Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

[SlimTrae]

Well at least don’t go overboard in arts & craft class with the silly heavy costumes ..

WTF kind of arts & craft class did he take: the beauty of voodoo?

After that farce, he should come in light as in Mike Tyson apparel- trunks, shoes, not even socks.







I'm interersted in the Kownacki fight. To me he is a bigger slower version of Joe Mesi. Had Arreola fought him in his prime, I think he would've stopped him. Adamn got hit WAYYY too many times to think he has a decent defence.

Personally I would love to see Kownacki vs Chisora. That would be a barnburner punchfest bonanza. Nevertheless seems like a decent if not good card .

Deontay Wilder reveals the reason why he chose not to answer any questions at Tyson Fury trilogy press conference

The former heavyweight champion wore headphones to drown out any questions asked to him at the sole press conference to promote their trilogy fight

Deontay Wilder has explained why he didn't want to speak too much at his press conference with Tyson Fury last night in Los Angeles.

The former heavyweight champion wore headphones to drown out any questions at the media event, which is the only promotional showcase for the trilogy fight between the heavyweight duo.

Fury was in typical Gypsy King form, throwing out some great lines, whipping off his shirt and going back-and-forth with Wilder's coach Malik Scott.

But his opponent, who is now a challenger for the heavyweight title for the first time in over half a decade, opted to stay quiet, until a more than six-minute long staredown between the pair.

And speaking in a new interview just minutes after the presser, Wilder claimed that the time for talking is over ahead of their July 24 fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

"I just mean business," Wilder told YouTube channel ESNews. "I didn't come here to play around or lollygag, I'm strictly business when it comes to this fight and I'm solely stuck on that.

"I'm going to let their champion, meaning the people that support him who aren't even his fans they're just Deontay Wilder haters, be the circus and promote it.

"I want to see if he can hold up his end of the bargain, and I don't think he can - he looks for me to entertain and then he wants to be my co-captain.

"He's my partner in crime, I'm Batman, he's Robin, that type of thing, but now I want to let him do his thing because it's the same old same old.

Due to the music playing in his headphones, Wilder was able to block out whatever Fury or other people involved in the press conference were saying.

And he has reiterated that he didn't have any interest in hearing from Fury, who he has claimed that he hates in previous interviews.

"I couldn't hear nothing," Wilder continued. "I didn't want to hear nothing, there ain't nothing for me to hear, I already have what I'm going to do stuck in my head.

"I'm looking forward to it and that's why I want to get a private jet back to the house because there's nothing but 'train, train, train' on my mind, that's it.

"We've been working hard, there's a lot of attributes that I've already had in the bag but it's just, you know, that when you go so long defending and knocking guys out, you do get comfortable.

"It gets to the point where motherf***ers have to cheat you just to beat you and now I'm at the point where I'm saying 'oh you want to play dirty?'

"I'm the only fighter I know that is lifting up these heavyweights, putting money in their pocket, getting them opportunities, breaking bread with them so they can support and feed their family and I don't run away from the tough fights.

"Then they have the audacity to talk about me wanting to get money from lower quality of opposition, saying I see people as high risk low reward."

I think the year and a half between their last fight and this fight is going to be worse for Wilder than Fury. I think this fight will be just like the second one. I can't see why Wilder wants this when he could have taken his biggest ever payday to watch Fury and Joshua beating each other up and then fought the winner for a bigger payday than he's going to get for this fight.

Yeah he did pass up a lot of money - but then again I wonder if he feels AJ can beat Fury. Doesnt want to fight Fury after a loss?

+ A big chance for a guy with an ego like Wilder that he thinks he can redeem himself from such a lopsided loss.

Anthony Joshua is intent on facing the winner of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3, but opted not to make a prediction for the fight.

AJ, still disappointed that his undisputed clash with Fury didn’t materialise, stated that the two heavyweights are both his ‘enemies’ and so refused to pick a side for their July 24 meeting.

