Tyson Fury says he is going for a knockout win against Deontay Wilder.

Should he push for a stoppage he would have to abandon the style of fighting which saw him rise to the top of the heavyweight division.

Fury is normally a slippery and awkward boxer, who picks his shots from range. But his US promoter Bob Arum told Business Insider he expects Fury to close the distance, attack Wilder's ribs, and punch him from close range.

Even if he doesn't knock Wilder out early, Arum says, he'll have done enough damage to tire Wilder out so the American can't throw his dangerous right hand as hard as he otherwise would have been able to.
