"You’ve got Fury, he is a switch hitter and he is going into the fight with a lot more dangerous things to watch out for - the fact that he can punch with left hand, with his right.

"He is a slugger as well, the way he went after Deontay [Wilder], nobody expected that.

"He said what he is going to do and he did it. I like guys who box with confidence like that."
