Deontay Wilder thinks less gung-ho approach in Tyson Fury rematch will see him KO Brit rival

DEONTAY WILDER has promised to be "calmer" during his rematch against Tyson Fury - but still vowed to knock his opponent out.

The two heavyweights are set to go at it again in the early part of 2020 after their controversial draw in December.

Fury was floored twice, including a brutal battering in the 12th, but most people had him running out a clear winner on points.

The judges ringside, however saw it differently, and both men had their arms raised at the end.

Now Wilder has promised to get the job done in Part II, and has assured fans that it is happening and that fans should "stay tuned".

Speaking to William Hill, the Bronze Bomber said: “I’m going to be more calmer, take my time this time.

“I am going to knock him out, but just in a more calmer fashion and more dramatic fashion.

WILDER SET FOR ORTIZ NEXT

“The rematch is definitely going to happen, for sure. I’m looking forward to it, I hope their team is looking forward to it.

“Just like the first one that was full of excitement, the second will be just as full with excitement as well. So I’m looking forward to it, stay tuned to that."

Wilder is set to have another rematch next, this one against Luis Ortiz, who he KO'd in 2018.

Fury will take on little-known Swede Otto Wallin in Las Vegas on September 15.

Wilder added: “I know we’ve got a lot of competition ahead before that fight.

"I’m putting my belt on the line, I’m going up against [Luis] Ortiz first, that’s going to be another risk taker that I’m risking my title for.

“But when I overcome that it’s going to make me an even better fighter and it’s going to make the Tyson Fury fight that much more interesting.”
