Wladimir Klitschko has made his prediction for Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder, before teasing a potential blockbuster comeback against the ‘Gypsy King’. Fury stepped up to fight Wilder in December 2018 in what proved to be one of the most historic fights this century.
The bout was filled with controversy in the build-up with both fighters engaging in a war of words and the contest lived up to expectations with Fury going down in the ninth only to beat the count.
Fans inside the Staples Center were left incensed as the judges scores were announced, scoring the bout as a draw.
Little over 14 months later though and the two will go toe-to-toe in the ring once again in a hotly-anticipated rematch.
And Klitschko doesn’t think Wilder will defend his heavyweight belt if the fight goes the distance.

“Either Wilder is going to knock out Fury or Fury is going to win on points,” he told The National.
“Personally, I respect Wilder a lot – he was in my training camp, we spent rounds in the ring.
“He’s a great guy and a fantastic boxer.
“As many knockouts as he has, you’ve probably no one else, in current times, any heavyweights, including me.

“Am I announcing now a comeback? No I’m not.
“Mark my words, I’m not announcing a rematch.”
