Wilder's knockout-to-win percentage stands at 98% (75% in world heavyweight title fights, the third-highest in heavyweight history), with 20 knockouts in the first round.
The Bronze Bomber will be up against an unpredictable opponent in Fury, who defeated him in their second fight in February 2020 and claimed WBC and The Ring titles.
Fury is able to swarm his opponent disrupt their rhythm, counterpunch or use fancy footwork to outmanoeuvre and create angles.
The British fighter tends to change his approach for each and every opponent he has comes across having defeated big names such as Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine and his compatriot Derek Chisora.

“I’m not too bothered,” Joshua, who is a two-time former unified world heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles, said.
“Look, because you’ve asked the question, let’s go with Wilder because he seems obsessed, like he really wants it.
“He seems really focused on the task ahead, so, you know, a focused man is a dangerous man and he’s focused," he continued.
“Wilder might get the decision. Actually, no, it has to be a knockout.”
