[Boxing]: Arbitration judge orders Fury vs Wilder 3rd fight

[Kittygalore]

ESPN is reporting that Wilder and Fury have come to a verbal agreement and they will fight on July 24 or August 14 in Las Vegas. I think out of Fury and Joshua, Fury will have the tougher matchup against Wilder than Joshua against Usyk.

That's a bit stupid and rude for Wilder to suddenly interrupt the bout against Joshua but if both camps agreed to it, I think that we just have to accept what their decision is, I was looking forward to the Fury versus Joshua fight.

Fury won pretty easily last fight. Of course Wilder tried to blame it on everything except the fact that he wasn't ready for the fight. I barely watch boxing anymore since MMA is so popular but these big heavyweights are probably the only thing keeping boxing alive.

Plot twist, Wilder wins against Fury, reclaims his belt, and he then challenges AJ.

Just kidding.

If nothing significantly changes for both fighters, Fury will win again. Regarding the judge's decision, I think it's correct because they cannot turn down rematch clause just because of the pandemic.

Well, heavyweights are exciting, but other divisions are exciting as well.
Mind you, Manny Pacquiao is still fighting and this guy is a legend, every time he had a fight, it makes the boxing world focus on his fight.

I'm sure there are still other good fighters, but maybe boxing nowadays is not as exciting as before.

Me not a big fan of MMA but more on boxing and basketball as well.

So still not yet over for Deontay Wilder as the arbitration judge rule in favor of him. They are now ordered to take a 3rd fight and Tyson Fury will have to honour the contractual clause.

So I guess the Fury vs Joshua fight will have to wait.

Lineal and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will have to honor a contractual clause which calls for a third fight with Deontay Wilder, arbitration judge Daniel Weinstein ruled on Monday.

So let's see how this goes, it's a cluster f**k right now, we have been hype of the Fury vs Joshua reunification, but I guess it won't happen this year.

This is unexpected and very surprising, we are all into the Joshua Fury hype all talks since last year are all about the Joshua - Fury fight it's good for the boxing community, I support the Joshua - Fury fight more than Wilder's third match, the Wilder match is still exciting but not as exciting as the Joshua - Fury because the boxing community wants something new the Wilder fight will just become the continuation of their second match.
Fury will again punish Wilder because Fury now knows how to beat Wilder.

When you step in the ring with someone like Wilder they always have a chance. Wilder probably still does have one of the biggest punches in boxing. Fury has got caught more than once with it, and of course the famous one, it was pretty damn close to being counted out. I think personally Fury will come in the same fashion as last time, put Wilder on the back foot, and as we saw last time Wilder doesn't really know how to fight while he is backpedaling.

For Wilder to have anything more than a chance of a big punch, he would have had to work on his jab, managing the distance better, working on fighting off the back foot, and moving his head more. I don't see him working on all of that in around a year, considering he had an injury which was originally the reason for moving the fight back.

The biggest adjustment should come from Wilder, Fury has nothing to change in his style he will still move around the ring and be elusive and counter punch, Wilder should change his style and find a way to land that big punch, he's been knocking out people with one punch but with Fury, he has a hard time connecting that will be his assignment.

Wilder should change his style and find a way to land that big punch, he's been knocking out people with one punch but with Fury, he has a hard time connecting that will be his assignment.

Its unlikely though. Most boxers which change their style on a rematch or make the adjustments to get the edge are somewhat skilled in the art of boxing. Wilder isn't much of a boxer, he's more a brawler, and relies on that right hand, which to be fair to him up until he came up against Fury, and even to a certain extent during the Fury fight has worked for him.

So, I'm not trying to say Wilder doesn't deserve to be in that ring, but I can't see him making drastic changes with a little over a year to do it in. Especially, since he lacks some of the fundamentals of boxing anyway. He will likely be counting on that big right hand of his again, and who knows Fury might get caught again. In the second fight, Fury didn't give him much time at all to wait for that perfect moment. Instead, he put him on the back foot, and quite frankly was boxing his head off. I don't think Wilder will come up with a solution to that, other than what he's been doing to his other opponents for a while; using that big ol' right hand of his to knock them on their arse.

