WBC world champion Tyson Fury took to Twitter and sent a targeted yet hilarious message to challenger Deontay Wilder. The two will face-off at the end of the year in a trilogy match-up that fans have been clamoring for. Both elite boxers have formed a storied competitive rivalry that has birthed an iconic, defining set of bouts.

Not to mention, their third meeting is expected to mark boxing’s full-fledged return with fans in attendance. Top Rank’s boss Bob Arum revealed that plans were in place to host the trilogy at the Allegiant Stadium in Vegas. Moreover, Arum expects the live attendance to be within the ballpark of 10,000 to 15,000. This is increasingly impressive when considering the second fight had an attendance of just over 17,000.

Pure Fury: Preliminary shots fired

The lineal champion is never one to hold back his verbal barbs for his opponents going into a fight. What’s more, Fury has grown his profile far beyond his fighting prowess and is well renowned for his ability to sell a fight. Not to mention, his social media presence and activity further bolsters his visibility into the mainstream, beyond the boxing landscape.
