Meanwhile, Quigley couldn't have Andy Lee in his corner because he couldn't get a visa?

Thought Lee was there with Tyson ,, Regards Tyson,s training ,, he don't look like he's not been training too me ,,, read he's gone into camp for an 8 week session ,,, but look at him swanning around the states in his physcodelic suits , playing up to the cameras ,, he don't look in bad shape , , lets have it right he's never has and never will be a hollyfield type body ,

But he's looked in good nick , sporting black eyes which suggest to me he's been getting some decent sparring ,, Nope i think its all just part of Tysons game ,,, when he's not in full camp , showing up here and there for a bit of fun , is alright , does'nt mean he's not put hrs in the gym the day before ,

Personaly if i would be worried about anything it would be he comes in too light ,, Wilder is'nt gonna get any bigger , Tyson wants to make sure he still has the size to manhandle him

I haven't seen any of his team in recent videos. Just his wife and kids.

Yep - last thing you need when you’re in training. Hassle from the kids and potentially dealing with the emotions of a pregnant wife who’ll be due some point late summer.

I saw one of him shouting his catchphrase "OYYY OYYY!" and shoving his phone at a pregnant Paris next to a pool.

Sugar Hill was there asleep on a sun lounger and gave him the finger.

Tommy Fury Willing To Face Marsellos Wilder on Fury-Wilder 3 Card

TOMMY FURY has leapt to the defense of Queensberry stablemate Daniel Dubois and backed him to bounce 'back stronger' from his injury setback.

Dubois suffered his only career defeat against Joe Joyce in ten rounds last November when he took a knee having suffered a broken eye socket.

He has now been cleared to fight by doctors and Dubois (15-1, 14 KOs) headlines on Saturday June 5 when he challenges Romanian Bogdan Dinu (20-2, 16 KOs) for the vacant WBA interim Heavyweight title, live on BT Sport.

Fury, 22, is in action on the same bill and told host Dev Sahni on Queensberry's The Lowdown: “I wasn’t in Daniel’s position. I’m not in that fight. You can only answer those things when you’ve been in that position yourself.

“I’m not gonna sit here after five professional fights, all four rounders saying what I would do in that scenario with a broken eye socket.

“I’d like to think I know what I’d do, but when you’re in that scenario it is a different story.

“Health is before wealth and I think Billy Joe Saunders did the right thing and lives to fight another day.

“I think Daniel is going to come back stronger with a knockout and back in the mix for some great fights. He just needs to keep building.

“It is so good to be on the undercard of such a good main event. It is a privilege to be on the card. I’m just looking forward to showing my skills on the night and what I’ve been learning.”

Fury (5-0, 4 KOs) wrapped up training for his contest with older brother Tyson Fury in Miami.

At the moment the WBC world heavyweight champion Fury will face Deontay Wilder for the third time on July 24 in Las Vegas.

Young Tommy fancies making it a family double on the undercard by meeting Wilder’s brother Marsellos.

He added: “That fight would make headlines. It would be a privilege to fight on Tyson’s undercard and both of us getting victories.

“I am up for that fight. I am up for anything. I am over here training, in shape so whatever comes I will be ready for.

“I’ll have a piece of him. I called him out before and he never replied.”

Tommy and FW constantly talk about other fights yet have been fighting really poor journeyman and haven’t even announced his fight for this coming Saturday.

Shame as I think he’s got a fair bit of potential.

Fury-Wilder III: T-Mobile Arena Venue Hold Approved By NSAC

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder appear to have a home for the final leg of their heavyweight trilogy.

Event co-promoters Top Rank and TGB Promotions have placed a venue hold on T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to host the third fight between Fury and Wilder. The request was approved by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) during its monthly agenda hearing held Tuesday via remote conference call.

The heavyweight championship clash is tentatively scheduled to take place July 24 on Pay-Per-View. It will mark the first fight for either boxer since their rematch last February, when England’s Fury (30-0-1, 21KOs) became the first to defeat Alabama’s Wilder (42-1-1, 41KOs) via 7th round knockout at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their bout produced the largest-ever live gate for a heavyweight main event, amassing $16,916,440 in ticket sales in addition to generating well north of $60,000,000 in PPV revenue.

Fury headlined the last boxing event to take place at T-Mobile Arena, coming in his September 2019 unanimous decision win over previously unbeaten Otto Wallin. The event came three months after Fury’s Las Vegas debut, in which he stopped Germany’s Tom Schwartz in the 2nd round of their June 2019 ESPN+ headliner from MGM Grand.

