Lennox Lewis provides his predictions for Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury(27-0, 19 KOs)  will fight Deontay Wilder(40-0, 39 KOs) for the WBC World heavyweight title in Los Angeles on December 1. The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Lennox Lewis has had his say on who he believes will win in this weekend's clash. "Deontay Wilder if it ends early, Tyson Fury if it goes the distance," is what Lewis believes. "If Fury can frustrate Wilder the way he did Wladimir Klitschko he can get the decision even in America. But if Deontay catches Tyson anywhere to the head with that huge raw power it will change the course of the fight at any given moment. It should be exciting and explosive because styles make fights. So it's a question of which style wins? Neither of them has faced an opponent like the other before. "Wilder hasn't been in with anyone as mobile as Fury, so can he catch him? Tyson won't find it as easy to avoid Deontay as he did Wladimir because this guy can move and throw. And as I say Wilder doesn't have to punch you on the chin or temple to knock you out. "When he hits anyone in the world anywhere on the head down they go, concussed. How will Fury react? He's proved he's a survivor in the past but will he be able to get up again from something this heavy? "On the other hand, how will Deontay deal with Tyson taking the Mickey in the very serious business of heavyweight boxing? With Fury, it's taught me if you can. It's now you see my face, now you can't hit it. Wilder could get too frustrated. It's impossible to know the outcome."
