One of the biggest fights of the year will go down later tonight (Sat., Oct. 9, 2021) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury puts his belt on the line in a long-awaited trilogy bout with rival and former titleholder Deontay Wilder.

This trilogy fight has been three years in the making ever since Fury and Wilder first met back in Dec. 2018. That first bout ended in a draw, but Wilder nearly flattened “Gypsy King” for a 10-count. Instead, Fury rose from the grave mid-fight and fought back to keep his undefeated record in tact.

In the rematch, which took place in Feb. 2020, Fury overwhelmed Wilder with technique, speed, and movement. “Gypsy King” ended up finishing Wilder with a TKO in the seventh round to capture the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles. It may have seemed like a definitive end to the rivalry but that simply wasn’t the case.

With Anthony Joshua losing to Oleksandr Usyk last month this trilogy fight between Fury and Wilder will crown the unofficial best heavyweight in boxing. Fury already has the edge given his undefeated record and previous win over Wilder, but “Bronze Bomber” can change everything with one single punch. You won’t want to miss it!

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder crossed paths backstage before yesterday’s weigh ins and things did not go well.

The two heavyweights have been jawing at each other all week leading into their massive trilogy bout later tonight (Sat., Oct. 9, 2021) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, but things seemed to take a personal twist before office weigh ins on Friday (results HERE).

Before the two heavyweights tipped the scale and were stopped from facing off on stage yet again, Fury and Wilder were seen mixing it up backstage. The confrontation was brief, but insults about mothers were exchanged and both teams seemed ready to abandon all professionalism and duke it out behind closed doors.

Luckily, Fury and Wilder were too far apart to get their hands on each other. Instead, they simply shouted back-and-forth before heading on stage for the final part of their pre-fight rundown. Fury ended up flipping off “Bronze Bomber” during weigh ins and we now know why.

Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Thiago Santos got back into the win column earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 2, 2021) at UFC Vegas 38 live on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he outlasted a calmed Johnny Walker to the tune of a unanimous decision.

Walker led the dance early with whipping leg kicks from the outside as he controlled the range. Santos seemed hesitant to enter inside and it prevented him from landing much of anything. “Marreta” did regain momentum in the second frame when he opened up with some hard kicks to the body. Walker kept his composure and didn’t rush in like he typically does.

In Round 3, Walker caught Santos with a nice counter hook that put the former title challenger on notice. Santos got it back with some volume kicks in the final minutes. It was much of the same in the fourth round as the two fighters exchanged kicks for five minutes. Walker did mix in some power shots during an exchange inside, but nothing that seemed to really hurt Santos.

The fifth and final frame saw Santos land a massive left hand that caught Walker flush and backed him up. Santos followed up with a nasty kick to the body. Walker tried to retaliate, but Santos was able to move around the cage out of harm’s way. Neither fighter landed anything else of true significance in the final moments of action.
