DEONTAY WILDER plans to target Tyson Fury’s belly in their Las Vegas trilogy fight.
The former WBC heavyweight champion will bid to avenge his seventh-round TKO defeat to the Brit on October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena.
Wilder, 35, was battered from pillar to post in his rematch with Fury last February but plans to strategically ‘break down’ the Gypsy King with nasty body shots.
His new assistant coach, Don House, told 78SPORTSTV: “Malik [Scott] has done a wonderful job with him.
“He’s done a wonderful job—those body shots.
“I’d rather get hit in the head than the body. Deontay has always been focused on knocking guys out to the head.
“We’re not going to do that in this fight. We’re going to box him and going to break down the body.
“He [Wilder] loves the body. It’s a bigger target, and you’ve seen Fury’s body on how big a target it is.
“It’s an easy target to hit. We’re going to maintain and stay in that area, and put the money in the bank, then break him down and knock him out.”
Wilder recently enlisted the services of House in a bid to help avenge his sole professional loss.
And the former UFC cutman believes the Bronze Bomber has made great strides since he was brought into camp.
He added: “As a trainer for Deontay Wilder, everyone knows he’s got that bomb. If he catches you with that, you’re going to sleep.
“I saw a lot of things in Deontay that he didn’t see himself.
“But when you have that bomb, when you can crack with that right hand a lot of times, you rely just on that.
