Abelardo Fernandez cites Mike Tyson knockout inspiration in warning to Wolves

Espanyol are preparing to host Wolves in the Europa League round of 32 second leg game on Thursday, February 27. First leg at Molineux Stadium ended in Wolves 4-0 win as Diogo Jota (hat-trick) and Ruben Neves got their names on the score sheet. Ahead of the game, Abelardo Fernandez spoke out on the second leg clash and compared it with Mike Tyson - Buster Douglas fight. “I know England is crazy about boxing right now because of Tyson Fury," said Abelardo. “I love boxing and I saw the Tyson fight on TV. If this tie was a boxing match then obviously Wolves are probably 90 per cent favourites to go through. “But I remember when Mike Tyson fought a complete underdog in Buster Douglas and got knocked out. Maybe we can be Buster Douglas and pull off a complete shock!” source - DailyStar
