      Follow ALL of the latest news and updates below…
      FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE
      But Fury hit back: “I knocked you out dosser! You are a weak man and you are getting knocked out.
      “I have come here looking a million dollars and you have turned up looking like a tramp.
      “He is a lying little dosser and an insecure little s***. He has been done, beaten, busted.
      “This little p***y got his a*** handed to him twice and he can’t do f*** all about it.”
      There was NO head to head at the end, as per instructions from worried promoter Bob Arum.

      FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE
      Though Wilder insists Fury robbed him with a range of scams.
      He said: “I don’t regret the claims I made and I will go to my grave believing it because I have confirmation and clarity.
      “Men and women lie but the eyes can’t, the eyes don’t lie.

      FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE
      Fury opted for one of his trademark suits for the press conference.
      This one emblazoned with his WBC heavyweight title…

      PURE FURY
      Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have exchanged words at their final press conference before Saturday’s fight…and it’s been explosive!
      Fury has told Wilder face-to-face that he is a ‘weak little person’ for accusing him of cheating.
      The 35-year-old accused Fury of loading his gloves and paying off members of his team for the February 2020 war he lost.
      And, at the pre-fight press conference when Wilder was given the chance to retract and apologise, he doubled down on the claims, leaving Fury raging.
      The Brit giant fumed: “I don’t care, because it is coming from an unwell person.
      “He blamed me, his trainer, his costume, the referee, the commission, one might have been believable but not 50.
      “It just tells me he is a mentally weak little person who I am going to beat again.
      “I obliterated him in the rematch and he is getting it again.”

      ‘ANTI-CLIMAX’ 
      Tyson Fury is gutted Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Oleksandr Usyk cost him £75million.
      Saudi Arabia were ready to stump up mega-money to host the all-English undisputed heavyweight decider in August, helping raise around £200m for the pair to split.
      But Fury has no interest in gloating or sticking the boot in, despite feeling Joshua costing him.
      Fury told IFL: “It was a bit of an anti-climax but no part of me was happy that he lost.
      “We were all in the front room saying ‘come on win the fight, land a big right hand’.
      “Why would I be pleased? There just goes £75million down the toilet so I wasn’t pleased that he lost.”
      TRILOGY SPECIAL
      Tyson Fury defends his WBC belt against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend.
      And punters can back three amazing specials on the blockbuster heavyweight showdown PLUS new Sky Bet customers can claim a whopping £40 in free bets!
      The pair meet for their trilogy fight in Las Vegas on Saturday.
      The ‘Gypsy King’ is an overwhelming 4/11 favourite to successfully defend his belt.
      But Wilder could prove a more difficult obstacle with new trainer Malik Scott in his corner.
      The 35-year-old was knocked out by Fury in February 2020 after their first contest ended in a controversial draw where the Briton twice hit the canvas.
      History could repeat itself this weekend with Fury available at 7/1 to win the contest having been knocked down with Sky Bet.
      Fury can also be backed at 9/1 to win by Unanimous Decision and Wilder to be knocked down in Rounds 1-6.
      But if you fancy an upset, YOU can back Wilder to win by KO/TKO in Rounds 1-3 & 3+ knockdowns in the fight at giants odds of 25/1.
      FULLY FOCUSED
      Deontay Wilder has shared the reason why he stayed silent at the first press conference ahead of his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury.
      The Bronze Bomber only spoke to give a brief statement before putting on headphones when he met Fury in June.
      And the American explained that the reason he done that is because he means business this time around, he hasn’t come to entertain.
      He told ESNEWS: “I just mean business, I didn’t come here to play around.
      “I’m strictly business when it comes to this fight. I’mma let him do the circus, let him promote it and do it.”
      FRIEND OR FOE
      Deontay Wilder needs to set aside friendships if he’s to have any chance of finally defeating Tyson Fury.
      That’s the view of legendary trainer Harold Knight, who says the appointment of Wilder’s friend Malik Scott as his head coach could spell trouble for the Bronze Bomber.
      The pair teamed up earlier this year to prepare for the highly anticipated trilogy bout with Fury.
      And Knight – who coached Scott and has worked with Dillian Whyte and Lennox Lewis – warned Wilder he needs to stay businesslike ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
      Knight told MyBettingSites: “From experience and being around Malik for a long time, it’s a fine line between friendship and business.
      “If Malik can keep it business rather than friendship with Wilder, I believe they can do some good things.
      “This is business, this is high stakes boxing, this is world championship boxing, legacy is on the line.”
      WALL FAN
      Deontay Wilder has been urged to ‘man up’ and accept defeat if he has any chance of beating Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout.
      Fury brilliantly beat Wilder in their February 2020 rematch, after they dramatically drew in 2018.
      Otto Wallin, the last man Fury beat before his crowning night over Wilder, has hit out at the Bronze Bomber for refusing to acknowledge his loss.
      And he fears it will hold back the former champion from recognising what went wrong and fixing it – playing right into Fury’s hands.
      Swedish fighter Wallin, 30, told SunSport: “I think that Fury is going to win again. I find it strange with Wilder, all the excuses.
      “That really makes me question, how much can you really improve if you have to keep coming up with excuses?
      “I feel like Wilder’s got to man up and take the loss, he lost fair and square to the better man, realise that and start working.”
      DRESS IT UP
      Deontay Wilder plans to wear another eccentric outfit into the ring when he faces Tyson Fury.
      Critics blamed the last one Wilder wore for his defeat to Fury the last time they met.
      But Wilder’s unphased by what they think because he has the best costumes that represent his tribe.
      He told Boxing Scene: “Since I became champion, you know, nobody has come out with a better dress, better uniform than I have.
      “And we’re going to continue with that. We’ll just have to see what I put on. It’s going to be something special.
      “It’s going to be something that I dedicate to my people, my tribe. So you can look forward to seeing it.”
      WILD VISION
      Deontay Wilder claims he already knows how his fight with Tyson Fury will end on the weekend.
      The Bronze Bomber reckons that he’ll give Fury a good hiding before sending him sprawling to the canvas.
      That’s the vision that Wilder’s seen in his head while preparing for the fight.
      The American told Boxingnews24: “I see me beating him up and knocking him out.”

