The third installment between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder has been officially announced. The two boxing heavyweights will battle for the coveted WBC world heavyweight championship next month at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Fury and Wilder met at a press conference on Tuesday night and came face-to-face for the first time since their rematch back in 2020.
Fury and Wilder fought to a controversial match back in 2018 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles which ended as a draw, where many fans believed the Brit had done enough to earn a win. The near 7 feet tall giant will put his WBC world heavyweight championship on the line against the fearsome knockout specialist.

What happened in their last match?
The last time these two met was a rematch between undefeated and reigning WBC champion Deontay Wilder and undefeated former champion Tyson Fury, for the WBC championship. The rematch against The Gypsy King brought Deontay Wilder’s first professional loss and stripped him of his WBC heavyweight title giving him a technical knockout by the 7th round.
Since the loss, Deontay Wilder has put forth several elaborate conspiracy theories in an attempt to spin the narrative of the rivalry. Wilder’s stories range from him claiming that his entrance attire wore his legs out before the fight to accusing Tyson Fury of tampering with his gloves to gain a power advantage.
