The final fight in the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder trilogy was such a success, even Dana White was forced to give them a tip of the cap.

Fury and Wilder met for the third and presumably last time on Saturday night. ‘The Gypsy King’ was able to defend his WBC and The Ring titles with an 11th-round knockout. The fight was a back-and-forth affair that saw both men get dropped. It’s already being proclaimed by some as the greatest heavyweight title fight in the history of boxing.

Of course, White has had more than his fair share of grievances about the state of boxing and the promoters who run it. However, even he was forced to give credit where credit is due following the epic match (h/t MMA Junkie).

“I thought it was awesome,” White told reporters at the UFC Apex following Tuesday’s Contender Series event. “Going into it, my thought process was, ‘For what? Why?’ (Joshua) just got beat, and why do that? You know why? Because boxing needed that fight. It was an incredible heavyweight fight. I thought both guys fought their asses off and for Fury to come in 277 pounds and fight the way that he fought, get knocked down, get back up, keep fighting – it’s just exactly what boxing needed, so (I’m) glad it happened. Congratulations to both of them, everybody involved and the sport of boxing.”

White himself has dabbled with the idea of going into the boxing business, even going so far as to trademark ‘Zuffa Boxing’. He often spoke about entering the boxing world and fixing the “broken model” that he claimed plagued the sport. Unfortunately, we never got a chance to see what he would do with his own promotion, as he effectively put a halt in his plans in late 2020.

Are you surprised to see Dana White giving boxing credit? Will we ever see him run his own boxing promotion?

The two boxers have been trash-talking each other left and right to the lead-up of their third fight. Wilder a little less than Fury has, since he was at a few press conferences with headphones on and the inability to speak for some odd reason. In the videos, the two exchange a decent amount of trash talk about the others mother. Talking about your opponent’s mother was a grey area that fighters usually don’t cross the line into. Sure, we have seen fighters like Conor McGregor talk about his opponent’s wife, but rarely does ‘good ol’ ma’ come into the trash talk.

Wilder threw the first “F*ck your mom” out there first in the video, with Fury retaliating with the same followed up by Fury calling Wilder a “piece of sh*t”. In the first video it is hard to make out what the two are exactly exchanging in words, but you can hear a bunch of obscenities being thrown around by Fury. At the end of the video you can hear Fury call Wilder a “f*cking p*ssy” The two did not face-off after the weigh-in.

Both fighters weighed in at the heaviest they have ever been for a fight. Fury did this last fight and said the extra weight would do him good in the power aspect of his punching. He was right and walked Wilder down for most of the fight and finished it via TKO. It seems as if Wilder may be taking a page out of Fury’s book. The extra added weight could make Wilder that much more dangerous this time around. We will have to wait to see if Wilder still has the speed to go with that superhuman right hand he possesses.

This is stacked up to be a great fight this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Who do you think takes this trilogy bout? Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder?

The fight with the WBC heavyweight title up for grabs ended in a split decision draw. The scorecard saw 115–111 for Wilder while 114–112 for Fury. The decision was highly controversial as the majority of people thought that Fury got it done with 115-111 on the scorecards.

Timeline

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, recently told ESPN that the two sides are in talks for the rematch.If a deal can be worked out then the fight wouldn’t take place in California and it would likely go down before June. It’s expected to do big business considering the first fight pulled in 325,000 PPV buys.

“The venue is looking like the U.S., that’s where the money is. Tyson was disappointed with the judging with the last fight. As I was, so a lot of things need to be sorted but the U.S. is where they want it. Probably in the second quarter.

“Vegas would be one of the options. I wouldn’t want to go back to California, I didn’t like working with the Californian commission. There were a lot of things we didn’t like there. Tyson is already in the gym working hard, ticking over. I think we would get it [the fight versus Wilder] before June.”
