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.
"Interesting" & "good" is what I meant. Not showcases and development fights. Only Anderson is most def a victory on the undercard, IMHO.

wilder would get plenty of votes for ko in a 4th fight, even if he were to get battered again
some ppl are just cant get past him having a huge right hand - it sounds so simple and easy to think he just needs to land once to win.

He telegraph's it and barely beats C- fighters with it
KOd Breazele but nearly got knocked out himself, Duhaupss would have been a bum of the month contender vs Wlad, gives Wilder fiTS

It's because he's contemporary, everybody wants to say they were around with the biggest puncher in history, but Luis Ortiz and his other 40 KOs don't compare to big George murdering Ken Norton and UNDEFEATED CHAMP Frazier looking dead. Arthur Szpilka not the same

Foreman and Wilder are completely different types of power.

So we’re a couple of weeks away from the fight and there’s still no word as to what channel this is on in the U.K.
I know BT have matching rights and Fury’s a big name so may not need as much as hype as other PPV fights but it’s a bit of a joke nothing’s been announced yet and it’s not getting pushed by any U.K. TV network. I do wonder what FW actually does to earn his commission at times.
I wonder if Sky will go hard for it. Won’t be a good look for BT Sport to lose it particularly with all of the rumours that BT are looking to get rid of their Sport platform.

I’m guessing BT Box Office and Frank will combine the Joyce/Takam fight on it so appeal to more people; casuals and hardcore.
£24.99 for that double-header is what I’m thinking.

You may we’ll be right but it’s 2 1/2 weeks away - surely they should have decided what’s happening before now?

Yes, I agree. But nothing is making sense over Fury/Wilder III.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this on zero UK channels and it cost us 35 quid on Fite.

Everything surrounding team Fury is just an absolute mess, bunch of amateurs.

US broadcaster not announced yet either? It's assumed it will be ESPN PPV and BT Box office double. Strange it isn't announced yet it's getting close.
Both broadcasters above are showing McGregor Poirer in UFC on PPV at the weekend, perhaps they will announce after

May be joint FOX/ESPN.
Unless part of the rematch clause was depending on the winner. Fury (ESPN) and Wilder (FOX/Showtime)
Re: Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III - 24 July 2021
The lengthy wait endured by Alberto Puello and Rances Barthelemy has been awarded with a considerable upgrade.
The pair of junior welterweights will collide July 24 on the undercard of the third fight between lineal/WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) and former titlist Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout was confirmed by PBC representatives after appearing on the Nevada State Athletic Commission monthly agenda hearing, with the referee and judges to be selected during the session this Wednesday.
The bout takes place nearly 11 months after its previously scheduled date last September 6, to have appeared on a PBC on Fox telecast from a crowdless Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Those plans were scrapped after Puello was unable to secure a travel visa in time to make the trip from his native Dominican Republic. The September 6 PBC on Fox show moved forward, with Yordenis Ugas outpointing Abel Ramos to win a version of the WBA welterweight title.
Puello (18-0, 10 KOs) was supposed to make the first defense of his WBA interim junior welterweight title on the card. That moment instead came in a sixth-round knockout of Argentina’s Cristian Rafael Coria last December 17 in Santo Domingo. The 26-year-old southpaw is now based out of Las Vegas and set to make his U.S. debut.
Barthelemy (28-1-1, 14 KOs) was hoping for the fight with Puello to proceed as planned last September, as part of his penance for the awful taste left behind from his previous contest.
The former two-division titlist from Cuba—now also based out of Vegas—served as one half of an unwatchable 12-round draw with Robert Easter in their April 2019 lightweight battle. The vacant title fight was considered by the majority of observers to be one of the worst televised bouts in recent boxing history, with such criticism accepted by Barthelemy and Easter who both publicly vowed to do much better in their next respective fights.
“In debt with the public, I know,” Barthelemy claimed at the time. “September 6, I’m paying dues.”
That date came and went without such an opportunity. His stay-busy fight in place of a straightaway shot at Puello didn’t help matters any, as he outboxed Philippines’ All Rivera over ten rounds in a largely forgettable fight this past January on Fox from Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Televised coverage for Puello-Barthelemy has yet to be finalized as this goes to publish. The evening’s main event between Fury and Wilder tops an all-heavyweight four-fight Pay-Per-View telecast jointly presented by ESPN+ and Fox Sports. The two entities also joined forces for Fury-Wilder II last February, with select undercard bouts offered simultaneously on ESPN2 and FS1.

Deontay Wilder repeating that Fury had loaded gloves. He’s genuinely entertaining.
