Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III - 9 October 2021

[Controversial]

It will be interesting to see what weight Wilder comes in at, he spoke of bulking up to 240lb before, after being manhandled last time he might consider needing extra weight.

I just hope Fury hasn't taken his foot off the gas, he looks like he's having a great time in America and Wilder looks like he's well up for it. Recipe for disaster.

[Dioufy]

Apparently Wilder has just come out and said that Tyson is the man who he feels will satisfy his long-standing craving… and that his fans know exactly what’s he’s talking about.
Did he say he wanted a body on his CV a few years ago so I’m guessing he wants to give Fury a funeral.

This is the kind of talk that deserves bans from the sport… what a pleb… he obviously got more mangled up than we first thought last February.

He already put on weight for the rematch and so did Fury. Fury still manhandled him.

wilder did much better when he was lighter in the first fight. he bulked up for the rematch and got battered, couldnt get out of the way of anything. not sure how getting even heavier is better?

[margaret thatcher]

Tyson says he’s coming into the ring at 300lbs.
Do we believe it?
I hope he doesn’t as surely he would struggle if he doesn’t blow Wilder away early? 25lbs heavier than the last fight and 50lbs away from what I believe is Fury’s best fighting weight.
I have this nagging feeling that Deontay might knockout Fury and I’m a massive fan of his.

of course he wont

He also said he was going to come out and fight fire with fire against Wilder in the 2nd fight; no one believed him but he did.
I’m deffo not saying he will come in close to 300lbs but he can be so emotionally unstable that I wouldn’t rule it out. I mean, he’s gotta be 270lbs at the moment so a couple of stone for a man of his frame wouldn’t look ridiculously different.
Like I said, I think he will come in at 275lbs but I’ve learnt never to rule anything out with Tyson.

he looks slim by his standards already, he's defo under 300 now and will be fight time, he talks a load of nonsense

That's what I meant by it will be interesting, will he bulk up even more or come in light.

Yes but done better because Fury fought a different fight the first time, if he goes after Wilder the same as the 2nd fight then being lighter might not help him.

How much will tickets cost?

The cheapest seat for the fight on July 24 at the T-Mobile Arena – in the venue’s upper dome – will set fans back a cool $505 (approx £361), according to the Daily Star.

Ringside seats, meanwhile, are an eye-watering $3,505 (approx £2,505).

Despite this, promoter Bob Arum says tickets are selling quicker than the previous fights between the pair.

----------------------------

The rematch broke Nevada heavyweight record. The final gate was $16,916,440, according to MGM, passing the $16,860,300 mark set by the heavyweight title rematch rematch between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield in 1999 at the Thomas & Mack Center. MGM was sold out 15,816 fans attendance.

The gate for the first meeting was $3,515,122, according to the California State Athletic Commission. Attendance was 17,698.

The Big Dosser wasn't even able to say anything. He knows, how deep he was buried with his excuses. He gotta be destroyed brutally.

The headphones-on, not answering questions thing wasn't a great look. Could have been he's intimidated, could have been an attempt at mind games. But I did wonder whether it's actually legal advice not to take any questions to avoid discussing the allegations he's made. I don't know anything about law but I would guess Breland, Bayless, Hatton, some of the Nevada officials or Fury himself could have taken legal action against him if they'd wanted.

Official Press Release

Two heavyweight kings are set for a third world title showdown as undefeated WBC world champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury puts his title on the line against former longtime heavyweight champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder Saturday, July 24 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets go on sale TODAY, June 15 at 12 p.m. PT and can be purchased at www.t-mobilearena.com or www.axs.com. The event is promoted by Top Rank, BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions and Frank W’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

“I’m excited to once again be fighting in Las Vegas, the home of The Gypsy King,” Fury said. “For the last 18 months, I’ve been living rent free in Wilder’s head. He got smashed to pieces in our last fight, and for some reason, he wants it again. Let’s go. The Big Dosser is getting knocked spark out.”

Wilder said, “Nothing has changed. It’s still one face, one name, one champion – Deontay Wilder. I’m in the best shape of my life. July 24, I’m going to show the people why I’m still the baddest man on the planet.”