      COSTUME QUIP
      Tyson Fury has taken a swipe at Deontay Wilder’s explanation for his loss to the Brit in their previous Trilogy clash.
      The Bronze bomber partly blamed the weight of his battery-operated ringwalk attire for his defeat.
      Ahead of their clash on Saturday, Fury Boxing Scene: “Maybe we should have him weigh his costume before he walks to the ring in it so there can’t be any excuses this time.”

      BIG BUCKS BOUT
      Tyson Fury and Deontay are set to bank an eyewatering £18million EACH in the final fight of their trilogy on Saturday.
      Both heavyweights will be battling the WBC Championship belt which Fury currently holds.
      And Wilder will be looking for revenge after losing courtesy of a seventh-round stoppage the last time the two boxers fought.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      PRANK PRESSURE
      Tyson Fury says he intends to pull hotel pranks on Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy bout in Las Vegas.
      The WBC heavyweight champ is defending his title against Wilder for the first time this Saturday.
      Fury told BT Sport: “I’m going to be terrorising him all night.
      “I’ll be phoning his phone up, knocking on his door and running away cause that’s how we roll!”
      OUTBOXED
      Tyson Fury has hit back at cheating claims and has vowed to punch Deontay Wilder’s face in during their fight at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.
      Fury told The MMA Hour: “We’ve boxed 19 rounds and he’s practically won two rounds out of 19.
      “With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff saying I’ve cheated.
      “Whether he believes it or not is another thing, but he has to try and sell the fight somehow.
      “He has to try and make a reason why he could win.
      “So he clearly couldn’t do the reasons why in a boxing fight so he has to make other reasons for his own self, for the people around him who are saying he can do this, he can do that.”

