Fury, Fighting Wilder for the third time in Vegas on Saturday is like befouling around, “clipping wires on an atomic bomb”.
Facing a wounded Wilder is a dangerous task, even if it is not for the WBC champion Fury or the fans were hoping for.
The Brit preparation, however, has been far from ideal.
The original summer fight date was scrapped when Fury got infected with Covid-19 and was quickly rescheduled for October. Fury then had to rush home to the UK to be with his wife Paris when she went into labour with her sixth child with Fury, Athena, who spent several days in intensive care unit.
To say it’s been a disorderly few months for Fury is an understatement.
With all that has happened, it is not hard to see why some might have questions about Fury’s readiness for this fight. And he cannot afford even a moment’s lapse of concentration against the Bronze Bomber.
“Wilder is tailor-made to be his most dreaded and perfect opponent,” said Fury’s coach Sugarhill Steward the man who masterminded the devastating performance against Wilder in the rematch 20 months ago.
Fury pokes fun at suggestions he is not prepared for Wilder, or that he is not fully fit.
“Am I 100%? I’m a million percent. Look at me, I’m in perfect shape. I’m as fit as a fiddle,” Fury said. “I’m ready today, tomorrow and forever. I’ll always be ready.
