WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is not underestimating the danger involved in the upcoming trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.

The third encounter takes place on July 24th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Their rematch took place back in February of 2020 at the MGM Grand. Fury dominated the contest and stopped Wilder in the seventh round, when former co-trainer Mark Breland threw the towel in.

After the fight, Wilder had a variety of reasons for the loss - including a claim that his ring-walk costume was too heavy, that his water may have been spiked, and allegations that Fury illegally manipulated his gloves.

Wilder parted ways with Breland and hired former foe Malik Scott as a new trainer.

Fury is planning to follow the same strategy as he did in the second encounter, by coming forward and throwing big punches.

However, he believes Wilder has yet to mentally recover from the first defeat of his pro career. 

“Yeah. I’ve done nothing wrong, I just continue to do what I do. Keep moving forward and landing pressure on him, landing big punches - he’s the one that’s coming off a knockout loss and one sided fight," Fury said to Gareth Davies.

"He’s the one who’s got to tell himself all these reasons why he lost and sack everybody on his time and blame everybody and point the finger.

"If you’re an alcoholic or drugs addict, the only way you can actually move on from that is acceptance. He still hasn’t moved on from defeat, that’s what I think is happening with Wilder. But he’s not to be underestimated, he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