      WILDER WORRY
      David Price and Dillian Whyte fear that Deontay Wilder’s ego could cost him in his fight against Tyson Fury.
      Wilder, 35, was on the wrong end of a technical knockout the last time the fierce rivals went toe-to-toe
      Former heavyweight Price told BBC Radio Five Live: “Instead of admitting to his mistakes and shortcomings and trying to improve on what went wrong, he’s not wrong. It’s a bit narcissistic to think like that.”
      Whyte added: “Wilder, we don’t know if he’s recovered at all because he went on this crazy run of blaming stuff. He was acting crazy.
      “We don’t know where they’re at fully. The smart money would pick Fury to win again, but something inside of me is saying Wilder might spring a surprise on us.”
      DOSSER STOOL TOOL
      Tyson Fury is set to have his ringside stool showing an image of Deontay Wilder getting clobbered with a right hook.
      It is thought the Gypsy King, whose WBC champ belt is up for grabs, will have the stool as his seat in the ring in between rounds.
      The outspoken heavyweight is set to face Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

      DELAY PAYS
      Deontay Wilder admitted to being grateful his Trilogy fight with Tyson Fury was delayed.
      The fight was rescheduled for this Saturday after the Gypsy King tested positive for Covid-19 back in July.
      Wilder told Boxing Scene: “The delay was a blessing, a blessing for me.
      “The more they delayed it, the more time we had to work on our craft and art and to go over even more, strategically, go over the game plan that we’re gonna have come October the 9th.
      “As a fighter, you’re ready to go. You know, you’re ready to get back out there.
      “And this is the longest I’ve been out of the ring, especially when I’m anxious to get in the ring.”
      WILD CLAIM
      Deontay Wilder has dropped a shock retirement hint by insinuating he could quit after his Tyson Fury Trilogy fight.
      The Bronze Bomber is hoping to nab the WBC heavyweight title from the Gypsy King when their pair clash on Saturday night.
      Wilder told Last Stand Podcast: “I can feel it getting close, retirement.
      “I’m seeking one champion, one face, one name.
      “The only way I will be able to retire is if I achieve (that).
      “The faster I can get that, the faster I can retire and get the hell out of here.”
      WILD ATTIRE
      Images of Deontay Wilder’s ringwalk costume are reportedly starting to emerge ahead of the Bronze Bomber’s clash with Tyson Fury.
      Designers Cosmo and Donato are thought to have made the star a ‘significantly lighter’ costume after he blamed battery-powered garments for his loss to Fury in February 2020.

      FRESH AND WILD
      Deontay Wilder claims he is feeling ‘rejuvenated’ ahead of his duel with Tyson Fury.
      The pair are set to go head-to-head in Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena on Saturday with Fury’s WBC heavyweight belt up for grabs.
      Wilder told reporters: “I feel great, I feel amazing.
      “I’m rejuvenated, reinvented and I’m ready to go.
      “Saturday night is going to be a special night. I think the fans are in for a treat, as they always are when the ‘Bronze Bomber’ steps in the ring.”

      FIST OF FURY
      Tyson Fury has threatened to knock Deontay Wilder ‘spark out’ in their highly-anticipated duel in Las Vegas on Saturday.
      The WBC Champion told reporters: “When I was first going to fight (Wilder) I thought he was a decent man, like a family man and doing it for his kids.
      “But now I know he’s a real piece of garbage and a piece of rubbish and I’m going to knock him spark out on Saturday night.”

      The 33-year-old WBC champion met the American for the first time since he battered him on Thursday in Las Vegas and confronted him over his claims.
      And, at the pre-fight press conference when Wilder was given the chance to retract and apologise, he doubled down on the claims, leaving Fury raging.
      The Brit giant fumed: “I don’t care, because it is coming from an unwell person.

      “The truth sets you free so there is no pressure on me, it’s all on him, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. My energy is like my mind, it is very violent.”

      Lennox Lewis has ‘no idea’ what’s going on in Deontay Wilder’s head and he’s ‘in his own bubble’ for Tyson Fury trilogy

      by

      LENNOX LEWIS has no idea what is running through Deontay Wilder’s head after Tyson Fury burst his bubble.The 56-year-old ring legend watched his fellow Brit obliterate the Bronze Bomber in February 2020.