The forthcoming July 24 clash will mark Fury’s fourth straight Vegas appearance, with the event serving as the third fight in a row in town for Wilder. Prior to the rematch with Fury, Wilder registered the 10th successful defense of his WBC heavyweight title following a 7th round knockout of Luis Ortiz in their November 2019 rematch at MGM Grand. The bout took place nearly 21 months after their March 2018 thriller, with Wilder bumping off a then-unbeaten version of Ortiz via 10th round knockout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Wilder and Fury met for the first time in December 2018, fighting to a 12-round split decision draw atop a Showtime Pay-Per-View event from Staples Center in Los Angeles. The bout was the third for Fury since returning to the sport that prior June, his record now 5-0-1 (3KOs) over the span of his comeback tour after being away from the ring for more than 30 months following a November 2015 win over Wladimir Klitschko to claim the lineal heavyweight championship.

Prior to moving forward with the contractually bound third fight with Wilder, Fury was in advanced talks to face England’s Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22KOs) for the undisputed heavyweight championship. The dream superfight between the pair of British heavyweights was eyed for August 14 in Saudi Arabia, though never able to get over the finish line due to a lengthy legal battle with Wilder.

The terms of the contract for their February 2020 rematch allowed for the loser to exercise a clause calling for a third fight. Wilder did just that a week or so after their fight, only for plans to get delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and other contributing factors. Efforts to stage the event last December fell through, with reasons varying depending on which side of the story you believe.

An independent arbitration judge sided with Wilder, ruling that Fury was bound to the terms of the contract and thus could not proceed with any other fight. From there, it didn’t take long for the two sides to agree on the July 24 date.

Original plans called for the trilogy affair to head to Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders. In fact, the five-person NSAC panel was prepared to approve that agenda item before it was revealed by Bob Bennett, executive director of the Nevada commission that the stadium was no longer in play for the event.

Nevada attorney general Mike Detmer clarified the change in plans for the request to instead be for T-Mobile Arena. The venue generally serves as home to the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and has previously hosted eight boxing events dating back to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s 6th round knockout Amir Khan to defend his middleweight championship in May 2016.

The third fight between Fury and Wilder comes as Nevada has once again allowed full venue capacity for sporting and entertainment events.

Kownacki-Helenius Rematch, Efe Ajagba-Frank Sanchez Slated For Fury-Wilder Undercard

The third battle between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder won’t be the only intriguing heavyweight fight to take place July 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

BS.com has learned that the rematch between Adam Kownacki and Robert Helenius is expected to be placed on the Fury-Wilder undercard. BS.com also has confirmed that representatives for unbeaten heavyweights Efe Ajagba and Frank Sanchez are close to finalizing a deal for them to square off as part of an ESPN/FOX Sports pay-per-view venture.

Heavyweight Jared Anderson (9-0, 9 KOs), a promising prospect promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc., will be showcased in the pay-per-view opener against an opponent to be announced.

The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger was the first Tuesday night to report the Ajagba-Sanchez fight on Twitter.

As was the case with the Fury-Wilder rematch in February 2020, Top Rank (ESPN) and Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions (FOX Sports) each have the contractual right to one pay-per-view undercard bout apiece – Kownacki-Helenius II for PBC and Anderson’s fight for Top Rank – and one shared bout besides Fury-Wilder on the pay-per-view show (Ajagba-Sanchez).

Kownacki will attempt to avenge his surprising fourth-round, technical-knockout defeat to Finland’s Helenius in March 2020 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Kownacki’s hometown. Helenius (30-3, 19 KOs) knocked down the heavily favored Kownacki (20-1, 15 KOs) twice during the fourth round of a fight FOX televised.

Helenius and Kownacki agreed to terms for their rematch late last year. Their second bout was expected to be broadcast earlier this year as a “PBC On FOX” main event, but instead is an intriguing addition to the Fury-Wilder III undercard.

Nigeria’s Ajagba (15-0, 12 KOs) and Cuba’s Sanchez (18-0, 13 KOs) will meet in a high-stakes scrap that’ll legitimize one of them as a heavyweight contender.

Ajagba, a 2016 Olympian, was showcased by Haymon’s PBC before he signed a multi-fight contract with Top Rank last year. Sanchez is a PBC-affiliated fighter who has had his past two bouts streamed by DAZN as part of stablemate Canelo Alvarez’s undercards.

England’s Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), the WBC champion, and Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will fight for the third time in the main event July 24.

Fury dropped Wilder twice and won their rematch by seventh-round technical knockout when Wilder’s assistant trainer, Mark Breland, threw in the towel to spare Wilder from taking more punishment at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Wilder knocked down Fury twice in their first fight, which resulted in a 12-round split draw in December 2018 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Yeah - if that’s the final undercard then happy days.

