Tyson Fury v Deontay Wilder 3

It's because of this place that I have permanently swapped fuckin with fookin in my everyday conversations.

Man Wilder can't even cut a 30 second threat promo without awkwardly sounding like he has a mouth full of marbles.

Difficult to sound menacing and threatening when you just got your arse handed to you. Or at least the last time out you did, not exactly just anymore.

I'm looking forward to this one.

I do really wonder about what direction Tysons mindset might go after watching such a massive showdown with AJ go up in smoke now. Not clamoring for a 3rd Wilder fight but have to say they've rounded out the undercard pretty deep with a couple of top hvy prospects, a couple guys in make or break fights and a decent rematch. Wilder has to know it's all or nothing for him hear just as much as Fury knows he is perfectly capable of bullying and dominating him now. Never count a puncher out and he'll shoot his wad all out in the first round trying to behead Tyson.

I agree 100%. What gets fury fired up now? That fat pay check and all the belts are out the window. Wilder looks in great shape.

Fury gets the opportunity to put on a dominant performance against a guy he knows he has the beating of and emerge undefeated, the lineal champ and the person most people would consider to be the real heavyweight champion. He'll be happy enough with that. He'll be looking forward to fighting either Usyk or Joshua next. Either fight is almost certainly going to be in Saudi and for massive money. Saudi want a massive undisputed fight for all the marbles and they're not bothered if it's two Brits or an Eskimo and an Aborigine, they'll come up with a massive cheque to buy the fight. Fury wins on Saturday and his name is on the cheque. Maybe he's even more motivated because he sees Joshua losing out in the rematch and can go on and make the huge purses while not having to let Joshua in on any of it.

I think Fury fights up or down to the level of his opponent. That's why he can put in a performance like the Wallin fight and then do what he did against Wilder. I'm expecting a replay of the second fight although Wilder obviously thinks he has a chance and will be throwing everything he has into it. I expect Fury to win though.

Just thinking here. Fury and Usyk both win the rematches. You then have two undefeated fighters fighting for all the marbles. Saudi want a globally significant event and it doesn't get much better than that and the money they put up for the fight will reflect that, it'll be at least what they were going to pay for Fury Joshua at the start of the year. Better global interest than two guys from the same country, one of whom managed to get knocked out by the Michelin Man.

i disagree my friend. Fury vs AJ doesn't get any bigger than that. Fury is so much bigger than Usyk no one would give him a chance. The big money fights are gone. If AJ wins the rematch the damage has already been done.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will not be the only heavyweights colliding in Las Vegas next weekend.

The Brit will meet the American once again after Wilder won his arbitration case, forcing a trilogy fight.

And now the undercard has been confirmed, featuring several more heavyweight contests.

As with their last fight in February 2020, the undercard will be comprised of bouts from Fury’s reps Top Rank, bouts from Wilder’s reps PBC and cross-promotional fights between them.

The cross-promotional clash will be a meeting of undefeated prospects with Cuba’s Frank Sanchez facing Nigeria’s Efe Ajagba.

Sanchez is (18-0, 13 KOs) while Ajagba is 15-0 (12 KOs).

“I am honoured to be fighting on the Fury-Wilder III pay-per-view as the co-main event,” said Ajagba.

“I have been patiently waiting for this opportunity to showcase my skills. It is going to be a special night for ‘The One and Only’ Efe Ajagba.”

Sanchez replied: “I am excited to make my case as the top heavyweight title contender on the best PPV card of the year.

“I look forward to fighting Efe Ajagba and coming out victorious.

“Boxing fans want to see the best fight the best. People say Efe Ajagba is avoided, and that’s exactly why I chose to fight him.

“Fans can expect a great fight between two undefeated heavyweights.”

Meanwhile, Robert Helenius and Adam Kownacki will meet in a rematch and there will also be the heavyweight fights of Jared Anderson vs Vladimir Tereshkin and Viktor Vykhryst vs Mike Marshall.

Poland’s Kownacki (20-1, 15 KOs) was an undefeated PBC contender until his shock knockout loss to Finnish veteran Helenius (30-3, 19 KOs) last year.

Super-middleweight prospect Edgar Berlanga (17-0 16 KOs) won his first 16 fights by first-round knockout, though the streak ended as he went eight rounds last time out.

He is set to step up in his 18th pro bout against former Billy Joe Saunders foe Marcelo Esteban Coceres.

Other fights include double Olympic gold medallist Robeisy Ramirez facing Orlando Gonzalez Ruiz and former world champion Julian Williams returning against Vladimir Hernandez.

From the Saudi/money point of view Wilder against Fury or Joshua or Usyk is significantly bigger than any combination of the last three. Saudi want an event with global significance that associates Saudi Arabia with something positive instead of people associating them with being a horrific repressive tyranny run by a bunch of backwards savages. The term they came up with for this is "sportswashing", using sport and all the noble and positive aspects it has in the minds of people and using it to uh, throw a veil over the reality in Saudi. Most sports won't touch them with a bargepole but of course this is professional boxing......

They'd especially like to sportswash themselves in America and improve their country's standing with American public opinion and having an American fighting for and winning the undisputed title in a Saudi ring would be their dream come true.
