Fury v Wilder 3: The story so far

Two fights down, and although the current champion Fury thought he had put an end to any doubts that he is the better man of the two, we find ourselves in a position to watch Wilder attempt to regain his heavyweight crown for the first time in his career.

A controversial draw in the first fight, with Fury being knocked down in the 12th round after putting on a boxing clinic for the previous 11, the second fight between Fury and Wilder was scheduled for February 2020, with many worried the Brit wouldn’t be so lucky if the champion were to catch him with the same punch that saw him floored in Fury v Wilder 1.

What followed was one of the best performances we’ve seen from a British fighter on away soil. Fury, who gave his game plan away on multiple occasions in the press conference leading up to the fight, weighed in heavier than the first fight, with the promise he would stop Wilder in the second round with a knockout.

And although he couldn’t keep his promise, after two rounds it was clear for all to see that this was a Tyson Fury reborn, a new animal with power in his hands, and one not afraid to come forward and trade with Wilder, still to this day one of the most dangerous punchers in the history of boxing.

It was in the second round that Fury did indeed have Wilder wobbled, the first time in any of their previous 13 rounds in the ring together, and the champion had no answers for what was to come – a brutal barrage of right- and left-hand combinations over the course of seven rounds, until his then trainer Mark Breland put a stop to the contest by throwing in the towel.

Now, over a year and a half on, Wilder will meet his most formidable foe for a third time, in the hope that his adjustments made with new trainer Malik Scott will be enough to supersede the boxing prowess of Fury, in what will likely be the last time they meet in a boxing ring.
