Andy Lee: "He pretty much did what he was doing every day in the gym"

"He approached this with the same attitude in terms of...his mindset. You could see in the entrance he sucked it all up. He was present, in the moment, sucked up the gameplan...he took two good right hands in the first round. He walked through the right hands. Broke Wilder's heart slightly...he performed fantastic. We were on edge in the corner, thought he was going to switch off, he was having it all his own way. He could have finished it earlier...i'm so relieved, it's been such work. You might see the glamour from the outside, but it's gym and back, gym and back. Sugarhill is the man of the moment."

 

"Kronk mother****ers. I always wanted to say that."

Sugarhill Steward.

 

"I didn't tell Tyson what we wanted to do. He told me what he wanted to do." - Sugarhill.

 

"This was Tyson's plan. I don't want to take the credit." - Sugarhill.

 

"I thought it was a good performance given that i'm a fat pig and i can't fight and i can't punch." - Tyson Fury.

 

"I've had the highs and lows, if he wants a rematch, give it him again, then there's a boy across the pond who might want it." - Tyson Fury.

 

"I got caught in round one, bang, big right hand, but i answered him right back, bang, was hurt, felt it for sure...the thing is, Wilder was demoralized coming into this fight. He cherry picked me last time, it was a dare to be great move by me. But good luck to Deontay and his career...keep it long, keep it calm, i rushed it at times, hit him with a body shot, buried him with a body shot BOOM...to be honest, i was al ittle bit disappointed, i wanted to punish him more." - Tyson Fury.

 

"I been doing this a long time and this is the best performance by a British boxer in the ring. It's the best moment, for me, selfishly, for me, he deserves it, the best comeback, the biggest comeback in sport. It's special...he was the home fighter! Like we were in Manchester! He owned Vegas, he owned Deontay Wilder. I could sense that Wilder was not looking forward to this. I said to Bob Arum, "'he's going to knock him out, he will knock him out", we had a good day." - Frank Warren.

 

"He's got everything. He's the biggest attraction in world boxing, bar none...can Wilder beat him in a rematch? No, impossible to win it without a cut or something. " - Frank Warren.

 

"That body shot threw him sideways. I've never seen anything like that! He's phenominal, he doesn't look like [muscle heavy heavyweights]. Nobody can dispute that Fury is number one. AJ's belts are the belts Fury vacated! I know what the result would be of that fight. I know. AJ's in his slip stream. Eddie's got his face pressed up against the glass. 50-50. Should be 70-30 really!" - Frank Warren.

 

He's right this time though.

 

"I didn't think he should have thrown the towel in. Deontay is a shield kind of guy. He's a big puncher. Deontay is doing well. He'll be back, he'll be better for it, congratulations to Tyson and his team, a class act all the way around. I'm the head coach, but we do things a bit differently. Ours is more like a football team, the head coach doesn't necessarily call the play. What happened between the round - during the round - Mark said something about throwing the towel in, I told him don't do that, and then I saw the towel. I haven't talked to Mark about it." - Jay Deas
