Tyson Fury was visited by WWE legend Triple H before his heavyweight world title challenge against Deontay Wilder. The ‘Gypsy King’ warned Wilder that he will have to do something “big” to stop him at the MGM Grand.
Fury is attempting to capture the only heavyweight world title he has never held – the WBC crown.
The previous owner of the WBA, WBO, IBF and WBO belts is putting his unbeaten record on the line against the heavy-hitting Wilder.
And in the build-up, he was visited by WWE megastar Triple H in his dressing room.
Speaking to the 50-year-old, Fury promised he was ready for a war against Wilder.
“I’m feeling good,” the ‘Gypsy King’ declared.
“I’m ready for a war.
“He’ll have to do something big to take me out tonight.”
