Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder on BT Sport Box Office on October 9

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3

T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USA 9/10/21

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will finally put their long running feud to bed as they face off in Las Vegas on Saturday 9 October for the third and final time. All the action, including the undercard, will be broadcast live on BT Sport Box Office.

With October 9th now confirmed for what is set to be the biggest heavyweight clash of the year, the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles on the line and a potential fight with Anthony Joshua waiting, both fighters will be looking to make light work of their opponent.

Fury and Wilder fought in the much-anticipated first bout in 2018, with Wilder’s fearsome punch power in full swing as he memorably floored Fury in the 12th round, before the British fighter miraculously beat the count. The fight ended in a draw that night, but the second battle in 2020 was a one-sided affair with Fury outclassing Wilder, stopping him in the 7th round. With plenty at stake, the third and final installment is set to be an absolute classic between two high class Heavyweights.

The heavyweight trilogy showdown between WBC and lineal world champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury and former world champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder — scheduled for Saturday, July 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas – has been postponed due to Fury’s positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

The two goliaths will now meet Saturday, Oct. 9 at T-Mobile Arena and live on ESPN+ PPV and FOX Sports PPV, resuming one of the great rivalries in the division’s storied history.

Tickets purchased for July 24 will be honored for the rescheduled date.

A Premier Boxing Champions presentation. Fury vs. Wilder III tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.tmobilearena.com or www.axs.com. The event is promoted by Top Rank, BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions, and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

“I wanted nothing more than to smash the ‘Big Dosser’ on July 24, but I guess the beating will have to wait,” Fury said. “Make no mistake; I will be back and better than ever. We will fight Oct. 9, and I will knock him spark out!”

Hall-Of-Fame Promoter Frank Warren added: “I’m glad that we could all agree to a new date quickly for Tyson to defend his title.

“Tyson is a fighting man, and I know how frustrated he is that he can’t compete this month. It’s such a shame to lose a fight of this magnitude to COVID.

“That said, the extra time he gets to prepare is just going to ensure he’s bigger and better than ever before – I’ve never been more certain that Tyson is going to deliver a spectacular performance and remain the number one Heavyweight on the planet!”

The ‘Gypsy King has got to show that he can come back from COVID-19 illness to successfully defend his WBC title against a motivated Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), who is seeing red right now.

Wilder is not only angry about what transpired during his rematch with Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), but now he’s angrier because he has to wait to get his chance for redemption.

Fury, 32, needs to make sure that he’s 100% healthy for the October 9th fight because the boxing public won’t want to hear excuses afterward about him being at only 50% due to his weight.

Moving the trilogy fight three months to October should give Fury plenty of time to prepare for the clash. If not, Fury needs to let his promoters at Top Rank know that he needs more time to train and/or recover from COVID-19.
