Boxing politics really do suck.Īt least it looks like Fury vs Wilder 3 will now happen at long last – with the countdown well and truly on to that October showdown for the WBC, Ring magazine and lineal heavyweight titles.Īnd you can look back at their final press conference on the Strip, which took place Wednesday afternoon local time. And now Fury vs Joshua might never happen after AJ lost his titles in a shocking unanimous decision to Oleksandr Usyk. This came just 24 hours after a gleeful Fury had confirmed the Joshua date and venue in a social media post. Thus wrecking the plan for Fury to instead face fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in a huge unification match in Saudi Arabia on August 14. It said Fury must give Wilder that third fight, and do so by September 15.

Several months later, in early May to be exact, the ruling from Daniel Weinstein came down – shockingly it was in favor of ‘The Bronze Bomber’. Wilder’s team though believed its contract was still enforceable – and took the matter to arbitration. You get the picture.įury (30-0-1) and Wilder (42-1-1) had been slated to meet for a third time back in 2020, but after a number of false starts ‘The Gypsy King’ said he was “moving on” in late December.

This fight seems to have had more postponements than Tom Brady has won Super Bowl rings.

When you think about Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3, the odds are you start to feel like that woman on ‘Titanic’ who says “it’s been 84 years” – you know the meme…
