Press Conference Quotes
“I’m very fit and ready, so I can’t wait. Tom Schwarz is a young, fresh and ambitious fighter, but I’m going to put on a good show as usual. It’s going to be a great night” – and other quotes from the presser HERE
Background
Both men are unbeaten but Fury has conquered the best in the world when he did the unthinkable over in Germany by dethroning the longest reigning heavyweight champion of all-time, Wladimir Klitschko (12 years). He then went to America to face the fearsome WBC champ Deontay Wilder and dominated 'The Bronze Bomber' on his home turf only to be disappointed by the scorecards calling the bout a draw after 12 thrilling rounds.
WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight champion Schwarz has been completely dismissed as a credible opponent despite his unbeaten record and respectable KO ratio. The 24-year-old German hasn't been anywhere near to the level that his forthcoming opponent has been at and this will represent a huge step up for him. However, his youth and confidence will be a factor for him going into this fight, which will be his moment to showcase what he's got to the world. He won't want to waste such an opportunity.