      The American made a long-list of excuses after his loss to Tyson Fury last yearCredit: Alamy
      Wilder blamed the one-sided loss on a heavy ring-walk costume, his trainer Mark Breland for throwing in the towel, the referee for allegedly being crooked and Fury for supposedly loading his gloves with metal objects.
      The American, 35, refuses to accept the first loss of his career — and his reputation will be in tatters unless he produces something spectacular here in Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning.
      And mastermind Lewis, heavyweight boxing’s last undisputed king, has no idea what the dethroned former champ is now thinking.
      He admitted: “I have tried to get in the head of Deontay but he is in his own bubble. It is OK being in your own bubble, sometimes, if it works for you.
      “You can tell yourself you only lost because you got caught with a lucky shot — and that can sometimes work for you.
      “But what changes that is a punch in the face — that wakes you up quickly.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “A punch changes everything. All the things you practised can suddenly stop working and you might even realise that all the things you were practising were wrong, or you were just doing it wrong. When the fight happens, we will know.
      “If he says all these people are cheating and this and that, all right . . . let’s see if all these things happen again.
      “If they don’t happen, let’s see what he says this time if he then loses.
      “He says all these things but no one else is saying them in his team. He’s the only one saying them.
      “He’s in a bubble. How long is he going to stay in that bubble until it bursts? When it bursts is the reality check of, ‘What happened this time?’ ”
      Wilder axed Breland and head trainer Jay Deas and has released training footage of him trying to be a more technical boxer and not a one-trick pony.
      But he did not start boxing until he was 21 and Lewis doubts whether an old dog can be taught new tricks.
      He explained: “People realised Deontay has never really had to back up and he was being made to do it for the first time. And he has to learn that the guy going forward has a better chance to land than the guy going backward.
      “Unless you have really been practising fighting on the back foot, and you are used to it, it is going to be difficult to adapt that quickly.
      “If you have not practised it, then it is difficult because the rule is — if you are going backwards — that you stop, plant your feet and throw your punch.
      The Bronze Bomber and Tyson Fury collide again on SaturdayCredit: AFP
      “But that takes a lot of training and only a few people can do that — and I am in that bracket.
      “But it is very difficult to learn all the things he has tried to learn in this short space of time between the fights. All these things need to have been done early.”
      Lewis was a student of the game who managed to combine violent, concussive punching with technical excellence and brilliant tactics.
      Wilder’s mantra is that his opponents need to be excellent for all 12 rounds, while he needs just a couple of seconds to detonate his life-changing right hand.
      But Lewis warns him that waiting for the one perfect punch could cost him — and it might never even happen.
      London-born Lewis said: “Tyson is a great boxer, he boxes orthodox and southpaw and he loves the sport.
      “The sport is not all about knockouts for him, he loves to box and look good.
      “In Deontay’s mind, he has knocked out lots of people before and — as he always says — he only needs that one second.
      “But that second has to come around, you have to wait for the right time — and sometimes that second never comes.
      “That is why you have to give it to the boxer  who is putting in all the work all the way through the fight.”

      Both men touched down for their ceremonial grand arrivals in Las Vegas ahead of their highly anticipated fight at Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena.
      And while the Gypsy King went for a sleeveless number in the Nevada desert, Wilder opted for the D’Telli-branded top.
      The perfume is the new fragrance from the American’s fiancee Telli Swift.
      The Philippine-born reality TV star describes the product as her tribute to her partner.
      She wrote on her Instagram account: “From a vision in my head that turned into reality, two souls connected and @dtellifragrances was born.
      “This fragrance represents the love between My King @bronzebomber to always be connected in scent even when we’re apart.”

      The fragrance is said to be unisex and designed to be worn either day or night ‘throughout every season’.
      Wilder may need something stronger when the heat rises this weekend as he seeks to avenge the knock-out defeat he suffered last year.
      The 35-year-old claims to have been training for ‘war’ with new coach Malik Scott ahead of his next Fury showdown.
      But legendary cornerman Harold Knight has questioned if the inexperienced Scott is too much of a friend to Wilder to dish out the brutal training he needs to win in Vegas.

      But 33-year-old Fury was forced into a third fight with Deontay Wilder, leaving AJ, 31, to handle a mandatory defence against the Ukraine southpaw.
      And 34-year-old Usyk proved to be the spanner in the works as he outpointed the Brit icon, blowing their fantasy fight to smithereens.
      But Fury has no interest in gloating or sticking the boot in, despite feeling Joshua costing him.
      Fury told iFL TV: “It was a bit of an anti-climax but no part of me was happy that he lost.
      “We were all in the front room saying ‘come on win the fight, land a big right hand’.
      “Why would I be pleased? There just goes £75million down the toilet so I wasn’t pleased that he lost.

