Ahead of his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder, the reigning WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is taking no chances when it comes to Wilder's devastating punching power.
"Wilder can close that distance quick," Fury told William Hill.
"Well, he used to be able to, I don’t know what he’s like now after his loss, but he can close the distance quick and he can get a man out there with either hand. So, you’ve got to be very careful with Deontay Wilder."
The world's number one heavyweight also labelled Wilder's single punch power as the biggest threat in the heavyweight division.
"He still poses the most imminent threat to me of all the heavyweights in the division, for sure. He’s the only one with that single-punch power."
If Fury does overcome Wilder, it was hoped he'd be facing Anthony Joshua in an all-British showdown, but according to the Gypsy King, a fight with AJ is now looking very unlikely following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
"It was a terrible shame what happed to Joshua, it just killed the fight with me and him. But everyone has their own cross to bear in life and their own adherence to it, to maintain it. And that’s just another one for AJ to deal with."
