Fury ready for 'war' in Wilder heavyweight title rematch

Britain's Tyson Fury vowed to deliver a career-best performance in his upcoming heavyweight title rematch with American Deontay Wilder, expecting a "war" in their February 22 showdown at Las Vegas.

The 12-round battle of unbeaten fighters for Wilder's World Boxing Council crown is a rematch of a thrilling 2018 draw at Los Angeles.

Fury was knocked down twice by Wilder in the first fight but the 31-year-old Englishman plans a more aggressive approach for the rematch.

"Never have I been as ready and focused for one fight as I am for this fight," Fury said in a conference call Thursday. "You're going to see the best Tyson Fury that Tyson Fury can be.

"I'm match fit. I'm ready. I'm confident. I'm injury free. I'm ready for a war, one round or 12."
"My own destiny lies within my own two fists. I'll be letting them fly very aggressively."
"It's not when we get put down. It's what happens when we get back up and keep moving forward."
- Wilder 'ain't so bad' -
=========================
"I felt the power. Ain't so bad," Fury said. "I don't think it's so much his power. It's the speed he brings. It's tricky when you don't see it coming."
"None of that stuff means anything to me."
