Roach, who has cornered the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and Julio César Chávez Jr., has assured Fury that he will have nothing to worry about if he is opened up by 'The Bronze Bomber' in their heavyweight showdown.
The 58-year-old will be advising Fury against brawling with the heavy-handed Wilder, who has knocked out 39 of his 40 opponents.
"I think he has the ability to outbox [Wilder]," Roach said. "He can’t outpunch him. If he tries to slug with him, he’ll get caught. But he’s a good boxer and he has good legs and I think he can box for 12 rounds without any problem whatsoever. He seems to be in very good condition. Boxing here, he has gone up to 12 rounds a couple of times.
"His best asset is his sight. He sees what’s happening in there. He’s not going to get hit with a right hand out of left field. I like him in this fight a lot. I think he has a great game plan to win this fight."Jake Paul has surprisingly gracious take on Katie Taylor Croke Park bout
