Floyd Mayweather has offered to train Deontay Wilder for his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury, and is confident that with his guidance, the Bronze Bomber can avenge his pummelling defeat by the Gypsy King.
Wilder and Fury are set to do battle for a third time after the Brit convincingly defeated the former WBC heavy-weight champion via a seventh-round stoppage in Las Vegas earlier this year.
The Bronze Bomber was enraged after the bout was stopped by one of his trainers, Mark Breland, as he threw in the towel to stop his fighter taking a beating from the Gypsy King.
Wilder has triggered a rematch clause and the pair must fight before February 2021, with the WBC ordering Fury to defend his belt against countryman Dillian Whyte by that deadline.
And Mayweather has thrown his hat in the ring to train Wilder and believes that with his help, the Bronze Bomber can win back his title against Fury.
During a Q&A session on his UK Tour, Mayweather, who is now retired offered to help Wilder prepare for the trilogy, and said: ‘If I train him I can teach him how to win.”
