Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 3: Date, location, start time, PPV info, fight card, odds for heavyweight championship

Follow our live Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte updates.

Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III for the WBC heavyweight championship, arguably the biggest fight of 2021, is finally here on ESPN+ and FOX. The trilogy bout — initially scheduled for last July before Fury tested positive for COVID-19 — could complete one of the biggest rivalries ever seen in the sport.

Here’s a link to our live blog of the fight, which includes analysis from heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who bloodied Fury and took him the distance when they fought in September 2019.

Fury won the second matchup after picking apart Wilder for seven rounds before his own corner threw in the towel to end it early. Wilder knocked Fury to the floor in the first fight; but Fury miraculously got back to his feet and finished the fight that ended in a split-decision draw.

Tonight’s fight has myriad intriguing storylines. How will Wilder respond after being embarrassed in the second matchup? Will Fury’s impeccable defense be on display once again or will he get caught by a power shot? What’s on the line now that Anthony Joshua fell to Oleksandr Usyk last month?
