Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

[TitoFan]

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.

Tyson Fury confirms he will fight UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a ‘stand-up bang out’ once he has faced both Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury has confirmed he WILL face UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou once he has faced Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Yet ‘The Gypsy King’ maintains it will not be a traditional MMA bout, instead offering Ngannou the chance to box him inside the Octagon whilst wearing four ounce gloves.

Fury seemed destined to face compatriot Joshua on August 14 in Saudi Arabia for the chance to become undisputed world heavyweight champion of the world.

Yet those plans were scuppered due to contractual obligations stemming from his WBC heavyweight title fights with Wilder in 2018 and 2020, resulting in a legal battle and a scheduled trilogy bout on July 24.

Fury has never been one to comply with the norm, trying his hand out at MMA multiple times and even training with the legendary Nick Diaz ahead of a proposed debut inside a cage.

Yet the 32-year-old insists he will face UFC superstar Ngannou, but only on his terms.

“Nick looks good,” Fury told TMZ Sports. “Nick is training hard and he is making his comeback.

“He did tell me that Ngannou can’t do any wrestling anyway, so we are just looking for a stand-up bang out.

“Me and Ngannou in the small gloves, let’s make it happen.

He added: “As soon as I am done with Wilder and Joshua, I will fight Ngannou in an octagon, in the four ounce gloves and just punching.”

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 is postponed after outbreak of coronavirus in Brit's camp

The long-awaited and highly-anticipated third bout between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder that was set for July 24 is now due to be postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Brit's camp.

Sources close to the fight have told BBC Sport that the fight is now 'likely to happen in October,' meaning we now have three months to wait until the score is finally settled between the pair.

Shelly Finkel, Wilder’s manager, has said: “Deontay is disappointed. The fight has to be rescheduled.”

The news broke late last night, but there was still massive speculation surrounding the news. However, with Finkel's comments added to the reports, it seems like it's sadly true and the fight is sadly being pushed back.

The final fight of the trilogy is what both boxers have been training for over the past year, with neither facing an opponent since Fury’s win 14 months ago in February 2020 - making the Gypsy King the WBC heavyweight champion in the process.

Promoters of the fight Top Rank have also stated: "We continue to monitor the health status of Tyson and his team and the status of the event has not changed to date."

This is now the second fight blow Fury has had this year. He was also keen to see a deal agreed with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua for a unification fight to have happened over the course of the year, before announcing that he was contractually obliged to see out the trilogy with Wilder.

Fury remains unbeaten in his boxing career, with an impressive 31 wins to Wilder’s 42. ‘The Gypsy King’ undoubtedly dominated the last bout between the pair, wearing out Wilder and winning in the seventh round by TKO.

However, the first encounter between the fighters ended in a controversial draw, leaving it all left to fight for when they enter the ring again.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ will be adamant to make the fight nothing less than a victory, having felt hard done by with the weight of his ring-walk gear before the rematch last year, and the loss being the first in his professional career.
