All the date and UK time details as Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder gear up to face each other for a third time
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, the fight trilogy that seemingly would never draw to an end, should come to a screeching halt as the pair finally prepare to enter the ring together for a third time.
They were due to fight on 24th July but Fury tested positive for COVID-19 just two weeks prior to the fight, resulting in a postponement.
Fury and Wilder drew in their first encounter. It was a show-stopping affair that saw Fury knocked down twice, but he produced a pair of staggering comebacks and, in the eyes of many fans across the world, had the better of the fight despite Wilder retaining his title due to the split decision.
The second contest was a very different affair, mainly for the fact that it was barely even a contest. Fury unleashed a stunning performance to floor Wilder twice. The American hit the canvas four times in seven rounds though two occasions were recorded as slips.
Fury heads into the third fight as clear favourite and will be determined to solidify his position as WBC heavyweight champion before looking to an all-British heavyweight unification bout with Anthony Joshua.
