Tyson Fury has announced that he’s signed his contract to face Deontay Wilder for a third time, expected to go down on July 24, hitting the set during tonight’s Ramirez-Taylor show on ESPN.
“I just signed the Deontay Wilder contract,” Fury announced as he basically stormed the broadcast desk between fights. “Bitch, you’re getting knocked out! Knocked out!”
Since you know the story by now — Fury-Joshua isn’t happening, Wilder won arbitration decision, third fight is on with Fury, etc. — that’s about all there is to say. Fury is supposed to return later on the broadcast for a more official sort of interview, but the news is that the fight between Fury (30-0-1, 21 KO) and Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KO) appears to be fully on and good to go.
Again, the good news is that at least we’re not dragging this out.
