- Date: Saturday 24 of July
- Location: T-Mobile Arena, Paradise, Nevada
- Fury vs Wilder 3 Ring Walk Time (expected): Midnight ET / 9 pm PT / 5 am BST / 2 pm AEST
Fury played his opponent in their second meeting in February 2020,
two knockdowns on either side of some outrageous stumbles that proved enough for the American corner to throw in the towel. The fight was stopped in Round 7 with Wilder bleeding from his mouth and ear. But it was his ego that took the brunt of it, as Wilder did himself a disservice after the fight by resorting to a series of increasingly outlandish excuses. Fury may be 6-foot-9 and isn't exactly aerodynamic, but he can move like few others, as evidenced by Wilder, who only landed 17% and 24% of his punches in his first two fights, versus 26% and 31. % Fury. However, one punch can change everything, and no one punches harder than Wilder. It's almost time to settle that once and for all, and
here is everything you need to know about Fury vs Wilder 3.

Who is Tyson Fury?
Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury is the undefeated heavyweight champion of the WBC and The Ring, and is widely regarded as the Unified Linear Champion of the World.
The 32-year-old, who is 6-foot-9, he is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world and the only boxer to beat two champions with at least
10 successful title defenses behind them.
He won Wladimir Klitschko's WBA, WBO IBO, IBF and The Ring titles in 2015, but was forced to abandon them due to a combination of factors including contract disputes, doping violations and health concerns.
Despite the big weight gain and only two pre-season fights, Fury fought the then-WBC heavyweight champion in December 2018., getting knocked down twice but otherwise looking like a top boxer. The fight was controversially marked as a draw, but Fury dominated the rematch in February 2020 with Wilder's corner throwing in the towel in the seventh round after his man was knocked out twice.
