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

[candyslim]

@ Maggie: You have to admire his tenacity. No matter how many times he says something really stupid and gets shot down for it, he's right back at it like a dog humping your leg.

He performs a valuable service because if he ever said anything I agreed with, it would alert me that I might need to think it through again.

Deontay Wilder Plans To Wear 'Something Special' To The Ring For Third Tyson Fury Fight

The problems Deontay Wilder contends that his extravagant, heavy costume caused before his last fight haven’t deterred him from planning to wear a different elaborate outfit for his next ring walk.

Wilder explained during a Zoom call Wednesday that he’ll wear “something special” into the ring again October 9 for his third heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.

“All of my fights have – well, since I became champion, you know, it’s nobody come out with a better dress, better uniform than I,” Wilder said. “And we’re gonna continue to continue with that. You know, and we’ll just have to see what I put on. It’s gonna be something special. It’s gonna be something that I dedicate this, you know, to my people, my tribe. You know, so look forward to seeing it.”

A follow-up question by Boxing Scene regarding the weight and details of his outfit for October 9 was not permitted because each outlet was limited to two questions apiece during Wilder’s limited period of availability. Wilder revealed following his seventh-round, technical-knockout loss to Fury in February 2020 that his 45-pound costume contributed to him lacking energy from the start of their rematch.

Wilder was widely criticized for mentioning the costume he chose as a contributing factor to his first professional defeat. The former WBC champion did acknowledge during an interview with BS.com two days after his loss to Fury that he wouldn’t wear something nearly as heavy to the ring again.

“I think I’m just gonna have to make some adjustments with the accessories that’s on there,” Wilder said in February 2020. “My last couple of outfits, they had no weight on it. It was more Styrofoam. This time around, we added different heavy things. The skulls, the rhinestones that was on there. There was a lot of things that were designed on there that made it very, very, very heavy. You know, even with the mask, it had battery packs in the mask. So, it was quite a bit, you know, and I’m definitely gonna change that up. That’s something that I’ll never do again.”

The Tuscaloosa, Alabama, native also admitted then that he had no one to blame but himself for choosing such a heavy outfit for his ring entrance that night.

“When I first tried it on, I saw it had some type of weight to it,” Wilder said. “You know, but during that time you get so excited and you want people to see it. But we immediately started feeling, ‘All right, we’re gonna have to put this uniform on a certain amount of time before we go out,’ even if we had to delay it a little bit, before putting it on. But our timing wasn’t perfect. We still had the uniform on about 10 to 15 minutes before walking out. And I was walking around with it. I just didn’t have the helmet on.

“And when I put the helmet on and started walking out, it was a long ring walk. Due to the circumstances I was under, it immediately just drained my legs. And then you’re talking about walking up the stairs [to the ring] with it on. It was almost like a workout. I didn’t think it would affect me that much. But it affected me more than what I expected. Then, by him coming and leaning his body on me and pushing me down and putting me in headlocks, that played a part in affecting my legs as well.”

Caesars Sportsbook lists Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) as a 3-1 favorite versus Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) barely two weeks before their third meeting. Fury, 33, and Wilder, 35, will headline a FOX Sports/ESPN Pay-Per-View show from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

I mean, it is pretty cool.

He's solving the problem of the costume weight by riding a robot dinosaur to the ring come October

He's solving the problem of the costume weight by riding a robot dinosaur to the ring come October

And probably taking a stretcher back to the dressing room if he fights the same way as last time. Let's not forget that last time he was saved by Mark Breland.


So how about Wilder forgetting about a boxing match this time and instead turning this into a 3 round brawl?

That should level their chances a fair bit.

Press Release | Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder Trilogy Will Be Carried By Movie Theaters

Movie theaters across North America are lining up to show Fury vs. Wilder III, the highly anticipated heavyweight trilogy showdown between WBC and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) and former world champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) on Saturday, Oct. 9 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Participating theaters include Cinemark, AMC, Regal, Harkins, Galaxy, and several more.

The two have restarted their long-running feud, highlighted by their nearly six-minute faceoff at June’s kickoff press conference in Los Angeles.

“Fury and Wilder are two of the biggest names in boxing,” said Joe Hand, Jr., President of Joe Hand Promotions.

