And his former sparring is convinced Fury’s power will shock the American Wilder – who has KOed every one of his opponents - and the world.

But during an Instagram Q&A session this week, Allen insists the 30-year-old will win by ‘KO inside 6.’

And having shared a ring with the likes of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko as well as the 6ft 9in star, The White Rhino previously told who the heaviest puncher really is.

Allen said: “I’m at British title level but Fury can beat me with one arm tied behind his back. He’s that good.

“I’ve said for years that Fury is the heaviest puncher I’ve ever been in the ring with.

“When he sits down on his punches, I’ve never been hit so hard.

“To be honest, I think he simply enjoys inflicting pain and annoying people with his talent.

“He could sit down on his punches and knock people out but he enjoys boxing and annoying people.”

Fury is going into the fight as underdog after his problems over the past two years.

Many experts and pundits believe his only real chance of winning the gold will come via a points decision.

But Allen’s comments could force many of his doubters to change their minds.

The lineal heavyweight champion of the world has a record of 27 wins from 27 fights, with 19 coming by way of knockout.

'HORRIBLE FEELING'

JOHN FURY says he's "destroyed" at the realisation that he won't be in the US to watch his son, Tyson, take on Deontay Wilder in their WBC heavyweight title showdown.

Fury and Wilder go head-to-head in Los Angeles on December 1, however Fury Sr, who has had a monumental impact on his son's boxing career, won't be there in his corner.

John, himself a former bare knuckle fighter nicknamed 'Gypsy John', is prohibited from entering America because of his criminal record.
