Tyson Fury's new trainer explains game plan for Deontay Wilder rematch

Tyson Fury's new trainer Javan 'Sugar' Hill is confident his new pupil can knock out Deontay Wilder .

Fury will relocate to Las Vegas to team up with the nephew of the late Emanuel Steward after his shock split from Ben Davison.

The former heavyweight world champion is due to take on current ruler Wilder in their rematch on February 22.

And Hill is confident Fury can end the rivalry in a concussive fashion following the pair's controversial draw 12 months ago.

"This is the heavyweight division," he told Sky Sports. "Both guys are big punchers but Wilder is bigger, he is a beast of a puncher. But one punch changes a fight and this is why the heavyweights are the big daddies of them all.

"[A knockout] is always the plan. Why think anything less?"

Fury was a huge admirer of Steward and spent a month in his famed Kronk gym in 2009 and also spent time with the trainer as a sparring partner for Wladimir Klitschko.

"He wanted a trainer who was technical," Hill added.

"He wants to be very technical. We will work on his technique. These are the characteristics he was looking for when he called me, and I fit the description.

"It all happened so fast. Initially he spoke to me about coming into camp, then I heard Ben Davison is gone and I'm the head trainer.

"It's the Kronk style, so it's not hard to figure out.

"What did Emanuel like the most? If you know that answer, you know the plan Tyson spoke about.

"It's so simple, you could miss it."
