[indistinct conversations] [Lennon] Ladies and gentlemen,
a very good afternoon to you. Thank you for coming. We welcome you here
in Los Angeles, not too far from the site
of Saturday night's big event, just down the road
at Staples Center. [Wilder]
Jim, what's up, baby? [Gray] You ready? More than ever.
I can't wait, man. -Stay the course.
-Yeah. -You know what to do.
-Matter of time. This is the hard part --
waiting. -[vocalizing]

like to invite our fighters and their teams to join me
on the stage. Fight week is here. Two undefeated giants
of the sport risking their undefeated record and fighting and meeting
each other for the WBC and lineal heavyweight
championship of the world. Consider this a prelude
to the larger fight at stake -- returning glamour and prestige to boxing's most storied
division. [Lennon] Introducing
"The Bronze Bomber"... The reigning American champion,
poised to solidify his claim... You got this, baby. ...that he belongs
among the greats. [Wilder] I say I'm the best.
I know I'm the best. But I want to show
everybody else what I've been saying all along. [Fury] He tried to make it
in football and basketball, and he couldn't make it
'cause he wasn't good enough. Wilder came to this
as a third option. I came to this out the womb. I was born to do this. [Lennon]
..."The Gypsy King"... The fallen champion,
his only loss against himself, looking to prove he holds
the strength to rise again. Two and a half years
of drug and alcohol addiction. It's almost like it's destiny. It seem like you got some of
that sugar candy into your nose right now,
the way you act, baby. I'm gonna be
your rehab. Two undefeated fighters -stand in each other's way...
-I cannot wait. ...battling to seize control of
a renewed heavyweight division. You think I'm gonna bring you

Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Saturday night
will be the fight. Y'all better have the ambulance

what do you make of that? What do you make of that? -[Man] ...you!
-[laughter] [Man] Sorry, Tyson. ... Who hit him, Shane? -Ewan, did you catch him?
-[Man] Yeah. [Shane] When he got punched
in the teeth...hisself. When he got punched --
"Stop, guys!" ...houses. How do you get in a man's face
and want to fight someone? What's he done?
Poke you in the eye? You should've
head-butted him. He end up initially putting
his hands on me, and then I went for the throat. He's scared, man. I've done this.
I'm 40-0 with 39 kayos. He's scared of me,
and he should be. I just spoke to Deontay, and he
says you're not in his head. Well, I beg to differ, because
it clearly looks like I am. It's enough talking. They've seen the hard work,
the grind, the trials and tribulations. They seen that been overcome. To be the undisputed,
the undefeated, unified heavyweight champion
of the world... They don't have the power to... It's fight week in Los Angeles. After months of tough talk
and punishing training, the time to deliver
on promises made draws near. Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury have little reason to doubt
their bold proclamations because so far, they've always
backed up their claims. Has he ever faced anyone
with your boxing IQ? No.
Definitely not. What's he gonna do,
throw punches at me? Wow.
Shocking. Wilder has got a lot of chinks
in his armor. I feel it, bro.
You can't feel the power? You can't feel this energy?
Oh, my goodness. [Man]

Let's go. Bomb Squad! [indistinct conversations] [vehicles passing] [Fury]
Excuse me, sir. Have you ever heard of somebody
called Deontay Wilder? Mm, I don't think so. -No? Thank you very much.
-Soccer player? No. The heavyweight champion
of the world, from America. Didn't know that. Well, then now you do. ♪ down-tempo music plays ♪ If Tyson Fury
radiates confidence, that's because he shocked
the world once before. In his last title fight, he ended Wladimir Klitschko's
11-year reign. But that was
over two years ago. And now, with his wife, Paris,
at his side, he's returning
to a familiar playbook -- taunting his opponent
any way he can. -Are you guys American?
-Yeah. You don't know who your own
heavyweight champion is? -No.
-It's not me, so... [Paris]
Tyson is crazy. Yeah, he is a bit crazy.
He always been. It was the first thing
that really attracted me to him when I met him at 15, 16, was that he was so different
to everyone else, besides the fact he was 6'7"
and had a beard at 16. I mean, but he was different
to anyone I'd ever seen. He knows who I am --
Tyson! Tyson...Fury! -Yeah!
-Yeah! You gonna knock him out
or what? -I'm gonna knock him out.
-Yeah? -Good luck, man.
-All the best. I wish you the best of luck,
okay? Thank you. [horn honking] [Paris] The thing with boxing
with Tyson, especially when he had
his couple of years out there, boxing keeps him
in a good place. And I know he loves it. It keeps him healthy.
It keeps him happy. So to encourage him
to keep going, I think it would be good for him
to box for a long time. Zoom in on this. One year ago today. [Fury]
I was close to 400 pounds and out of shape
and no will to live. And now the world's my oyster,
and I feel so, so happy. And I didn't I would ever get
to be this happy again. [Paris] People keep saying this
at home -- When I was coming over, they
kept saying, "Are you excited?" But if someone you knew
was going out tomorrow and having a fight,
would you be excited for them? No. It's not a game.
It's not a match. It's -- It's a fight. So it's pretty hard
to deal with. [Rapaport] Live from
Firehouse 3, Bomb Squad. You know I like
...talkers. Yeah. And this guy you're fighting,
he's a big-time ...talker. So I like to see
big-time ...talkers, especially British ones,
get their...kicked. He's trying to get in my head,
and he can't, you know? I've done been through too much
in life. I done heard too much,
you know? You can't get in my head, but you will pay
for every word that you said. And this is the time. Saturday night is the time
that everything that he said, I can apply it against him. I can't wait for you to kick