Hall-Of-Fame Promoter Frank W said: “I’m delighted to see Tyson Fury have an opportunity to defend his prestigious WBC Heavyweight Championship of the world. Since making his comeback with Queensberry in 2018, Tyson has showed the remarkable character he has and cemented himself as the best heavyweight of his generation.

“Make no mistake though, this is no easy fight. Deontay Wilder is an incredibly dangerous puncher and clearly has tremendous self-belief for invoking this rematch.

“I’m sure this will be another absolute classic and I remain confident Tyson will prevail again and we can hopefully look forward to an Undisputed fight in the future.”

Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), from Manchester, England, has held the lineal heavyweight crown since dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. His comeback from substance abuse and mental health issues inspired millions, and it was the two fights against Wilder that propelled him back to the top of the heavyweight heap. Their December 2018 draw — with Fury rising off the deck in the climactic 12th round — elevated both men to the forefront of the boxing world. Fury knocked out Wilder in the seventh round of their one-sided February 2020 rematch; however, Wilder wanted an immediate third crack at his 6’9, 270-pound adversary.

Wilder (42-1, 41 KOs), a 2008 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, won the heavyweight title in January 2015 and re-energized the heavyweight division, captivating fans with his electrifying power and charisma. Wilder held the WBC heavyweight world title for more than five years, notching 10 consecutive successful defenses, more than all-time greats Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and Lennox Lewis, while earning a reputation as one of the most devastating punchers in boxing history. Nine of his 10 title defenses ended via knockout, including a pair of come-from-behind victories over Cuban star Luis Ortiz and a one-punch, first-round demolition over 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazeale. Wilder’s knockout ratio of more than 93 percent still stands as the highest for any heavyweight champion, past or present.

Wilder put on those headphones definitely because he didn't want to discuss his excuses. He felt vulnerable because of it and just avoided it. He has no clue what to say after all that happened and he will have no clue what to do in the ring against the guy, who has broken him down. However, there will be no place to hide in the ring and Scott probably won't throw in the towel because all the stuff with the previous case, so Wilder will be beaten even worse.

wilder did much better when he was lighter in the first fight. he bulked up for the rematch and got battered, couldnt get out of the way of anything. not sure how getting even heavier is better?

Yes but done better because Fury fought a different fight the first time, if he goes after Wilder the same as the 2nd fight then being lighter might not help him.

he was already at a career high for the rematch, i mean how heavy does he need to get to reverse a drubbing? is adding another 9 pounds really going to do much when we are talking about 230+ pounders? i really doubt it...if he wants to make himself feel heavier for fury, try adding at least another 20 at least, but then he is going way beyond what he normally weihts

and wilder got manhandled by the punches of fury. it wasnt greco roman wrasslin where they were grappling back and forth. if he comes in at a new career high that right hand is just gonna be slower and he's gonna have more problems getting out of the way. might gas faster too with that pumped up muscle mass

wilder is a very lean guy, as low as 213 for the first fight, i dont think the whole bulky man thing is a good move for him. his biggest performances have always been when he's been on the lighter side. he needs the speed on the right hand and the energy to keep having that eraser at full threat if the fight goes late

Fury used his weight last time, he was leaning on Wilder and that took an affect. I'm not saying Wilder should bulk up even more, I said it will be interesting to see what he does with his weight.

However, there will be no place to hide in the ring and Scott probably won't throw in the towel because all the stuff with the previous case, so Wilder will be beaten even worse.

I've seen him do a couple of interviews: one with Ellie Setbach where he basically just gives Wilder a blow job throughout saying that he won the first fight and how he's the best fighter in the world, and another one that was probably contractual where he's interviewed by a guy from the UK and kind of acts like he wants to beat the interviewer up. He alludes to his previous wish to kill somebody in the ring and says Tyson is the guy.

Does anybody remember when Wilder first came over to the UK to fight Audley and he was interviewed and was funny and kind of goofy and charming? Even if he somehow pulls it off and, maybe gets his wish and kills Fury in the ring, what a dreadful human being boxing has made that nice guy that was making some money for his daughter? Angry, rude, paranoid, a bully that will only deal with yes men. Where's everybody else that was with him last time? It just looks like Scott and his brother? I saw Scott say they've built a 'facility' to train in, so I suppose he's not going anywhere near any normal gyms. I've seen footage of him training pads with Deas before for some previous fight build up and he practically tried to knock him out; missed the pads and hit him. I wonder who they'll get to spar with him? That would be interesting in itself. He seems like the sort of person who would want to hurt everybody that got in the ring with him, not try and learn.

