Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III - October 9, 2021

[Ruthless-RKO]

What with the ticket prices? $500 is the cheapest ticket which puts you in the top tier. Absolute joke. Do they reduce prices the day before or day of the fight if they haven't sold out?

May aswell order the PPV. Best seat in your own room.

Ticket prices are a joke. Wont be a sell out but they’ll make the money.

Wilder drawing inspiration from a sporting great.

“Enough said, time to cut off his head. Come July 24 there will be blood shed.”

I’m not so sure about that.

It’s been a rubbish year for many, due to COVID-19, with lockdowns easing, prices in hospitality have gone through the roof.

And what’s worse is that people are willing to pay them.

[Cyclops]

Good catch with the overreaction that the 'Enlightened one' later edited out.

Thanks for that.

yeah, didn't realize "his highness" edited his original post, hypocritical loser that he is.

There was nothing hypocritical about my words. I toned down my what I wrote to be less offensive, since I was dealing with a snowflake.

I was surprised about someone getting upset about me describing Deontay Wilder’s pugilistic flaws, to the point they felt the need to attack me. It's not normal behaviour.

And I accused them of being a snowflake, because my original words were innocuous.

You then jumped on the bandwagon by siding with the snowflake, because you ALWAYS support anyone that has an opinion that differs from mine.

But if you’d even bothered to read my words the snowflake objected to, you’d surely realise you’d previously said the very same things I did.

I don't know why you have to be so adversarial oogiebe, even on topics we share the same opinion.

If you're intentionally trolling me, then you should be banned from this forum, but if you're being sincere, then you've got mental issues!

Did anybody else read this in their heads in a woman's voice, or was it just me?

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.

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.

This fight has a weird energy. Anyone thinking Wilder loses by disqualification?

It will be a good idea for the big dosser to get out of this fight like that before he gets brutalized. Use the Mike Tyson escape plan, the big dosser.

[margaret thatcher]

wilder tbf has never fought a dirty fight before if i recall correctly

i think that he truly will believe no matter what that he is better than fury and should beat him, even if he starts to take a beating. he's clearly been delusional about a lot of stuff, the most nuttiest lineup of excuses ive ever seen for 1 fight. in this case it might help give him some extra hope if he starts getting beaten up again

[margaret thatcher]

fury wants to fight this the same way again aggressive , wilder aint a boxer he cant change in 6 months , put it on him so he cant set up his big shots , play it again , i dont think it will happen this fight

What if the rumors are true about Fury loading his gloves? Since when has he been a monster puncher? If you look at history, it is the experienced trainers that catch things like that not the commissions. You can bet the farm on this....very close scrutiny on glove issues. No excuses, may the best man win. (Hope there is random testing too because of Fury's past)

lol, you claim to hate excuses and excuse makers when it comes to other fighters, yet you still love wilder despite all his excuses for losing and even make the same excuses yourself. instead of size and age it's peds and loaded gloves. come on man, what is wrong with you

We’ve also never seen him this delusional. It was a strange press conference. Wilder has not recovered mentally in my opinion.

You think he's going to punch Fury in the balls or bite him? Maybe.

The headphones and sunglasses don't make him look calm and collected, more like he's constantly seething and full of anger. That's going to burn up a lot of energy. It's also hugely about race for him and his fans: Fury represents White Supremacy and must be destroyed. I dunno whether he's got it in him to really bring a sly Andre Ward style game, and Fury is well versed in the rough stuff.

I can forsee some sort of James Butler-Richard Grant situation if Wilder is stopped on his feet again or loses on points. There will be no hugging. Nobody will say "and there's the respect!"

[The Gratest]

He realises he can't beat Fury in the pre-fight mind games, especially in light of what happened in the last fight. All Wilder would have to offer pre-fight is repeating how much he's going to smash/KO/decapitate etc etc Fury....all said prior to the 2nd fight, yet look what happened? To do a repeat performance would just be laughable and Fury would just grin and constantly reference the 2nd fight.
Fury also loves having the attention pre-fight and engaging in such battles to gain a psychological advantage. If he's not getting a response then he's not building up his own mental self, and getting a bounce back from Wilder to gain some buzz and energy. He probably won't need it mind, but it's something he relishes, so to be denied it will piss him off more than anything Wilder can say.
It's probably the best move Wilder could've made. Probably won't affect the overall result though.

He's not doing bad in getting into Malik Scott's head. Maybe he needs a pair of headphones too?

[candyslim]

Wilder's keeping very quiet where Fury is concerned. Instead he spews all his hate-filled sh*t at Dillian Whyte who will never get the chance to shove those words back down his throat. He won't need to duck Whyte anymore because he will be retired soon enough.

If Malik's able to deflect Fury's ire away from Wilder and on to him then he's already doing a good job. I bet there's quite a few Danny Garcia opponents who'd rather have been punching Angel Garcia in the face!

Agree. I’ll add that he takes himself very seriously.

In terms of DQ tactics (which I should say are unlikely but possible) aside from ball shots and bitting, I see punches being thrown after the rounds and ref intimidation tactics. Kenny Baylis legitimately looked afraid of Wilder, from memory.

I think everybody who isn't a heavyweight boxer is, and probably should be, scared of Wilder. He's a low IQ unhinged nutter. He said he was part human part hybrid: he punched a man in a mascot costume bare knuckle because he thought "it" was a robot. He says he's been thinking about killing Fury for months. He also likes to show off his guns, doesn't he?



I'd cross the street if I ever saw him.
