Fury, Wilder Battle For WBC Belt Tonight
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will do battle for the World Boxing Council (WBC) title for the third time, tonight, at the T-Mobile Arena, a multi-purpose indoor arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States.
The Gypsy King produced one of heavyweight boxing’s finest ever performances to destroy Wilder in February 2020 and become a world champion once again.
Fury will defend his World Boxing Council (WBC) against Wilder in a rematch that has been described as a revenge in Sin City.
The champion dominated Wilder in their Las Vegas rematch from the first bell, flooring his opponent several times before his corner threw in the towel.
His win led to calls for him to a face-off against fellow British superstar, Anthony Joshua, in an undisputed title clash before AJ lost his belts to Oleksandr Usyk.
After much debate, a date and venue for that era-defining fight was set but Wilder’s representatives took legal action to invoke a clause in his contract with Fury to secure a trilogy clash.
A date for their third meeting was then made for this summer, but that was put on hold with Fury sidelined after testing positive for COVID-19.
The rematch is taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a full house of 20,000 attendance and the undercard will get going at midnight UK time with the main event ring walks expected from 4am, tomorrow morning.
