Mike Tyson questions Deontay Wilder's motives ahead of Tyson Fury trilogy and asks 'is he there for a payday?'
MIKE TYSON has questioned Deontay Wilder's motivations for fighting Tyson Fury a third time.
The Bronze Bomber will bid to rip the WBC heavyweight title from the Wythenshawe warrior's clutches next Sunday morning in Las Vegas.
Wilder, 35, was battered from pillar to post in his rematch with Fury last February, a result that has Tyson wondering why the American is going back for more.
He told ES News: "I like Wilder, but is he going in there to win or is he going in there for a big payday?
"Is he really going in there to win?"
Former undisputed heavyweight champ Tyson would like to see Wilder adopt a kill or be killed mentality for his third clash with the Gypsy King.
He said: "They should go all out for five or six rounds. If you catch him, you catch him. Go all out, win or lose."
Wilder has had to sit and stew on his first professional loss for the last 19 months and is hellbent on getting back in the win column in devastating fashion.

The Olympic bronze medallist said: "My mind is very violent.
"We built a whole facility to commit a legal homicide and that's just what it is, my mind is very violent at this time.
"I can't wait, when you're contemplating and pre-meditating about harming a man and you see that person, what you've been thinking and feeling will come out.
"The only thing about it is, at that point in time, I have to wait until I get in the ring to really release because I can't do it on the outside, it'd defeat the purpose.
"The baby's got to eat, but when I do get in the ring, this is what I love about it, I'm able to release everything I've been feeling, everything I've been thinking, and get paid to do it."
Fury, however,is confident of a repeat performance in Sin City, saying: "I gave my game plan away the first time because he wasn’t good enough to do anything about it.
"And I’ll do the same thing this time because he's not good enough to do anything about it.
"Deontay Wilder is a one-trick pony. He's got one-punch power, we all know that – great.
"But what I'm going to do to Deontay Wilder this time is I'm going to run him over as if I’m an 18-wheeler and he's a human being.
"I guarantee he does not go past where he did before [the seventh round]."
