JOHN McDERMOTT has promised fans he won’t be beaten by nerves when the bell rings in his return clash against Tyson Fury.
Manchester Romany gypsy Fury (10-0) risks his English heavyweight title against the Essex man (25-6) at The Brentwood Centre on Friday June 25 in a contest that also doubles as a final eliminator for the British title.
McDermott admits he constantly worries before fights, but insists he will be cool when they cross paths nine months after their epic first battle which Fury controversially won on points.
Big John, 30, said: “I do worry beforehand, but when I get in them I am gutsy and will push anyone until the end.
I worry about silly things sometimes, but that is just me.
“I always question myself and ask ‘Am I ready?’ but I know I am ready for this fight. This is a big one for me.”
