Heavyweight boxing fans might not have been able to enjoy Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s proposed “Battle of Britain” this year, but fresh off the back of “AJ” getting taught a lesson by Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk comes another top-tier throwdown.

Fury takes on Deontay Wilder for the third part of their fascinating rivalry. The first encounter in Los Angeles in December 2018, saw the “Bronze Bomber” send the “Gypsy King” to the canvas twice but Fury bounced back up for the draw.

The British fighter then took what he learned when Wilder sent him sprawling and came out all guns blazing in the rematch in February, 2020 – this time he knocked Wilder down twice.

The fight was stopped in the seventh round with Wilder’s corner throwing in the towel and ended with Fury and his entourage having an impromptu karaoke session in Las Vegas belting out “American Pie”.
