The live feed above has kicked into life with some fairly tepid pre-presser chat, so we may actually be running on time in NYC. What are the chances of that!
Here's Lou DiBella. Comedy moment as he prepares to speak only for the drumming to loudly continue.
"On December 1 it's going to be bombs away. The power and the fury. The most feared heavyweight in the world, the WBC champion, faces the fearless Gypsy King, the undefeated linear champion of the world.
"All it took was for the two champions to want to fight. On December 1 two of the three greatest heavyweights and fighting and the winner can walk away and say 'I am the man.'"
"The buzz around a big heavyweight fight is unique. These are two huge figures literally and figuratively. It's a fascinating clash of personalities and styles."
"This fight means everything to the division. This division was in a bad place. People thought it was boring with not enough great fighters. Today's era is different. We have me and we have Tyson Fury, guys with big personalities. We have bought this sport back to life."
"I want to thank everybody for turning up. And even Deontay knows to sit down in the presence of greatness. He can't box, he's knocked bums out, he fights tomato cans who can't fight back. He's not going to land one of those windmills on my chin.
"His arse is going to fall out. How am I going to let this skinny little spaghetti hoop man beat me? I didn't come here to be embarrassed by this little runt."
"I dared him to come back for this very moment. I want him to have confidence and high energy. His face will get smashed up and his body will be on the pavement. He's so nervous right now.
"And I'm watching my figure man. Let me see your body."
Tyson: "We all know I've got a fat stomach but it's going to look worse when I knock you out."
"To win would be a dream come true. But when I win I'm going to let him keep his belts. I don't want that belt. I want the Tyson Fury limited edition WBC belt."
Fury accused Wilder of running scared and even claimed the WBC heavyweight champion is an awe of him, writes Declan Warrington.
Fury said: "He hasn't got what he says he's got. I see fear in Deontay Wilder, I could sense his heartbeat through his suit.
"I know when a man's scared - Wilder's terrified of me. He's timid when he's around me - looks at the floor, doesn't make eye contact, all that sort of stuff. Even when he's around me, off-stage."
Fury has been accused of only taking such a dangerous fight, just the third of his comeback, for the significant purse he will be paid.
The powerful Wilder has stopped each of his previous 39 opponents, but Fury also believes that the American is wary that will not be enough.
"I don't need anymore fights," he said, having previously revealed he would have preferred a further warm-up before December, which could define his career.
"I don't need one more fight. If it's going to be his easiest fight then he should knock me out in one round, shouldn't he? With one punch.
"(Wladimir) Klitschko was a proven puncher who banged me right in the chin - it didn't do anything. He was catching me throughout the fight with big shots - it didn't do a thing.

"Everyone who's a massive puncher can't take one back, because they load up with everything, leave themselves wide open, and wallop. All of a sudden they're looking up at the stars.
"If I say I'm ready to fight, I'm ready to fight. If I wasn't ready, I wouldn't take the fight."
Fury had a similarly-aggressive exchange with Klitschko at the first press conference to promote the fight he unexpectedly won in November 2015.
It was later largely felt that he had got under the then IBF, WBA and WBO champion's skin, but Wilder said: "Guys try to get into my head because my mind's so strong.
"He thinks that by talking like he did with Klitschko, and getting inside his head, it's going to be the same thing, but I'm a different person. You can't do that with me."
Asked about a rumoured rematch clause in his contract, in the event of a Fury victory, and if that meant a rematch could take place in the UK, he responded: "There's a lot of things in the contract. Anything could happen - I'm going to fight over here eventually, one day, whether it's Fury, whether it's (Anthony) Joshua, whether it's (Dillian) Whyte."
