Who will win?
“Klitschko knows that if Tyson gets past his guard, he has problems. He’s been knocked out three times before. He knows when he’s hit, he can’t get up. But he says, ‘no, that ain’t going to happen to me. He has stayed at the top by being super fit, he’s worked out his feet, he’s a very negative fighter who has precision with his shots and he doesn’t take chances.” – Peter Fury, Tyson’s uncle and trainer.
“It’s a very hard fight. It’s going to be a good fight. Whenever Fury is in the building it’s an entertaining fight. You never know what Tyson will do – he might start singing before, he might start singing after.” – Dillian Whyte, heavyweight boxer.
