“Preparing for an opponent like him? Challenging,” Fury said at Thursday’s press conference (watch it here). “Yet, in the States, we have a saying, ‘I’m going to knock someone out cold!’ And that’s the plan. My collaboration with SugarHill Steward has been focused on ensuring that outcome. I am confident I’ll achieve it.”
“He’s powerful and possesses a solid punch, as do I,” Fury continued. “If I weren’t, I wouldn’t hold the world heavyweight champion title. I firmly believe in the different tiers of skill in this sport. He’ll discover where I stand this Saturday.”
