Fury: I will quit if I lose fight to Wilder

Tyson Fury claims he will step away from boxing if he can’t beat Deontay Wilder in their WBC heavyweight world title rematch in Las Vegas.

The two square off on Sunday and Fury has been at his outrageous best in the leadup to the fight.

As the two fighters fronted media at the MGM Grand, Fury indicated the consequences of losing his unbeaten record would be instant.

The loser can activate a rematch clause to set up a trilogy following their dramatic draw in Los Angeles in late 2018, but that doesn’t appear to be an option for Fury.

‘‘If I cannot beat Deontay Wilder then I’m no good. I will not go down as a great or a champion,’’ said Fury, wearing another of his trademark suits featuring his own face.

‘‘I would just go back to Morecambe and never sniff boxing again. And I doubt I’d ever see him again.

‘‘He wouldn’t come to Morecambe and I’m certainly never going to live in Alabama.’’

But Fury isn’t anticipating a loss. He was in prime fight talk as he eyed getting hold of Wilder’s WBC belt.

‘‘Deontay’s punches will bounce off me because I’m bullet proof,’’ said the big Brit who got off the canvas twice in their first fight.

‘‘I look at Wilder and I don’t see a tough fight. I see a longlegged pussy that I’m going to break in. I am going to give him his first loss. That’s what I’m going to do to Deontay Wilder.

‘‘The Gypsy King is going to dethrone him, rip his heart out and feed it to him. It’s Las Vegas. I want to put on a show. Wilder is not going to beat me.

‘‘His power is not going to hurt me. I want a knockout this time. I’d prefer to go down swinging than outbox him and not get the decision.

‘‘I’m going to make it so that I’m in control and I take it out of anybody’s hands. I’ll step him up until he can’t go anymore, until he is going to quit or he is knocked out.

‘‘The only good man he has ever faced was me and I beat him after three years out and being as weak as a robin with two shoulders on me like coathangers.

‘‘Let’s not make any mistakes – Deontay Wilder has fought 35 stiffs. Honestly, over here in America they call his level of opposition ‘tomato cans’. He has probably had seven competitive fights where people have actually tried to fight back.

‘‘The rest were duck-egg dummies. Over here fighters get built up to 20-0. His KO power and ratio is padded.’’
