“It’s an exciting time, full of energy, just 100 per cent ready to go. For myself, I’m feeling the same way. I’m liking and loving the way Tyson Fury’s feeling right now.”
“To me it is a little bit more exciting now,” the American continued, “getting ready for someone else and not Deontay Wilder.

“At this point, this is the opportunity for Tyson to do some new things that he wasn’t able to do with Deontay Wilder – some things that we worked on in training camps leading up to this fight, not just this training camp but some things we worked on that he wasn’t able to do or didn’t have to do in a fight with Deontay Wilder.”
Fury is unbeaten at 31-0-1 with 22 knockouts to his name. With Steward in his corner, the “Gypsy King” is seeking another stoppage victory when he faces Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs).
“In this fight I’m looking for one thing mainly from Tyson Fury and that’s punch placement,” Steward said.
“It’s the ability to set up the correct punch at the right time, and we’re looking for a big, exciting bang after that.