When asked if he believes his fellow Brit would emerge victorious once again, Joshua told Sky: “Fury? Wilder? Bring them both. I’m not taking sides.

“They’re both enemies of mine and I wanna slay them both with the same energy.

“Good luck to both and whichever one wins, I’ll be seeing them soon.”

Joshua will now have to face his WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk next.

Regardless of what happens in that fight, he still wants to face Fury in an all-British clash one day.

Joshua added: “I will still be here, still ready to put on a show. End of the year. Let me get past Usyk first. But with or without Usyk in my life, I will fight Fury.

“Usyk isn’t the be-all and end-all.

“Usyk doesn’t determine the Fury fight. The Fury fight has to happen. It’s a big fight, bigger than boxing, bigger than the belts.

“It will happen. After the Usyk fight, after I defend my belts.

“The fight will be bigger, better than what it would have been.”

I'm gonna go out on that lonely limb and say it'll probably be more competitive this time around. I don't think Fury repeats the beatdown he put on Wilder in their 2nd fight.

Will Fury win? Maybe. But IMO it'll be by outboxing Wilder and staying out of harm's way. Knowing Fury, he'll come in with a vast array of head games and strategy in the knowledge that Wilder isn't going to be a willing sitting duck the 3rd time around. You'd have to be dense to think Deontay hasn't himself been thinking about another strategy other than the one he brought into the ring for their 2nd fight. Needless to say he won't be wearing any heavy costumes into the ring... LOL. Deep down he knows nobody bought that cockamamie excuse... and he's bent on clearing his name and reputation.

If there were a poll today, I'd go with Fury by clear, but hard-fought UD.

Deontay Wilder's coach hints at change of tactics for third Tyson Fury fight

Wilder is known for his unbelievable knockout power, but coach Malik Scott has said that he may have a few new tricks up his sleeve as he prepares for his trilogy bout with Fury

Deontay Wilder will beat Tyson Fury in a 'way never expected', according to his head coach Malik Scott.

The American is aiming to reclaim his world heavyweight title from Fury in a massive trilogy fight later this month, and he is reportedly hoping to do it in shocking fashion.

Wilder is known for his unbelievable knockout power, but in recent training footage, coach Scott let slip that he's hoping to win the title in a way that will surprise boxing fans.

"Everything they think you can't do, you can do it ten times better than they think you can," Scott says in the video.

"They don't see you coming, that's what's going to be the beauty in this; not only will you get it back, but you're going to do it in a way that they never expect.

"Let's stay special, let's keep creating, two time heavyweight champ, two time heavyweight champ."

The American will need a truly remarkable performance to overcome the visible gulf there was between him and Fury during their first two fights.

In the initial bout in early December 2018, he almost landed a brutal knockout in the twelfth round, and that 10-8 score was enough to earn him a controversial draw, with many experts believing he had been firmly beaten by Fury.

But when they fought again in February 2020, Fury completely outclassed the American, putting him down twice before his corner threw in the towel in the seventh round.

And despite being known for his charismatic promotional style, Wilder has said that he won't be participating in media duties ahead of the bout with Fury.

"I just mean business," Wilder told YouTube channel ESNews. "I didn't come here to play around or lollygag, I'm strictly business when it comes to this fight and I'm solely stuck on that.

"I'm going to let their champion, meaning the people that support him who aren't even his fans they're just Deontay Wilder haters, be the circus and promote it.

"I want to see if he can hold up his end of the bargain, and I don't think he can - he looks for me to entertain and then he wants to be my co-captain.

"He's my partner in crime, I'm Batman, he's Robin, that type of thing, but now I want to let him do his thing because it's the same old same old."

Fury v Wilder 3 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 24, with a massive heavyweight undercard slated for the big event.

The Brit was initially supposed to face Anthony Joshua on August 14 in Saudi Arabia, with both men having signed for the bout and a special arena set to be built.

But when Wilder brought forth an arbitration case, Fury was ordered to complete a trilogy with his old rival, and Joshua is now set to fight Oleksandr Usyk in September.
