Should he fight from the outside using his footwork and slickness to avoid the right hand or does he work his way inside behind the jab, make it a phone booth fight, and smother Wilder's big right hand?
He was knocked down by two different fighters. You can try to explain them away all you want but we saw. A blown up cruiserweight and a journeyman.
Fury has no power, no stamina, and no chin.
Fury put on his best performances after those KD's, he improved his style, took less risks, he used to enjoy brawling with guys, now he boxes.
Klitschko got Ko'd and then IMPROVED his style and went unbeaten for a decade.
Absolute morons on here, unable or unwilling to grasp that fighters can improve in their mid 20's and after 23 fights.....
Fury might want to try what Mosley did with Margarito. Rip one shot and jump in, hold on for dear life. Wrestle Wilder to tire him out. Flurry and then jump in to hold...Rinse and repeat.
The problem with this is that Wilder is faster than Fury. He's not slow like Margarito. Fury is F-U-C-K-E-D unless he sharpens his reflexes and stamina more than he's showed in his last 2 fights.
Fury is not that fighter any more. He was not in shape, didn't have a trainer in his corner, and most importantly, didn't think Cunningham was a threat.... a flash KD years ago is nothing to base this fight on lol

And you are ignoring the fact he wasn't 100% or had a trainer for Cunningham, and treated him as no threat..... Fury proved himself once Peter trained him after that fight, and improved massively, beating Abell, Chisora, Hammer and Klitschko impressively, not getting hit clean ONCE!
Fury is an enigma, a natural fighter, been doing it his whole life. He just needs to be in shape and fit and he will give ANY fighter a fight...... he has trained solidly for 10 months and has had 2 fights back-to-back for the first time in his career going into a 3 month camp to face Wilder.
NO excuses here if Wilder wins, you need to realise Fury is the best boxer in the division and does not need to fight guys like Whyte to prepare for Wilder, just like he didn't need a warm up for Klitschko.
You're getting shocked in this fight, never bet against Fury.I didnt ignore anything. I responded to your post which obviously left out the drugs and alcohol abuse and inactivity and other issues he had as if none of that impacts a fighter.
But your totally ignoring a bigger factor in the alcohol and drug abuse and depression and long layoff here. Whatever he had going against him when he was dropped twice - is no where near as much going against him over the last couple years of physical abuse. He will have to fight a perfect fight, making no mistakes and not get hit by Wilder's concussive right. Wilder will be able to make more mistakes and can still turn it around in an instant.

Should he fight from the outside using his footwork and slickness to avoid the right hand or does he work his way inside behind the jab, make it a phone booth fight, and smother Wilder's big right hand?I think he could use both of those tactics but he must be careful to avoid getting hit clean by the big straight right. When it's fairly safe to do so he should put full power into his punches. He has the punching power and skill to hurt and KO Wilder but only if he puts full power in his punches. His normal light tapping punches won't bother Wilder or slow his attack.

Keys for Fury:
Use jab. Go southpaw often when outside and circle to his own right when in that stance.
Punch Wilder to the body when in very close, watch for the uppercut or Deontay pushing off suddenly to create punching space.
Be all the way in or all the way out.
Keys for Wilder:
Stay ring center, pay attention to distance and stay right outside it, make Fury lunge with jab and counter.
Jab to Fury's body early, change his eye level, then come upstairs in combination off the jab later.
Be physical in the clinch, let Tyson know you are the stronger man.

If Wilder hits Fury clean they're going to stretcher him out of there ala Szpilka.

Fury wins outside and inside, it doesn't matter.
Fury will win every round, Wilder has to land a hail-mary.
