Talking about a potential fourth fight with Wilder, Fury said, “I’ve been over there [the United States] three times now, if he wants the fourth fight he’s got to come to England. Do it at Wembley, break all records again. Wilder is a phenomenal athlete and a phenomenal puncher.”

He further added, “Here’s the thing, I beat Wilder, some people say three times and some people say two and a draw. However, you want to look at it. So, would people be interested in seeing me, and him fight again for a fourth time?”

The Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder trilogy

Tyson Fury first faced Fury at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in 2018. The fight ended in a draw. However, this was a highly disputed decision, with many fans and commentators stating that Fury got robbed. While others sided with Wilder.

This build-up paved the way for yet another showdown in 2020. Fury won the bout by a 7th-round TKO. Moreover, he won Wilder’s WBC heavyweight title and the vacant The Ring heavyweight title.

The third fight in 2021 was what elevated the trilogy to the pedestal. Wilder wished to reclaim his titles. But Fury went on to win the fight via 11th-round TKO. The drama surrounding the fight and the iconic fight itself made it one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all time.
