Tyson Fury can beat Deontay Wilder because of one thing he has already done – Mike Tyson

By Jack Phillips Dec 1, 2018

Tyson Fury and Wilder will face off in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning in a showdown that has captivated the imagination of the boxing world.

Many are tipping Deontay Wilder, who has won all 40 of his professional bouts so far, to reign supreme.

Fury has recently returned to the scene, beating Sefer Seferi and Francesco Planeta, but those two fights are his only ones since beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

He has overcome many barriers on the way back to the top and has spoken at length about his mental health issues.

And Tyson believes Fury can spring a major shock because of how he has overcome so many problems.

?Although Wilder?s punch is strong, nothing can compare to the mental strength Fury has shown, both in and out of the ring,? Tyson said.

?It?ll be a close call, but I think Fury?s got a true fighting chance.?

In August, Fury revealed he had ?lost the urge to live? when his mental health problems were at their worse.