Fury has had to climb a mountain to get back to this point
of his career. But can he overcome the most
destructive puncher in the sport in Deontay Wilder? [Lennon] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the hard-hitting, reigning and defending undefeated WBC heavyweight
champion of the world, "The Bronze Bomber,"
Deontay Wilder! [Ranallo]
The pomp and pageantry of the most important ring walk
of his career. Deontay Wilder wants to be
the last man standing. He wants to be king. Tyson Fury says he is living
in Deontay Wilder's head rent-free. Deontay Wilder says Tyson Fury
has to be perfect for the whole fight -- he only has to be perfect
for one second. -Going to school, bruv.
-Be quiet while I'm speaking. Listen and obey my commands
at all times. Fight hard and fight clean.
Good luck. He has no idea what he's
about to get in there with. -It's time.
-He has no idea. -[bell rings]
-[Ranallo] Round 1! We are about to learn
the truth. Be first and third, D. That's it.
Yeah. Just make him overreach.
That's the only goal. [Ranallo]
Fury -- perpetual motion. Deceptively quick
for a man his size. Come on, Tyson. [crowd cheering] [Ranallo]
Wilder hunting. [Bernstein] The one thing
Tyson Fury does not want to do is get caught on those ropes. He's getting closer and closer,
Mark. [Davison] Keep taking
the distance from him, okay? Listen. I know there's opportunities
now, but don't take them
right now, yeah? Don't get greedy
or complacent. You'll have more success
as the fight goes on! [Crowd] [chanting]
U.S.A.! U.S.A.! [Ranallo]
An incredible atmosphere. Chants now of "U.S.A."
in support of Deontay Wilder, but if anyone thought Tyson Fury
was coming to hostile territory, that's not been the case, Al. [Bernstein] Of course,
the thing we're all mindful of every second of this fight is the right hand
of Deontay Wilder. Now we're cooking.
Now we're cooking. We're in rhythm now. [Ranallo]
Wow. Fury just out of reach. Missing him.
Come on, Tyson. [Bernstein]
Some of these punches by Wilder are just whistling by the ear
of Fury. [Malignaggi]
You see Wilder sometimes starts to close
the distance just a little bit, but those herky-jerky feints open up the distance
for Fury again. [Ranallo]
Fury smiling at Deontay Wilder. Master of the mind games. Look at Fury and Wilder
going at it. Don't get greedy!
Just keep that distance! [Ranallo] Oh! And there's a sweeping left hook
upstairs by Wilder! Go, baby!
Go, baby! [crowd cheering] [Ranallo] And again
Deontay Wilder's offense being muted by Fury. [Davison]
Okay. Listen. You're embarrassing him
boxingwise, yeah? You will beat him
with your left hand alone. You're that much better
than him, okay? [Malignaggi] Deontay's trying
so hard to load up a big shot that he's giving it away
what he's trying to do. He's got to start realizing
that he can't allow Fury to get these 10-9 rounds
in the bank. We need to
pick this round up. [Bernstein] You can feel one
part of the Fury game plan -- When Wilder misses,
he is like a robot to throw his counter to try
and take advantage of that. Wilder continues to throw
the right hand wide. It's a bit
of a different challenge for him to throw it straight
maybe against a bigger guy. Deontay starting to look
befuddled in this fight. [bell rings, crowd cheering] [Swift]
Ooh, I'm stressed out. This cannot be a decision fight.
It can't. [Malignaggi]
It's getting to that point where you got to start
to wonder -- Does Wilder need a knockout? [Deas] He's gonna give you
a lot of shake 'n' bake, but that's just a facade! He's just faking! [Ranallo] Fury is definitely
answering the call in impressive fashion here
tonight. Now bring it back,
Tyson! Find your moment, D.
Find your moment. ♪ down-tempo music plays ♪ Feint! Feint!
Feint! [Ranallo] There's an overhand

He never hit him. He didn't hit him.
He slipped. All day, baby! All day! Tyson, get your actual focus
back! [Ranallo]
Round number 10. Can Deontay Wilder
continue to build on the momentum he accrued
in the ninth when dropped Tyson Fury? [Bernstein]
Fury's been down twice before and come back to win fights. [Ranallo] Another good one-two
that got through from Fury. Oh... Love it, Tyson!
Love it! [Malignaggi] It's also a mental
statement to Deontay Wilder, like, "Don't you dare think
this fight is over. I'm still gonna be dangerous
here." [Ranallo]
Wilder again loading up. Fury doing a good job avoiding. [Bernstein]
Tyson Fury came back to establish that he was in
this fight. [Ranallo] A great bounce-back
round for the Gypsy King. Let the games begin. [Bernstein] That round was
a seminal round in this fight. You got two rounds,
buddy. When you're done here, you're gonna be the greatest
comeback in boxing history. If you're feeling tired,
you've got to give more than you've ever given before
in your life, okay? -I'm the Gypsy King!
-A hundred percent. -Yeah?
-I will be victorious! A hundred percent. Steal these two. Steal them. I don't care if they are boring,
okay? [Ranallo] As we head into
the championship rounds, if Wilder was going to win,
it would end early. The longer it went, the more
it would favor Tyson Fury. Here we are in round number 11, and Tyson Fury continues
to walk down Deontay Wilder. Wilder now just flicking
the jab, Paulie. [Malignaggi]
That's a lot of mental strength to overcome what he's overcome. But he came back and stayed
with the winning mentality. And he's dominated every second
of the fight since that round ended
where he got knocked down. [Ranallo]