Tyson Fury will beat mentally unstable Deontay Wilder so easy if third fight ever happen, but I personally think Wilder does not deserve anything after acting crazy like he did.
I am not interested of watching this fight again and if other people don't want to pay and watch it than nobody can force it to happen.
What I really want to see is Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua as soon as possible.

^ Possible.
But if a legal case would exist on this, I think the Fury vs Joshua could really be moved. But I personally think that Fury could reconsider his decisions about this. Their match should go through, the previous case could be moved somewhere as per request. I will find it really disappointing if their match (FURY AND JOSHUA) will be affected by this issue. They just had it set and this thing popped out, is this a setup to delay the fight intentionally? Or is it a publicity stunt that would make the viewers become more interested to pursue the match?

[Ryker1]

Well, I think it is not Fury’s fault that Wilder disappeared after the match. We also can’t blame Wilder as possibly the reason for him to disappear is the pandemic that we are experiencing at the moment. Well if this is the case, and if the judge has their final decision about this and favors Wilder, then I think Fury really had to honor the contract. So be it, --let us just see what would happen on the rematch. Then Fury can continue his agreement with Joshua. And Joshua would understand if the match would be delayed, not their faults anyway.

Bob Arum already confirmed that the third fight will happen, and as the clause is already laid out, it will be easy to make the fight.

And it's probably be in July, so if Fury wins and then Joshua wins as well against his mandatory, then everything can be set up again next year for Fury vs Joshua. It's not that complicated, its that this boxer has ego as big as Jupiter, goes to the media and blame each other for the delays and issues regarding this super fight.

[plr]

Legally you can't force Fury to fight Wilder if Wilder declines to step aside but it will have some serious financial consequences and they would waste a lot of time on lawsuits that they are better off doing the trilogy. It is likely that Fury wins by KO again and then we can see Fury vs. Joshua at the end of the year.

Wilder decline the set-aside money because he wants to get in contention right away, which is dangerous for his career if he gets beaten again it will be over for Wilder, he doesn't want a tune-up fight or a fight to get his career back, a trilogy is good, the boxing community is anxious what Wilder is going to show now that he was dominated by Fury on their last fight.

[South Park]

I saw that news when it came out and this basically means that we are going to get a third fight between Fury and Wilder, I will see it of course as I am a fan of boxing but there is not going to be any hype on my part as I do not think Wilder has the necessary skills to pull an upset against Fury, so once gain promoters found a way to kill excitement for the biggest fight of the year and we do not have any idea when the fight will happen.

We've seen this drama on how it did end up on Wilder and surprisingly they do able to find out some way to make this Trilogy to happen which is way too unexpected.
Im dying to see on how Fury would end up this drama and move on ahead and fight AJ. Im not that interested with Wilder anymore but it somehow needs
to be settled for good.

I am not too excited about this either but the problem is what will happen after that? I have no doubt that Fury will once again beat Wilder and he will be in a perfect position to fight a reunification fight, however what happens if Joshua losses to Usyk? To me that is a real possibility and if it happened then the big mega fight that everyone was expecting to happen will have to be delayed once again and at that point most of the hype will be gone for the match of Fury against Joshua.

I'm sure you will watch it regardless of the outcome. I'm not sure why most people seem to be discounting Wilder. Fury didn't beat him in the first fight and he was very lucky to get up at all. Some premature refs would have probably waved it off and he might have even been counted out had he started the count earlier. Regardless of how much he acted like a sore loser after this fight he deserves it due to contractual obligations if not for the best of three. I'm sure Fury would have wanted a the rematch had he lost and you never know how a fighter is going to handle defeat. Some are humble like AJ and others cry about everything but it's not uncommon for fighters to blame ludicrous things. It would be interesting to see how Fury would handle a defeat and I certainly don't think it's going to be a walk in the park for Fury. I actually think Wilder is/will be a together opponent than AJ for him. I'd actually like to see AJ and Wilder fight at some point. Maybe/hopefully it will happen after they've got their mandatories out of the way.

It's not a publicly stunt. They can't do anything about the arbitration finally making their decision and we've know this was going on for quite some time, but Fury's camp should have mentioned that it was still going on and could cause issues.
