Frank Warren insists Fury beating Wilder even easier in rematch

Frank Warren insists Tyson Fury beating Deontay Wilder even easier in their rematch than in their first fight. The Gipsy King returned to the ring for the first time since his dramatic draw against Wilder in December, ruthlessly dispatching the younger, unbeaten Tom Schwarz with a flurry of punches in the second round. Fury and Wilder will square off again early in 2020 if they win their fights in the fall. “I think Tyson’s got his number, I really do,” Warren told BoxingScene.com following Fury’s second-round stoppage of Tom Schwarz on Saturday night. “Deontay can’t out-box him. We’ve seen that. He won’t out-box him. He’s probably the hardest-punching heavyweight in the last 25 years. If he catches you, as he did catch Tyson, you’re in trouble. He’s a phenomenal puncher. I always say a good boxer will always beat a big puncher. Tyson can bang himself. He can whack himself. You know, the last round, when he got off the floor, he had Deontay in a bit of trouble. He wasn’t having it all go his own way. So, I think that level playing field, he’s gonna have another fight under his belt, he’s gonna be, I think, 50 percent better than he was when he fought Deontay.” Whomever Fury fights, Warren won’t worry that he’ll get knocked off before reaching a lucrative rematch with Wilder. “He’s very athletic, he’s got phenomenal footwork, he’s got great hand-eye coordination,” Warren said. “He’s a great defensive boxer, he’s a good offensive fighter. He’s got the whole package. I just think whoever he’s in there with, they’re gonna struggle, whoever it is. And if he’s a hundred percent, and he’s where he should be, then there’s no doubt about it, in my mind, that he’ll do a job on him.”
