Fury and Wilder clash at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on December 1 as the American puts his WBC heavyweight title on the line.

The press tour for the bout got underway this afternoon at the BT Sport studios in London, the tour will go to New York next before ending in LA.

Both boxers go into the fight undefeated and Tyson Fury refused to accept he is the 'challenger' for the bout, he said: "I am no challenger for no man. I'm the linear heavyweight champion of the world, the best of the best.

"This is two champions colliding, equal rights, rephrase and start again."

Wilder, who has fought 39 times stopping his opponent every time, said: "It's important to establish dominance. I say I'm the best, the baddest man on the planet.

"When it comes to Tyson Fury. I'm all about devastating knock-outs, it's what I do.

"He's got two months to get ready, he lost a lot of weight; he's got to lose a little more."

The 32-year-old added: "We can't live off others' opinions. You'll know what time it is, you come here to see one thing, me knocking somebody out."

The press conference was abandoned as Fury called Wilder onto the stage for a 'body spar', promoter Frank Warren had to hold apart the fighters before getting the help of others as the pair exchanged words after the American pushed the 30-year-old.

Ladbrokes can report 75% of all bets placed on the outright winner have favoured the American, who is just 4/6 to beat the Gypsy King.

Fury, meanwhile, is 6/5 for a victory while 22/1 says the pair draw.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's the fight we've all been waiting for and while Fury is clearly confident of beating Wilder, punters don't seem to think he has a chance."