That Ellie is a trifle. Probably is still upset with Fury throwing him out from his interview session.

Yeah, Wilder is a bully, who is now in deep in his shell, from where it won't be possible to change anything. The Big Dosser is to be whooped.

[Cyclops]

That Ellie is a trifle. Probably is still upset with Fury throwing him out from his interview session.

It's pure cringe. I suppose Ellie wants to get the clicks as the only guy that Wilder will let interview him. I'm sure him being thrown out of that press conference still haunts him. He has his tongue so far up Wilder's rectum I'm sure he'll get asked back. That's all that's on his mind. Even Wilder looks surprised when Ellie says he's the king and he knows he won the first fight etc... He never really had any credibility though, did he?

It's a weird one. On one hand, Wilder is so bitter and unhinged, winning will make him absolutely insufferable: just look at how much of a Messianic egotistical pudendum he is now! But at the same time, another loss, and a bad one... I hope he doesn't kill himself or go on a shooting spree or anything. I've never seen a fighter so badly affected by a loss. I think Fury would dust himself off from a loss: they all lose at some point don't they? I reckon he'd go back to his family and get over it.

I've got a bad feeling about it. Even Scott seems like he doesn't really want to be around Deontay, calls him stubborn and nasty. I think he's brain damaged.

indeed. Wilder packing muscle on willy-nilly strikes me as an ultimate example of someone not understanding or accepting the limitations (and opportunities) bestowed on him by his body type.

[Cyclops]

of course he wont

He's said he's under 270 now and that he was supposed to enter camp at 280, so he wants to put on weight. I said this before when somebody said they'd seen him running and he looked too light: he's going to do what he coated Klitschko off for doing and actually put weight on in camp. That's why he looked like such a sack of sh*t for the face off: there was no shoulders or arms there to counter-balance his beer belly and grotesque Alan Partridge fat back. He needs to get on the weights and get himself some muscles.

[margaret thatcher]

wilders screwed himself already, definite neck injury / crushed head with the size of those head phones

PPV Undercard Press Release

Four big heavyweight fights in one historic night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Three can’t-miss heavyweight showdowns have been added to the televised PPV undercard of the highly anticipated third fight between WBC and lineal heavyweight world champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury and former heavyweight world champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder.

In the 10-round co-main event, 2016 Nigerian Olympian “The One and Only” Efe Ajagba will take on fellow unbeaten Frank “The Cuban Flash” Sanchez. The PPV telecast also includes the 12-round rematch between Finland’s Robert “The Nordic Nightmare” Helenius and Polish star Adam “Babyface” Kownacki, who was stopped by Helenius in the fourth round of their first bout in March 2020.

The eight-round PPV opener will see Toledo-born Jared “The Real Big Baby” Anderson step up in class against undefeated Russian contender Vladimir Tereshkin.

Anderson (9-0, 9 KOs) has not tasted the final bell as a professional, a dominant run that began with a first-round stoppage in his pro debut less than two years ago. He has five first-round knockouts and became the breakout star of the MGM Grand Las Vegas Bubble, where he went 5-0. After closing out his Bubble run with a sixth-round knockout over Kingsley Ibeh, Anderson returned April 10 with a second-round blitzing of Jeremiah Karpency. Anderson was Fury’s primary sparring partner for the Wilder rematch and will serve in the same capacity for the trilogy bout. Tereshkin (22-0-1, 12 KOs) a 6’6 southpaw, is a 14-year professional who has won 14 consecutive fights since the lone draw on his ledger.

Tickets for Fury vs. Wilder III are on sale now and can be purchased at www.t-mobilearena.com or www.axs.com. The event is promoted by Top Rank, BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions and allegedly’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

Seems I've waited forever for so many good & interesting HW fights on one card.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Really good undercard. Interested to see all 3 fights which is really rare for an undercard.

Seems I've waited forever for so many good & interesting HW fights on one card.

I’ve noticed now, there are more HW fights on the undercard of a HW main event.

I remember watching the whole PPV card for Wilder-Fury 1.. Joyce, Ortiz, Hurd, then the main event.

Then you had the fights from the Ruiz-AJ 2 card.