“This is their third time stepping in the ring and the amount of excitement for the previous two bouts have been some of the most anticipated fights of all time. There is no doubt that this, too, will have crowds filling movie theaters across North America to watch this spectacle.”

Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 and has held the lineal heavyweight crown ever since. His two fights against Wilder launched him back to the top of the heavyweight division. Their December 2018 fight ended in a draw, with Fury rising off the canvas in the climactic 12th round.

Fury then stopped Wilder in the seventh round of their one-sided February 2020 rematch. Wilder wanted an immediate third crack at Fury, and now he gets that opportunity.

Jared Anderson vs. Vladimir Tereshkin on October 9th

Jared “Big Baby” Anderson will make his pay-per-view debut in his 10th professional fight on the all-heavyweight undercard of Fury vs. Wilder III at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on October 9. Anderson will open the PPV broadcast in a showdown with veteran Vladimir Tereshkin (22-0-1) of Russia in what could be the toughest test of Anderson’s career.

Anderson was just eight years old when Tereshkin turned professional in 2007 but his opponent’s experience doesn’t discourage the talented American heavyweight who has never been one to shy away from a challenge.

The 21-year-old former amateur standout has caught the eye of many in the boxing world with his successful run in the Top Rank bubble and the valuable sparring work he gave Tyson Fury ahead of his second fight with Deontay Wilder. He is now ready to step into the spotlight on October 9 and impress once again.

Anderson was not deterred by the fight postponement and has remained focused and in the gym since the card was delayed in July. He often works with and alongside fellow top athletes and he had the chance to do so while training in Houston, working out with former world title contender Bryant Jennings and fellow heavyweight prospect Efe Ajagba.

His ability to remained focused on his craft and prepared for any challenge has served him well throughout his professional career. While most boxers struggled to remain active during the early days of the pandemic, Anderson scored five victories in the Top Rank bubble.

Since entering the paid ranks in October of 2019, Anderson has not gone to a decision, scoring stoppage victories in all nine of his pro fights.

In addition to his talent in the boxing ring, Anderson is known for his gregarious personality and creativity which is often featured in his in-ring attire. His previous uniforms have included a variety of themes, including a Chucky doll and a chef, so fans are surely in for a treat on October 9.

Anderson returned to Las Vegas over the weekend to complete final preparations for October 9 and will remain in Sin City with coaches Darrie Riley and Kay Koroma through fight night.

That won't wash.

And he can't blame Breland either.

So he better win this time, and the ref better keep his eyes open for any misuse of gloves.

LMFAO!!!! Fury is hysterical!!!!

[gregregegg]

As much as i dont think this fight should be happening and i belive its 2-0 fury, this card is fornicating stacked. one of the best cards to watch top to bottom iv seen in a very long time.

Darn right. Compared to last weekends utter bollocks undercard.
Campbell flippin Hatton
And Callum Smith should be at the pointy end of LHW.

[margaret thatcher]

i keep forgetting about the undercard, hardly a word about those fights....actually seems like the whole card, even the main event, kinda snuck under the radar? certainly compared to the first 2

[gregregegg]

Fury vs wiler- two top 5 heavyweights battle it out.

helenios vs kow- two evenly matched experenced top 25 heavies battle it out.

efe vs frank - two evenly matched up and coming top 25s battle it out.

Edgar Berlanga vs Coceres - USAs KO king prospect in a real step up. and over 10 rounds.

Jared Anderson vs tereshikin- USAs top heavyweight prospect in with a 6'6 southpaw(undefeated but padded).

Viktor Vykhryst vs Marshal- decent ukrainian prospect with a eh but decent opponent.

add in a pretty decent super welter and pretty decent featherweight fight.

i could genuinely see myself sitting down and watching 7 or 8 fights and being happy about it.

Deontay Wilder Plans To Wear 'Something Special' To The Ring For Third Tyson Fury Fight

The problems Deontay Wilder contends that his extravagant, heavy costume caused before his last fight haven’t deterred him from planning to wear a different elaborate outfit for his next ring walk.

Wilder explained during a Zoom call Wednesday that he’ll wear “something special” into the ring again October 9 for his third heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.
