Fury will be in better shape than ever. Ben Davison comes from a personal training background and he has invested heavily on his backroom staff (strength and conditioning etc). Fury is knocking out Wilder, cannot see any other outcome.
I'm hoping he comes in at 245lbs to give himself the best chance of winning but it doesn't look like he's going to get anywhere near that. I say he's lucky if he makes 255.
Thing is Vitali kept a clean lifestyle during those 4 years. He didn't gain a single pound of weight and kept going to the gym five times a week with a healthy diet and zero drug abuse. That makes a huge difference and I think his lifestyle choices will show in Furys performance. He will gas out, he will be sluggish. You simply can't blow up to 450 lbs and not show any symptoms of your sins.
Whatever you think of Fury - almost exactly a year since the video below (when he’s enormous and his voice is croakey) he’s fighting Wilder for a heavyweight title. He’s done really well to shed the weight and get back to fighting at that level. If he wins it’ll be a huge achievement and massive credit to him and his team. I have a feeling he might do it too..
