WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is currently being poised into several fantasy matchups, including a title unification bout against Anthony Joshua and a WWE event against Drew McIntyre. That said, his trilogy contest against Deontay Wilder is still on a halt.

Amid all the rigmarole of dates and reports, Fury has confirmed that his next fight will be held against ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ ruling out every other rumor on the internet. The undefeated Brit has recently turned to social media and confirmed the trilogy battle.

However, the exact date of the event is still not final.

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 is happening!

If not for COVID-19, the blockbuster trilogy would have happened by now. However, the fight is still not off the charts. It is much more intense now.

After a controversial draw in the original contest, the rematch was full of surprises. That said, Tyson Fury manhandled his American rival throughout the contest, paying no respect to Wilder’s power.

For the first time in his career, Deontay Wilder suffered two early knockdowns in a fight. While he barely offered anything in response, Fury unloaded in round number seven to grab the WBC heavyweight strap.

It was Wilder’s first loss of his professional career, and the trilogy contest will also put a lot on the line for him. Apart from the title, it is also about the ‘Bronze Bomber’s’ heavyweight dominance. Another loss against Fury can be detrimental to his legacy.

If everything goes per plan, Fury vs Wilder 3 will happen in December. And if Fury wins, he can either get into the unification mix against Anthony Joshua or venture in the WWE to face Drew McIntyre.

However, nothing can be validated until and unless Fury vs Wilder 3 takes place.
