Fury said: “The rematch has been confirmed and signed. 22nd of February, it's on the rematch. This time I haven't been out the ring for three years, this time I haven't been abusing too much alcohol, and this time I am going to knock him the f*** out.”Fury defeated German Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas last month and won the crowd over with his post-fight singing of Aerosmith's I don't wanna miss a thing. He also entered the fight dressed as Uncle Sam and Wilder said that the whole show was a circus event.

The whole promotion was a circus to me," Wilder told World Boxing News. “They can’t advertise me knocking him out over and over and over again, with the same old stuff and him coming out to the American flag, Living in America. I didn’t like the theme, it didn’t sit right with me and I didn’t like it. “If anybody was laughing then it was to be laughing at him, not with him that’s for sure. Here we go, we got this guy from England who’s supposed to come over and ‘save America’ - ah man.

People got to understand it’s hard, especially when they don’t really know you like that."
