Beyonce Wilder is the biggest bum in the history of boxing

It really doesn't matter how much he trains tbh. He's TERRIFIED of Fury and no amount of training is going to change that. He shouldn't be going into the ring in this state of mind.

Bench pressing 310 lbs isn't going to make any difference to the price of chips once those punches from Fury start coming in.

310lb. bench isn't all that impressive. The smaller guys I played football with in High School could do 10 reps of that fairly easy. And they were like 180lbs. Wilder better hope he trained those neck muscles to help his chin and strengthen those weak legs so his Wakanda outfit doesn't weigh him down.

Wilder already comes in to his fights in great shape. What he should do is increase his leg strength.
But if I was his coach I'd look only at ways of slowing Fury down (which seems odd when we are talking about someone the size of Fury).
Slow down his movement by targeting his body.
Slow down Fury's offence by making sure Wilder's left arm is a great enough threat that Fury has to take it into account. Double jab and left hook to the body.
Not sure Wilder is humble enough or mentally flexible enough to learn that though. Old dogs, new tricks etc.

He can train all he wants. Fury is just the better fighter.

I've been watching his interviews and they remind me of somebody with PTSD. I think he's lost it mentally.

Why didn't anyone on his team tell him he needed to put mass on those stick legs? Lol

I have a heart and feel for Deontay. You talk about trying too hard, well here is that guy. It can only end in tears and broken egos. A shame but he's a stubborn fella.

Wilder can train as much as he wants to, and he's always in top shape anyway.

Wilder doesn't have the skills to compete with Tyson Fury, and he never will do.
