxing skills. We\u2019ll see on December 1. It\u2019s a puncher versus a boxer. I think the puncher is going to box his lights out, and then I\u2019m going to knock his lights out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t watch too much film or study guys past getting their style down and seeing how they use their styles. My trainers watch film and use that knowledge to give me advice throughout the fight. I find that my opponents fight differently depending on who they\u2019re facing, so I can\u2019t dwell too much on watching past fights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>JAY DEAS, Wilder\u2019s Trainer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTyson Fury is kind of like a Rubik\u2019s cube. But a Rubik\u2019s cube can be solved. Fury is a very versatile fighter who can move, he can box and fight from lots of distances. He\u2019s the total package as a fighter and on top of that he\u2019s strong-willed mentally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have our hands full, but I know that Deontay Wilder is the guy to handle Tyson Fury. Deontay is the the right guy to take over boxing and this is the first step in that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeontay has had a fantastic camp and we\u2019ve had really good sparring partners. Fury is a tall fighter, but it\u2019s really the athleticism that makes him what he is. We believe we\u2019re better off finding more athletic guys who are slightly shorter than Fury, rather than someone his height who is a statue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately Deontay has always been a focused fighter, so keeping him right mentally I don\u2019t think will ever be a problem. Deontay can handle any chaos around him better than anyone I\u2019ve seen. When he says he\u2019s the man for this job, he really means it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tough thing with preparing for Tyson Fury is that even he doesn\u2019t know exactly what he\u2019s going to do in there. He can fight lefty, righty, dirty or clean. We\u2019re working on being prepared for all of these things and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth guys are very athletic and very awkward style-wise, but once this fight combusts, it\u2019s going to be phenomenal. You don\u2019t want to blink or go to the bathroom, the pretzel can wait, because you\u2019re going to want to catch every second of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_4d-KIZyVE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury taking place Saturday, December 1 on SHOWTIME PPV\u00ae from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
