TYSON FURY revealed he is having a recurring dream that he will knock out Deontay Wilder in the second round of their rematch.
The Gypsy King, 31, challenges for Wilder’s WBC title for a second time on Saturday, 14 months removed from their contentious draw.
Things have changed since Fury outboxed but was twice dropped by the Bronze Bomber in Los Angeles.
The Brit has since linked up with US promoter Bob Arum to box on ESPN and won two bouts last year in Las Vegas to build his Stateside profile.
But he did so with young trainer and close pal Ben Davison, the man Fury credits for saving his career after ballooning up to 28st and relinquishing his world titles.
However, the 6ft 9in switch-hitter has since hired Javan ‘SugarHill’ Steward – nephew of the late, great Manny Steward – in a bid to work on power to knock out Wilder.
The Gypsy King is adamant he cannot win on points in the champion’s home country, and reckons the switch of in trainer will lead him to stop Wilder – he predicts, in round two.
Fury told the Daily Mail: “I did good in the first fight with Wilder and believe I won it despite the two knock-downs.
“People said if it's not broke don't fix it but I don't want this second one to end up with the judges.
“SugarHill's not been asked to change anything, only to add other elements. To get the knockout – and I have had recurring dreams of doing that in the second round – it's not more power I need as some are saying but better balance.
“I've always had this God-given athleticism and mobility but while that herky jerky movement puts opponents off I don't only want to make 'em miss I want to make 'em miss and make 'em pay.
“This time I will be balanced and set to make Deontay pay when he misses, by taking off his lips.”
