Wilder vs. Fury II – Major Quotes

Ahead of the rematch, Fury noted that Wilder is terrified and nervous. He also noted that he is going to knock out Wilder.

“Wilder is very nervous. I can see his jumper going in and out from the big heart beat pounding out of his chest. He’s terrified. He’s nervous as hell. He doesn’t know what to expect, and he’s getting knocked out,” Fury said.

Wilder had a similar opinion on Fury.

“He’s concerned and worried.I see that he’s nervous when I look into his eyes. Let’s face it, when you don’t know how you got dropped to the ground, or how you got up because you were so badly concussed, it’s a problem. It’s always in the back of your mind, like, this could happen again … and that’s why he switched trainers,” Wilder noted via boxingscene.com.
