Tyson Fury hits Los Angeles ahead of Deontay Wilder showdown

Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury hosted a Los Angeles media day Thursday at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica as he prepares to take on WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Saturday, December 1 from Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tyson Fury; "This is an important fight for boxing because it's two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line. "It's a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand and make him worry about defending my punches. "I already became a unified champion; I've crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I'm back and I'm here for good. "I'm back to reclaim my throne. Even though I've had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight. "I'm used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight, I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear. "There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It's perfect. There's nothing but a few bears and rattlesnakes. That's it as far as distractions. "I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he's going to have me ready for the challenge. "I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause."
