23% of bets since Fury's comments have gone on a second round win for the Gypsy King.
Tyson Fury says he’s had “recurring dreams” about knocking Deontay Wilder out in the second round of their rematch this weekend.
He was quoted as saying, "To get the knockout - and I have had recurring dreams of doing that in the second round - it's not more power I need as some are saying but better balance."
Second round knockout on the cards according to @Tyson_Fury...

That's the most backed outcome since this comment with 23% of bets. #WilderFury2 https://t.co/CI8EtDBwUJ
Since those comments were made at a press conference at the end of last week, we’ve seen 23% of bets on the round betting market go on a Fury second round victory.
That makes that outcome the most backed in that period of time, with punters happy to take a chance on the visions from the Gypsy King’s slumbers.
The odds on Fury winning in the second round shifted from 80/1 to 50/1 in places around the time of the quotes and currently sit as short as 40/1. The best price on offer on Oddschecker at the moment is 77/1.
Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will face off for the second time at the MGM Grand at 04:30 on Sunday morning.
According to the round betting market, the most likely outcome as it stands is Tyson Fury winning on points (13/8), while Wilder on points follows at 10/1.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “"Throughout the build-up to his monster rematch with Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury has boldly predicted he will knock the American out this time around, after he was denied the WBC belt by questionable scorecards back in December 2018.
"Fury's herky-jerky style flummoxed Wilder for large stretches of their first bout, but avoiding the Bronze Bomber's deadly right hand for 36 minutes is a hugely difficult task, so there's a good chance we'll see a more aggressive Gypsy King on February 22."
