Tyson Fury will cement his place among the very best with a win over Deontay Wilder 

Getting a fight done in boxing is not easy. Especially when it is at the highest level. This was proved when the fight between Fury and Joshua, arguably the biggest heavyweight fight of this decade, fell through. Following successful litigation by Wilder and his camp, he was able to exercise the option for a trilogy that was present in their contract. 

This set up an extremely exciting trilogy fight between two of the biggest names, not just at heavyweight, but boxing in general. The press conference between the two men showed that Wilder took a different approach. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ did not answer any questions from the press, stating the time for talking was done.

On October 9, both men have a lot to prove in the fight. For Wilder, it is a chance to secure a win and establish himself as the top heavyweight once again. For Fury, it is a chance to further establish himself as the top dog at heavyweight and set up a super fight against Joshua should he secure a win against Usyk.
