Fury closes Wilder rematch before Joshua fight

“We signed a contract, and then I’m going to beat Wilder. I have a chance to beat Wilder again. Last game, he escaped too early,” Fury said. ESPN, when appearing in the unification match of the four WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO welterweight championship belts between Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez in Nevada, USA on May 23.

On May 24, Top Rank – Fury’s management company – confirmed, the British boxer will compete in the third match with Wilder on 24/7 in Las Vegas.

In the first meeting at the end of 2018, the two boxers drew after 12 rounds. In the rematch in February 2020, Fury dominated and won by technical knockout in the seventh round.

Losing this fight, Wilder has the right to ask Fury to make a rematch immediately after, according to the signed contract. But the 35-year-old American boxer did not activate that clause, because of a shoulder injury and concern about the impact of Covid-19.

Fury’s side thinks that the contract expires in the last month of 2020 and arbitrarily looks for a new opponent. In March, the heavyweight boxing champion and Anthony Joshua signed a contract to unite all four of the most prestigious heavyweight titles, including the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC heavyweights.

However, on May 17, Mr. Daniel Weinstein – who holds the right to rule on the terms of the fight with Fury – issued a ruling ordering the 32-year-old boxer to honor his contract, and fight a third fight with Wilder before the date. 9/15. Fury, therefore, must defend the title against Wilder before he can fight for a unified title fight with Joshua.

Despite having to fight Wilder, Fury still wants to fight with Joshua as originally planned. He said: “I will fight Joshua. 100% sure. He talks a lot, but has no qualities. Sure, the fight will be this year. I will beat Wilder, before the judgment. reason Joshua”.
