Tyson Fury: “Roach can do whatever he wants in corner on fight night”

Tyson Fury isn’t simply attempting to gain a psychological advantage over Deontay Wilder when they fight December 1 in Los Angeles. “We’re training in Freddie’s gym now, in Hollywood, at the Wild Card,” Fury said. “You know, it’s good to have Freddie’s experience around, giving us good pointers. And he’s a very nice guy, so I thought I’d invite him to be part of the team and he can give us some good experience in the corner.” Freddie Roach told si.com earlier Wednesday that Fury hired him as a cut man for theirs. “Whatever Freddie wants to do, he can do,” Fury said. “Freddie’s his own man. Whatever he wants to do, he’ll do in the corner. I’m sure he will. “It’s always good to have experience in the corner. It’s always good to have a wise hand in the corner, and it’s gonna be to my advantage.” “I just invited him into the corner because he’s a lovely fella,” Fury said. “He’s been very hospitable to us. And I thought he would be good if we got him in the training, and in the corner as well, to give us some tips. I genuinely [think] he’s very experienced and he’s a very nice guy. It’s not a mind tactic to Deontay Wilder.”
