Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 is finally about to happen on Saturday October 9 after yet another delay when Fury and members of his team tested positive for COVID-19 in early July 2021. WATCH HEARE :: Fury and Wilder had been initially slated to meet in the second half of 2020 in their trilogy meeting – but when a final bid to stage it on December 19 failed, the game appeared to be up. Fury “moved on” and instead signed up to meet Anthony Joshua twice in 2021 in huge unification fights. Which left Wilder very much on the outside looking in when it came to the title picture. Wilder’s team, confident it still had the right to that third bout, took the case to arbitration. And on Monday May 17, 2021, arbitrator Daniel Weinstein ruled in their favour. His ruling said Fury must fight Wilder for a third time by September 15, 2021 with no chance of a step-aside payment to Wilder delaying things. ‘The Bronze Bomber’, quite simply wanted this fight more than he wanted money. So it appeared to be full steam ahead for Fury vs Wilder 3, on Saturday July 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fury signed his contract for the bout on live TV during ESPN’s coverage of Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez on Saturday May 22. The pair came face to face in a Los Angeles press conference in June, and engaged in a six-minute staredown after Wilder had worn headphones during the conference and refused to take media questions. ©
