Tyson Fury: “I know it’s boxing. All the great men get beat, it comes. Nothing is a given in life.

“It’s a show of character. When a man gets beat it is what happens from there. It’s inevitable unless you’re Floyd Mayweather or Rocky Marciano.

“I’m not at that point at the moment so I don’t need to worry about it.

“When that bridge comes I will cross it but until then I’m not bothered about it.

“The losing side of things, I don’t ever think about it because while I’m in there you’re going to have to be a very serious operator to beat me.

“You’re going to have to put me to sleep to beat me. If I’m knocked down I will get up as long as I can.”

Tom Schwarz: "I have had a long, long period of preparation, it's been a double preparation because of the intensity," said Schwarz.

"I'm fit and focused on the fight, I’m well prepared and I've had sparring partners the same as Tyson Fury.

"I have seen all of his fights several times with my coaches and we have analysed his skills but we have also worked out how to behave against a fighter like Tyson.

"I have big balls and a big heart, I am a surprise package."
