On July 24 at the T-Mobile Arena, Britain's Tyson Fury, the WBC world heavyweight champion, will meet American Deontay Wilder, whom he beat on February 22, 2020 in a one-sided fight stopped at the 7th reprise.
In their first fight, the two men had separated in a draw, the only hitch so far for the undefeated Tyson (30 wins, 1 draw).
This Tuesday, the two men, who are forced to go through a beautiful as stipulated in a contract, made an appointment at a press conference.
Shirtless, Tyson Fury faced his rival who first wore sunglasses before removing them and headphones over his ears.
In impressive silence, the two men gazed at each other for many minutes.
Motionless and silent, the two men remained like statues for more than five minutes.
Before they are interrupted by members of the staff of both teams.
Long ... pretty silent ... incredibly intense.
This staredown was nuts, even with barely any words said. # FuryWilder3 |

In the rest of the press conference, we played classic.
Everyone has used their word to show heightened confidence.
So, Tyson Fury promised to get a quick victory.
“I'm looking for a big knockout right away,” Fury said.
I don't believe he is mentally, physically or emotionally involved in his fight ”.
"There will be a bloodbath", promises Deontay Wilder
The whimsical 32-year-old boxer, who won the WBA, IBF and WBO world belts in 2015 before relinquishing them due to personal problems mixing alcohol, drugs and depression, is convinced: “I think he's doing it for good. bad reasons.
And when people do things for the wrong reasons, they always end up getting hurt, ”he says.
In the opposing camp, Wilder, who lost his WBC belt following his loss to Fury, declined to speak, contenting himself with brief introductory remarks.
“Enough talk,” said the “Bronze Bomber”.
“It's time to cut off his head.
Because on July 24, there will be a bloodbath, buy your tickets now, I will see you soon, ”said the native of Tuscaloosa (Alabama).
He then remained silent, ignoring a moderator's questions, his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses and large headphones tightly clamped to his ears.
At 35, Wilder (42 wins, one draw and one loss) is forced to beat Fury to relaunch his career.
The "Gipsy King" was gearing up for a hugely lucrative unification fight scheduled for this summer against compatriot Anthony Joshua, the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion, until a judge's ruling last month l 'forces him to face Wilder once again for contractual reasons.
