Wilder has claimed Fury’s fists are like ‘pillows’ since their first bout and when asked about this, Fury had a brilliant comeback at the ready.

He added: “I’m going to make sure they’re [my fists] are going to be extra ducked down feather goose pillows, just for him.

“And you know what happens when you’re on an extra ducked down feather goose pillow, don’t you? You go to sleep nice and easy!”

Fury went the full twelve rounds with the WBC heavyweight champ when they last met.

Wilder has a reputation for packing a very powerful punch but Fury was quick to dismiss this suggestion.

On how hard Wilder punches, Fury added: “It ain’t so bad, it ain’t so bad at all. If it was that bad I wouldn’t have got up in round twelve!

“It’s not what he believes it is. He believes he’s some big knockout king or whatever. He put me down twice and I got up and rattled him all over the ring. He doesn’t hit that hard does he?

“Everyone he’s fought, he’s knocked out, apart from the Gypsy King. He had me down twice and had over two minutes in both rounds to finish me…he was trying his best and he just couldn’t do it.

“So when you can’t do it having had the opportunity twice, what would ever possess this idiot to think he’s going to do it a third time?”

“From the first fight I learnt that if I’m any good at all, then I’m going to beat him in this rematch. If I’m totally useless, I’ll lose. No pressure on me, like!

“I can’t do anything about judges’ decisions, worse things have happened in a boxing contest. That’s why we get to do it again and put it right. The record will be set straight this time.”
