The self styled Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, has his sights set on the rematch with the “Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder ahead of his duel with undefeated Otto Wallin at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, 14th September, 2019.
“I am pleased to be back in Las Vegas. I loved my time there in my last fight and I am going to put on a show at the T-Mobile Arena,” Fury said. “Otto Wallin is a world-ranked fighter and is tall, something we want with the Deontay Wilder rematch around the corner. He is also a southpaw, which will bring its own obstacles, but I will be fully focused to get this job done because the rematch needs to happen.” Fury stated.
Swedish Otto Wallin who is the current World Boxing Association Continental Heavy Titlist and the EBU European Union Heavyweight Champion expressed his delight having secured his dream fight.
“This is the type of fight I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid and my father started showing me some boxing moves in our kitchen,” Wallin said. “I’ve made a lot of sacrifices to get to this point and I’m very happy it’s starting to pay off. I want to thank my team and my supporters for making this happen.”
The Sundsvall native admitted the fact of him being the underdog but promises to instigate a surprise come fight night.
“I know I’m an underdog in this fight, but I’m ready for this opportunity and I’m going to grab it with both hands. Anybody can get beaten, and especially in the heavyweight division. I like the fact that I have everything to gain and Tyson has everything to lose.” Wallin told the media.
