Wilder v Fury II: Tyson Fury fears he will not get a points decision in the United States
With less than six weeks to go until Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury meet again in the ring, the two heavyweights have come face to face for the first time since they fought to a dramatic draw in November 2018.
On 22 February, Briton Fury will again challenge WBC champion Wilder - this time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
So what happened when two of the most outspoken and controversial characters in the fight game met at a news conference.
Once they settled into their seats, it was no surprise both fighters had plenty to say.
In the news conference held in Los Angeles to promote the fight, Fury added: "They had to rob a man who had been out of the ring for three years and they still couldn't beat him.
"I'm not coming here for a points decision, I've had too many of them - nine of them - I'm coming here for a knockout, I've had 21 of them and from the heart that's what I'm looking to do.
"This is why I employed Sugar Hill. If I didn't want a knockout, I wouldn't have hired a Kronk [the famous Detroit gym] trainer. If I didn't want a knockout, I'd have kept Ben Davison and working on that herky-jerky style."
"You're going to sleep in two rounds," Fury told Wilder. "I keep having the same dream and when I'm playing poker I keep getting dealt two. It's definitely a thing. He is getting knocked out in two.
"I want him to meet me in the middle of the ring and the best man wins. I'm going to give him a boxing lesson."
Despite knocking Fury down twice in their original meeting, many pundits thought Wilder deserved to lose on points.
This time, the American, who is unbeaten in 43 fights, said: "It's called unfinished business and he won't be able to get back up. I'm going to knock him out.
Wilder put Fury down heavily in the 12th round of their first meeting and Fury sarcastically replied to comments he is scared it will happen again.
In a seven-minutes monologue, Wilder described himself as "the lion... the king of the jungle" and come 22 February I'm going to rip his head off his body. I'm going to knock him out of those ropes."
After their news conference, Fury and Wilder - who appeared on good terms after their first fight - engaged in a lively face-off.
Wiler (DW): I said I am going to baptise you. I did that.
Fury (TF): I am still waiting to be baptised. You're listening to me now, getting some class with some suit on. I've given you some dress sense, you sucker. Two rounds and you're out. You've even got a nose piercing.
DW: I want you to be terrified. It's not going to be pleasurable.
TF: I am so frightened. I was so frightened last time, wasn't I?
DW: It's OK to be nervous. That's human.
TF: I am nervous. Look at me, I'm quaking
