\u201cI\u2019m excited to once again be fighting in Las Vegas, the home of The Gypsy King,\u201d Fury said. \u201cFor the last 18 months, I\u2019ve been living rent free in Wilder\u2019s head. He got smashed to pieces in our last fight, and for some reason, he wants it again. Let\u2019s go. The Big Dosser is getting knocked spark out.\u201d

Wilder said, \u201cNothing has changed. It\u2019s still one face, one name, one champion \u2013 Deontay Wilder. I\u2019m in the best shape of my life. July 24, I\u2019m going to show the people why I\u2019m still the baddest man on the planet.”

Hall-Of-Fame Promoter Frank Warren said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m delighted to see Tyson Fury have an opportunity to defend his prestigious WBC Heavyweight Championship of the world. Since making his comeback with Queensberry in 2018, Tyson has showed the remarkable character he has\u00a0and cemented himself as the best heavyweight of his generation.
\u00a0
“Make no mistake though, this is no easy fight. Deontay Wilder is an incredibly dangerous puncher and clearly has tremendous self-belief for invoking this rematch.
\u00a0
“I\u2019m sure this will be another absolute classic and I remain confident Tyson will prevail again and we can hopefully look forward to an Undisputed fight in the future.\u201d

\u00a0Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), from Manchester, England, has held the lineal heavyweight crown since dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. His comeback from substance abuse and mental health issues inspired millions, and it was the two fights against Wilder that propelled him back to the top of the heavyweight heap. Their December 2018 draw \u2014\u00a0with Fury rising off the deck in the climactic 12th<\/sup>\u00a0round \u2014 elevated both men to the forefront of the boxing world. Fury knocked out Wilder in the seventh round of their one-sided February 2020 rematch; however, Wilder wanted an immediate third crack at his 6\u20199, 270-pound adversary.
\u00a0
Wilder (42-1, 41 KOs), a 2008 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, won the heavyweight title in January 2015 and re-energized the heavyweight division, captivating fans with his electrifying power and charisma. Wilder held the WBC heavyweight world title for more than five years, notching 10 consecutive successful defenses, more than all-time greats Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and Lennox Lewis, while earning a reputation as one of the most devastating punchers in boxing history. Nine of his 10 title defenses ended via knockout, including a pair of come-from-behind victories over Cuban star Luis Ortiz and a one-punch, first-round demolition over 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazeale. Wilder\u2019s knockout ratio of more than 93 percent still stands as the highest for any heavyweight champion, past or present.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
