00:00 Let's not forget I only trained six weeks for Deontay Wilder.
00:03 I'm doing 12 weeks for Francis Ngannou.
00:05 12 weeks!
00:06 So I need to be on my A-game because
00:08 there's more on the line now than a boxing fight.
00:11 You know, if I lose to a number one contender or another champion,
00:14 it's like, "Well, he lost to a champion, whatever."
00:15 But if I lose to an MMA guy,
00:17 I'm never gonna be able to show my face in public again.
00:20 It's gonna be ridiculed. People are gonna chuck it at me forever.
00:22 So there's more riding on this than there ever has been before.
00:25 And whether the media wanna take it as a joke or whatever they wanna take it as,
00:29 make no mistake, Tyson Fury will leave zero stones unturned,
00:34 and I will come in at me fittest and strongest and best I've ever been
00:37 to defeat this man.
00:38 And if I'm not, and I get knocked out, I want you all to laugh at me.
00:42 That's what I want. Because I'll deserve it.
00:45 Only an idiot wouldn't train the s*** out of somebody like Francis.
00:48 The man's a machine, and I'll give him 100% respect.
00:51 And I'm in the gym every day training, and I can't do no more.
00:54 And it's all God's will now. All God's will.
