Fury vs Wilder will meet face to face this afternoon and sure will have plenty to say about their upcoming battle.
Today, starting at 4pm ET, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former titleholder Deontay Wilder make their impending rematch official, formally announcing their July 24 PPV fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After much talk about a potential undisputed heavyweight title unification between Fury and Anthony Joshua, Wilder ultimately won his arbitration case, forcing this third fight.
It’s no secret that there’s been plenty of harsh words offered between fighters ever since Fury stopped Wilder in their second meeting in early 2020, and one can fully expect for a lot more to be said during today’s opening press conference for their next meeting in several weeks. You can catch the full live stream of the presser above.
Neither Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) nor Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) have fought since over a full year ago when they last met, but we’ve aware of at least some recent changes with Wilder formally naming past sparring partner Malik Scott as his lead trainer for this next fight, crediting Scott as a ‘genius’ who will develop the game plan to beat Fury.
Fury, on the other hand, hasn’t really had too much to say outside of fully expecting to dismantle Wilder once and for all in this meeting before he moves on to other things. Hang out with us right here as both fighters promise to knock one another’s head off later today!
Fury was due to fight Joshua this summer, but a court ruling changed all of that. Now he’s defending his WBC champion title against the man he won it from. This is the third fight between Fury and Wilder. The first ended in a controversial draw and the second saw Fury win the title with a dominating seventh round TKO.
Their second fight was held in February of last year and neither boxer has been in the ring since then. Fury will be the favourite to win after the way that he won the title last year. However, we know that Wilder knocked Fury down twice in their first fight, so anything could happen in this trilogy fight.
The defending champion is no stranger to the T-Mobile Arena. He beat Otto Wallin there in 2019 in his second fight after the draw with Wilder. The Golden Knights ice hockey team play at the venue, so the fans are used to seeing fights. The Conor McGregor v Floyd Mayweather Jr. bout was held at this venue.
A trip to Las Vegas isn’t complete without paying a visit to their many casinos. If you’re going to see this title fight, one of your other main activities will be to try and get some wins on the tables, roulette wheel and slot machines. If you can’t make it to Las Vegas or want to get some practice in, then go online where you will find a huge range of live casino games.
Back to this intriguing title fight. Fury is adamant that he won the first fight, a little less showboating might have given him the verdict. Sticking your tongue out or putting your hands behind the back of your head isn’t guaranteed to convince the judges to give you the round. How to watch Fury vs Wilder 3
Wilder knows he can knock Fury down, but he has to perform far better than he did in their second fight. Something wasn’t right with Wilder, and he had plenty of excuses after the fight at varying levels of reality. Was the weight of the costume he wore on the way to the ring responsible for his loss, probably not. He knows that Fury is the better boxer, but his punching power will make this a thrilling fight.
