I\u2019ve been so happy in my camp and in my life. Everything has come together. I\u2019m just so happy to be here fighting at STAPLES Center and ready to bring the stars out for this special fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot wait for this fight. The time is coming. Only three days now. Can you feel the energy? The two best heavyweights in the world are right here. This is a moment that I\u2019ve waited for my entire career. This is my time. Tyson Fury had his time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I care about is showing people what I\u2019m all about it. I\u2019m showing you each and every time and I\u2019m giving you a knockout. America has a mighty man in me. America has the baddest man on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put in the hard work to make it here. I\u2019ve grinded and worked. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to let a man come from another country and take what I\u2019ve been building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe Fury has the confidence to come and beat me. His last opponent hit Fury with any shot he wanted. If he\u2019s going to knock me out, why didn\u2019t he knock out his last opponent? He doesn\u2019t believe he can knock me out. When I say it, I believe it. My numbers don\u2019t lie. I\u2019m going to prove it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so beautiful to have two great giants in the ring. Two great guys with great stories. We will determine who is the best. You will get to see who is the best heavyweight in the world. One champion, one face and one name. That is what I\u2019m seeking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m grateful for all the opponents I\u2019ve faced. Every fighter has brought something to the table and made me bigger and bigger. I had to prove myself over and over again. I have to show everyone with my actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means everything to me. There are so many emotions running through my body. I\u2019ve been ready for two weeks. We went through the process of camp so that we stayed sharp, but I\u2019ve been ready. I\u2019m a different breed in this sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to show you domination. I\u2019m going to show you my boxing skill. I\u2019m going to beat him, then knock him out. He\u2019s going to have to back up everything he\u2019s said to promote this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TYSON FURY<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is my anniversary today. It\u2019s been three years since I went to Germany and beat Wladimir Klitschko all over Dusseldorf to becoming heavyweight champion. I\u2019m only three days away from doing the same to the \u2018Bronze Bomber\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a fantastic training camp. We\u2019ve put nine weeks in. I can\u2019t remember a better training camp. We\u2019ve had no injuries and fantastic sparring. I\u2019m here to do a job and enjoy myself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope the boxing fans around the world are going to enjoy this as much as I will. I\u2019ve looked forward to this fight since 2011. On Saturday night, I\u2019m going to finally get my chance to punch him in the face. Deontay Wilder is getting knocked out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a long, hard road. I had many obstacles in the way. My absence from the ring has been well documented, but it\u2019s made me stronger and more determined. I\u2019ve never been as happy during a training camp as I was in this one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving Freddie Roach on the team is fantastic. He\u2019s helped us out a lot in the gym and I\u2019m glad we have him on our side. I\u2019m thrilled to have him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fire in me has been lit again. Nothing in life was given to me. I\u2019ve worked for everything I earned. I am the people\u2019s champion and I am the man who gives the people hope. I\u2019m not just fighting for myself. I\u2019m fighting for the millions of people around the world who look to me for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t need to beat Deontay Wilder to prove I\u2019m the best. I\u2019m the lineal champion. If Deontay wins, he will be the best, but he\u2019s not going to beat me. I\u2019m the best heavyweight alive, and there\u2019s only one way to get that title. You have to come take it from me. There\u2019s never been a man who could better me in a fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce I knew that I was going to box again, I knew that I would be heavyweight champion of the world again. I know that it\u2019s destiny. I\u2019m showing up on Saturday night, beating Wilder up and becoming WBC champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JAY DEAS, Wilder\u2019s Trainer<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are two very big tall guys, who are also very athletic, and that\u2019s not something you get to see very often. These aren\u2019t bulky guys who are going to hug all night. These guys are coming to fight. It\u2019s going to make it a very exciting night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically Deontay doesn\u2019t fight people as tall as he is, but he always fights people heavier than himself. That\u2019s never been an issue. As far as preparation, we felt that because of Fury\u2019s athleticism, we were better off bringing guys who maybe weren\u2019t as tall, but were very athletic. His prevailing attribute is the athleticism, more so than his height.