lennox lewis on the boxer to listen. lennox lewis on the fence there.l be a little bit ofa on friday there will be a little bit of a difference there. the nevada state athletic commission have barred the head to head shot so you will not fighters coming close together. they say they do not want any shenanigans like we saw a at the final press conference where both fighters were pushing each other, they say that is not the image they wa nt to they say that is not the image they want to project of the sport. it is highly unusual but a preventative measure to make sure the fight goes through as planned with no injury to any fighter. what i suspect is a raucous atmosphere because the arena whether fighters held we expect a few thousand fans to be shoehorned in and the majority of them will be fanciful fury. british fans have travelled here over the last few days so it could be a lively atmosphere. for the fighters they will just be atmosphere. for the fighters they willjust be glad to get all the media activities out of the way and then focus on what is the

i've spoken to lots of people who have descended on vegas this week, the likes of david haye, lennox lewissterday, there was a raucous atmosphere, the majority being tyson fury fans. deontay wilder getting heckled by some of tyson fury supporters. they didn't have the tradition face—off, they stood about five metres apart, still squared up to each other, still exchanging rebel ploughs, neither man is going to give any ground. this what they had to say afterwards. deontay wilder said that this was his home country, but i told him that las vegas is mine. the fans have turned out to see the gypsy king. all my fans are here! i have always had to fight guys bigger than me, that is only going to slow him down. holding the weight on me, i'ma rock with it, swinging with it, rock with it, let him bring it on. let him bring his weight, i'm telling him, don't blink. in las vegas, there are events all the time, but you know it's a big event when all the people are talking about is the fight, then you know it's a big occasion. they talk about this being the most significant heavyweight fight since the

you think of the great fighters, lennox lewis, mike tyson, evander holyfield, joe fraser, muhammad aliheir punch power. fury has always tried to outbox his opponents, but he decided last night he wasn't going to leave it in the hands of the judges as he did 1a months ago in los angeles against deontay wilder, he clearly won the fight but it was a controversial draw. this time he wasn't going to leave it in the hands of the judges, and he beat the guy up, and the towel came in. i have been coming to vegas for 22 years, and it was the most astori performance i have ever seen here. to him saying, i probably got lucky, luck has probably got nothing to do with it? no, he was born to it. i had the privilege of going into his dressing room before the fight for a few minutes to observe him, and he really is an extraordinary character. he was dancing around in there to james brown, not the actualjames brown, obviously, but to his music. ijust think he is so happy to be alive, that he didn't kill himself one day in his ferrari, he thought about it. he isa in his ferrari, he thought about it. he

i generally believe he is the hardest hitting heavyweight in history and i say that, lennox lewis isd i truly believe that for someone who is not that heavy, only around 16 stone, his speed and timing is such that if he hits anybody on the chin, ed bearman a mum, you're hitting the deck. what about his technical ability? people say of tyson fury doesn't go down and uses his boxing ability, he wins, is he that good technically? on paper his technique doesn't work that effective forcible michaeljohnson project doesn't work that effective forcible michael johnson project running techie didn't look as good but that didn't stop him from the lipid. said... he would use to win his fight all by knockout. to be a knockout specialist you cannot have a tried and tested cell, you need something different from different angles and that is what wilder does. he throws wild angles. it's difficult to prepare with someone throwing shots from this angle and oi'ies throwing shots from this angle and ones coming down. he is so unorthodox and effective, it is difficult to beat him. the only person who cou
