Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3: Five biggest storylines to watch in the trilogy fight from Las Vegas
CBSN
The pair of heavyweights will throw down for a third time in front of a massive crowd at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night
With the heavyweight division already turned upside down thanks to unified champion Anthony Joshua's upset loss to Oleksandr Usyk two weeks back, it's difficult to know exactly what to expect from Saturday's trilogy bout between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) will defend his WBC and lineal titles some 20 months since the last time he entered the ring when he battered Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) to the tune of a seventh-round TKO in their rematch. The first meeting between the two fighters ended in a disputed split draw in 2018 after Fury, who largely outboxed Wilder, survived two knockdowns.
Everything from the gap in time between the second and third fights to the fact that Fury originally thought he was fighting Joshua this summer for the undisputed title until Wilder forced a court injunction plays into the unpredictability of this fight inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. So does Wilder's other worldly punching power, which has long covered a magnitude of sins.