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been great to see Deontay\u2019s growth over the years. His boxing IQ and maturity level has come so far. He realizes he needs to do what is best for his body each and every day while still getting all of the work done. He\u2019s so much healthier going through the progressions of camp than he ever used to be. He\u2019s really on point with his health, nutrition and workouts. He knows himself so well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeontay and I have been together since his very first day in a boxing gym. We\u2019ve gone through this road together. We had to look up on the internet what someone has to do to make the Olympics. We just had no experience. We\u2019ve been through it all. The ups and the downs. We\u2019re proud to be here and in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BEN DAVISON, Fury\u2019s Trainer<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese men are both so confident and have such high levels of self-belief, that they\u2019re never willing to give an inch. If it was a race to tie their shoelaces, neither one would want to lose. When they get together, it\u2019s just exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew that Tyson Fury was elite in every department, but he\u2019s even stronger mentally than I imagined. He\u2019s so confident and relaxed. Deontay will have to convince himself of things that are not true to build confidence. That\u2019s the big difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFreddie Roach is a genuinely great person who\u2019s been very accommodating and helpful while we\u2019ve trained in Southern California. You couldn\u2019t have a better person in the corner than Freddie. He\u2019s a legend in the game and we\u2019re blessed to have him in the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LOU DIBELLA, President of DIBella Entertainment<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing like a great heavyweight title fight. As goes the division, so goes boxing. There aren\u2019t truer words. I\u2019ll put a great heavyweight fight against any sporting event you can go to in the world. Saturday night at STAPLES Center, we have a great one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that Tyson Fury deserves to be here and that he presents a threat. He\u2019s a great champion who can box. He\u2019s a champion for people who have had to overcome struggles. He\u2019s back to looking better than I\u2019ve ever seen him and he\u2019s an inspiration to a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man I\u2019m lucky to be able to introduce is the best heavyweight in the world. This fight is happening because his team has worked tirelessly for years to get him this kind of opportunity. Finally, on Saturday night, there is a champion brave enough to get in the ring with Deontay Wilder and allow him to realize his dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years Deontay has been speaking to try to get this opportunity. He didn\u2019t have an easy road growing up or getting into this sport. But he\u2019s always believed in himself. He believes he has the strength to overcome all of those obstacles. On Saturday he\u2019s going to receive his just reward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FRANK WARREN, President of Queensbury Promotions<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a great fight coming up on Saturday. Team Fury has done a fantastic job getting Tyson Fury into tremendous shape. What\u2019s so significant about this fight is that today is three years to the day when he became heavyweight champion by beating Wladimir Klitschko. He went into his opponent\u2019s backyard and took the title and he intends to do the same on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see where Tyson Fury is at today is a testament to to his character. He\u2019s here as the lineal champion, undefeated in the ring and back to win his title on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been a consummate professional in training and he has a formidable opponent with tremendous power. But if boxing was about who was the biggest puncher, you wouldn\u2019t need judges. Styles will make this fight. Tyson has answered a lot of questions already and I know he\u2019s in a great place mentally to finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports &amp; Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeavyweight boxing is back. SHOWTIME has done 13 heavyweight title fights in the last four years, including three this year. I can\u2019t think of two guys I\u2019d rather do a big heavyweight fight like this with than Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth of these men have beaten the odds to make it here. Tyson Fury\u2019s obstacles have been well-documented and he will again beat the odds on Saturday night just by making it into the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho would have thought that when Deontay Wilder picked up gloves at 18-years-old, that he\u2019d be the WBC Heavyweight Champion and headlining a pay-per-view at STAPLES Center, not bad for a kid from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We\u2019re excited about this fight and we\u2019ll see you on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Undefeated heavyweight giants Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury erupted in Los Angeles on Wednesday at the final press conference for their WBC Heavyweight World Championship this Saturday, December 1 on SHOWTIME PPV\u00ae from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
