Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will fight for the third time. Fury will put his WBC belt on the line on Saturday night after producing an aggressive and dominant display to end Wilder’s five-year championship reign in the rematch in February of last year.
Wilder, also known as the 'Bronze Bomber’ was dropped twice before being stopped emphatically in the seventh round of that one-sided contest, with his opponent switching up his tactics to devastating effect after somehow bouncing back from two heavy knockdowns to claim a dramatic split-decision draw in Los Angeles in December 2018. The bout was then scheduled for July 24, only to be pushed back until October after Fury tested positive for Covid-19.
Neither man has fought since that rematch in early 2020 and the heated rivalry has continued to simmer, with one-punch knockout artist Wilder still spouting various conspiracy theories as he looks to recover from his only professional loss to date.

Fury vs Wilder 3 fight prediction:
Fury is obviously the favourite here given how fight number two panned out, with the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ producing the kind of powerful, punishing and relentless display that many didn’t think him capable of.
The worry for Wilder is that he has now faced two versions of Fury - both the slick, skilled and evasive Fury and the aggressive, dominant version - and not managed to beat either, with many still feeling that Fury actually also won the first fight despite those two big knockdowns.
At TeamKenya we anticipate Wilder likely avoiding another knockout, but Fury should be canny enough to avoid that explosive right and win comfortably on points.
