Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3: What channel is the fight on, how can I watch, what time does the Gypsy King fight the Bronze Bomber

Fight fans get ready, it’s Fury vs Wilder 3. Here’s when the bout will take place, and details of the third fight in the trilogy.

The third fight between heavyweight rivals Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder was originally set to take place on July 24, but was moved to later in the year after Fury contacted Covid-19 in July.

It didn’t stop the fighting talk in the interim though, with the rescheduled date offering the Gypsy King an opportunity to reignite the trash talk that has been prevalent between the pair since they first shared the ring back in December 2018.

“I wanted nothing more than to smash the ‘Big Dosser’ on July 24, but I guess the beating will have to wait,” Fury said after the new date was confirmed.

The two-time world heavyweight champion added: “Make no mistake, I will be back and better than ever. We will fight October 9, and I will knock him spark out.”

He has since reconfirmed his confidence in victory, referring to Wilder as a “sausage.”

Rather bizarrely, when the fight was first rescheduled, it prompted Wilder’s fiancee Telli Swift to hit out at Fury, who she claimed was just “buying time”.

“You've trained so hard, blood, sweat, and tears and then for someone to have Covid, when Deontay’s fight with torn biceps, broken fingers, burns on his arms, and he still fought.

"I just feel like with Covid, and you have 16 days until the fight, he should still be able to fight and make it happen,” she said after a PCR test showed Fury was infected.