I’d be surprised if that happens though. A more expensive undercard, less PPV revenue (I would assume given how much people wanted to see their second fight vs this one) and less gate revenue.

I think fury wins by decision this time.

same..

That is a quality card..If Warren can do the business with his UK show, than I will be plonked on my sofa all-night drinking and scoffing a curry, happy as Larry.

Don’t know, Wilder is 35 now and probably surrounded by yes man trainers. I suspect he might go over pretty easily once the going gets tough. Less than 7 rounds.

Agreed (although I’ll be scoffing down a chinese rather a curry!).

I’ll believe it when I see it though.

Right. The brutal punishment awaits the big dosser.

I can’t help but feel Fury will try to come out and bang him out in one… if he does that it’s 50/50 for me… but it also wouldn’t surprise me to see him come out southpaw and get a 120-108.

Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder III To Be Announced At Press Conference Tuesday In Los Angeles

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will return to the city where they first fought to promote their third heavyweight title fight.

Boxing Scene has learned that their third bout will be officially announced at a press conference Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles. The site of their press conference and whether it’ll be open to the public had not been determined as of Wednesday morning.

Fury and Wilder are scheduled to fight again July 24 in Las Vegas. The Nevada State Athletic Commission approved a request by Top Rank Inc. and TGB Promotions at its monthly meeting Tuesday to reserve T-Mobile Arena as the site for their ESPN/FOX Sports pay-per-view fight.

England’s Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) will defend the WBC title he won when he stopped Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) in the seventh round of their rematch in February 2020 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fury floored Wilder once apiece in the third and fifth rounds and continued to overwhelm Wilder with his pressure and physicality until Wilder’s assistant trainer, Mark Breland, threw in the towel during the seventh round.

Wilder exercised his contractual right to their third fight soon after suffering his first professional defeat. Their third encounter was tentatively scheduled three times, only to be postponed indefinitely due to crowd restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Fury’s co-promoter, and promoter Eddie Hearn then attempted to instead schedule a Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown. A deal for that very lucrative heavyweight title unification fight was near completion before an arbitrator ruled May 17 that Fury is contractually obliged to face Wilder a third time next.

Almost all terms of the contracts for their third fight were finalized in the spring of 2019 as part of a two-fight deal. The final deal points were ironed out within several days of judge Daniel Weinstein’s ruling, yet Wilder-Fury III still hasn’t been officially announced.

They fought to a 12-round split draw in their initial meeting 2½ years ago. The hard-hitting Wilder, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, floored Fury in the ninth and 12th rounds of that Showtime Pay-Per-View main event, but Fury made it to the final bell in December 2018 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

I don't know how long it will go, but Wilder has thrown enough mud at Fury that I think it's going to be a very spiteful Tyson that'll be waiting in the opposite corner. Anything can happen, because its heavyweight and Wilder is the biggest puncher out there, but I can see Fury wanting to torture him in this one: from press conference to weigh in to fight.

With Sugar Hill and Andy Lee, Fury has a very good corner. Wilder will have some sort of chance, but I expect Team Fury to have an interesting gameplan for Mr. Excuses. We'll see how it goes. I'll look forward to it.

The undercard is nothing to be sniffed at, either. Sounds like a good night in front of the box.

i like his odds better if he comes out aggressive. wilder loves to wait around and get distance to step into the long right hand. he doesnt like to engage when the opponent is throwing either. pushing him back and getting in his face takes away a lot of that danger. sometimes fighting 'cautious' actually makes things more risky

Fury wilder 3 although unnecessary for me is still very interesting. How much of furys walk fowards sucsess came from suprise? (i know he said it, but noone belived it really). Wilder has had 18 months to come up with a way around that, is it try dance around back foot a bit then load up 1-2s trying to get fury on the way in, or is it just to embrace a fire fight, chin or be chinned within the first few rounds...
I personaly think he needs to go the latter, the question is if he does is if he does at that point what are the odds on this fight? Id say fury wins 3 times out of 4, so still a big risk.

It will go about as long as in the previous fight. The Gypsky King will bash Wilder even more, but this time the corner won't stop it or will do it too late, so the fight won't end too fast, the stoppage will occur somewhere in the mid rounds.

It looked to me like he's spent at least a year of that crying and moaning and getting stoned and drunk. I doubt he's done anything boxing related particularly, and definitely hasn't worked on his lack of boxing skill, which we all know wasn't the reason for the loss. With the commission inspecting Fury's floppy gloves properly this time and removing the egg weights, making sure there's enough padding, Evil snake Breland no longer in the corner, his water not poisoned with muscle relaxant and his Eyes Wide Shut Illuminati costume being significantly lighter, there's no way he can lose.

Plus, you know, he's been hitting the pads with his best mate in his spare room.
