Deontay Wilder and the team have taken a different approach in order to land a trilogy bout against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Earlier, Gypsy King had revealed that the contract binding him to a potential trilogy bout was only applicable till mid-October.

Wilder fell prey to an injury earlier in the year. However, Fury extended the contract till December in light of the global pandemic. Even that didn’t help the case as the duo failed to capitalize despite back and forth from promoters and managers.

Now, Wilder’s co-manager, Shelly Finkel, told The Athletic that they are looking for a mediation. “We’re going into it very optimistically this week.”

In this process, a retired judge, who will act as the mediator will receive the contract to study the terms as per the signed document on February 22. The entire process will take around a week, and fans can expect huge news in the coming days.

Tyson Fury vows to never fight Deontay Wilder

Earlier, the former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder took to Twitter to express what he believes were the reasons for his loss against the Gypsy King early this year.

The Bronze Bomber made multiple accusations. He claimed the Gypsy King cheated in both the bouts and called him a “thief.” Additionally, he claimed that Fury added egg weights to his gloves that eventually left a dent in his skull.

Needless to say, the accusation did not go too well with the heavyweight champion, who vowed to never fight Wilder again. After remaining silent for over a week, Fury broke his silence on the claims, denying any wrongdoings.

‘The Gypsy King’ also added that if he was anything like the “rest of the world,” he would have sued Wilder for a $100 million defamation lawsuit. However, if Wilder becomes a mandatory title contender with a win in his next bout, Fury might even have to vacate the title belt to stay true to his words.
