The remainder of 2021 will host some of the most iconic boxing events which will unquestionably go down in the history books. In that elite list, the trilogy between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury tops the fan charts, and it is the biggest heavyweight title collision of this year.

The fight between these two was originally set for July 24. But the British boxer tested positive for Covid-19, resulting in this contest getting pushed to October 9 instead.

Wilder was eager to immerse himself in this battle on its set date itself. However, he will have to wait for just under two months to get his wish.

Recently, his newly looped-in trainer, Malik Scott, detailed Wilder’s anticipation for this epic clash.

“1) I’m training him now. 2) I’ve never seen him this hungry before, I’ve never seen him this receptive for the craft. And I’ve never seen him want to dismantle another man so bad,” he said, per Michael Benson’s tweet.

Wilder and Fury have met each other twice inside the boxing ring. The first time they contended with each other was in 2018. Both the hard hitters traded significant blows, but their contest dreadfully ended with a draw. As this unfinished business had to get settled, the duo fought each other once again in February 2020.

This time, it was all about ‘The Gypsy King’ battering the scary Wilder. He only inched ahead with his shots, thus stunning the Alabama native. Continuing his assault, Fury finally finished Wilder in round 7 of the fight.
