  • Deontay Wilder wants to end Tyson Fury's career in their third fight
  • "The Bronze Bomber" claims that Fury loaded his gloves in their rematch last year
  • Fury has yet to respond to recent comments made by Wilder

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are set to meet for the third time inside the ring on July 24 in Las Vegas.

Fury will be putting up his WBC and The Ring heavyweight championship belts on the line this time, and Wilder is going for it all in the third fight.

Their first encounter saw a split draw, which immediately prompted a second fight. In the rematch, Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round via technical knockout.

The third fight came about as their fight contract had a clause that allowed the losing party to have another shot, but with the caveat that he would be getting a 40-60 purse split.

Wilder has been widely criticized for his performance in the second meeting and is mainly the reason why he’s so intent on finishing off the trilogy with a bang.

“This (trilogy) closes the chapter of me and Fury. My mind is very violent right now and I’m trying to end his career–and other things as well, I’mma let you fill in the blank,” said Wilder as he was asked about a fourth fight.

“The Bronze Bomber” has also been pushing the narrative that “The Gypsy King” cheated in their second fight with loaded gloves.

In that same interview with 78SportsTV, the 35-year-old American doubled down on his claims.

“You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time? But my thing to him–man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under,” he stated.

“You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out."

Fury has yet to comment on these new statements.

Whether it’s by knockout or decision, the bitter rivals will surely put things to bed at the T-Mobile Arena later this month.
