Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will close off their rivalry by locking horns for one last time. Following two gruesome encounters in the past, they both have held the WBC heavyweight championship. While unified champion Anthony Joshua had his right to influence the journey, Wilder’s subtle move has temporarily shattered a possible unification bout between ‘AJ’ and Fury.

The matchup is still relevant, but not before Wilder gets his shot at the WBC world title. The former titleholder, who won his arbitrary case against Tyson Fury, will reportedly get his trilogy on July 24 at the Allegiant Stadium.

Fury vs Wilder 3 is imminent and will determine the best possible contender for Anthony Joshua. That said, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ now has a chance to avenge the sole loss of his pro career. He has made a few changes in his training camp, replacing Mark Breland with Malik Scott as head trainer.
