WILD WARNING
Deontay Wilder has issued Tyson Fury with a harrowing warning ahead of Saturday’s clash.

GOOD MORNING!
Happy Fury vs Wilder 3 fight week, everyone!
The long-awaited trilogy fight between two of heavyweight boxing’s stars is FINALLY here.
The pair have shared 19 rounds of action in the ring together across two fights, we’ve seen four knockdowns, bloodied noses and ears, controversy, drama and all the antics you could imagine.
And it all boils down to this weekend’s Vegas settler.
Both fighters have arrived in the desert for their history-defining fight, with grand arrivals to take place on Tuesday.
There are sure to be words thrown from Fury’s side, but the last time these two met face-to-face, Wilder failed to muster a single mutterance.
The first fight ended in a barn-storming draw, while Fury decimated Wilder in their rematch last year.
Many believe Saturday’s fight will go the same way, but with Wilder’s power, there’s always a chance the American can pull something special out.