      “I was actually wanting him to win and I always want him to win.”
      Fury the businessman is reeling from the biggest fight in British boxing history going up in smoke.
      And the competitor is raging that Andy Ruiz Jr and Usyk have now managed to beat the Watford powerhouse before him.
      He said “It is part of a huge British rivalry and I don’t want anyone else to knock him off apart from me.
      “Maybe they don’t feel the same way and they want me to lose this fight so I am a beaten man like the rest of them.
      “Everyone in this division will be praying I lose so I can be like them, defeated.”

      by

      TYSON FURY defends his WBC heavyweight title for the first time this weekend when he faces Deontay Wilder in their eagerly-awaited trilogy bout.Despite not fighting since dethroning the Bronze Bomber in February 2020, the 33-year-old has insisted he is ’30 or 40 per cent’ better this time around.
      Tyson Fury and his 11-man team pose for a picture in front of the T-Mobile Arena
      Fury has made America his second home with the Gypsy King preparing for his fifth consecutive dust-up in the States.
      And it will be the fourth time in a row that the unbeaten Mancunian will be headlining in Las Vegas.
      Ahead of his third meeting with Wilder, his promotional company Top Rank has released a picture of Fury with his 11-man team.
      Here SunSport takes a look at his team from left to right.
      George Lockhart – Chef
      The cooking mastermind behind Fury’s 10st weight loss and continued commitment to calorie counting.
      The American flies over to Fury’s Morecambe home to take care of all his meals in camp.
      And the kitchen genius even knows how to sneak fruits and vegetables into every meal as the 6ft 9in Fury cannot stand them.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Jorge Capetillo – Cutman
      The boxing mastermind was in Fury’s corner for the night he boxed Otto Wallin and had his eye split open.
      Capetillo worked wonders on the 47-stitch gash and remains a close ally for Fury every time he visits Sin City.
      Kristian Blacklock – Strength and Conditioning
      The strength and conditioning genius is another crucial part of Team Fury who eschews the limelight as much as possible.
      Fury trusts no one but this man to whip him into shape for sensational nights and the fitness whizz has never yet let him down.
      Hughie Fury – Brother
      Tyson’s little brother has lost a huge amount of weight in recent months and now joins his sibling on most of his gruelling runs around Morecambe and Las Vegas.
      Big Shane Fury – Brother
      Because dad Big John Fury is blocked from visiting the US and heading up the camp, Shane is his lieutenant running the show.
      Tyson’s giant little bro is in charge of making sure the champ never catches Covid for a third time and runs his camp day-to-day.

      Tommy Fury – Brother
      The gorgeous Love Island celeb is grafting away at his own fight career and also learning everything he can off his big bro.
      Tyson even joked on Thursday that if he doesn’t beat YouTube boxer Jake Paul, he will make his little bro change his name from the legendary Fury moniker.
      Bob Arum – US-based Promoter
      The legendary American fight maker is the chief of the Top Rank empire.
      And, having worked directly with Muhammad Ali, it is no small thing when he compares Tyson to the Greatest for how they talk and fight.
      Brendan Corey – Personal Bodyguard
      Fury’s personal bodyguard is never far away from the undefeated champ and is clearly a very trusted member of the team.
      The safety specialist has refrained from any interviews so remains a bit of a mystery man.
      Tim Allcock – Friend and Advisor
      The friend and advisor Tyson lovingly refers to as ‘Timmy Boy’ has been a mainstay of his comeback.
      Fury’s team is almost exclusively a family affair but Allcock has such huge respect among the group that he has a seminal role in all things happening around the camp.
      Early on in the relationship Allcock was in charge of all camp meals and revealed to SunSport that peanut butter chicken was Tyson’s favourite.

      ‘Sugar Hill’ Steward – Trainer
      The nephew of legendary Kronk gym trainer Emanuel Steward, Sugar has been the mastermind behind Fury’s shock transformation into a power puncher.
      The Detroit ace enjoys spending time in Fury’s Morecambe home now – but was so disappointed by Anthony Joshua’s performance against Oleksandr Usyk that he popped outside to BBQ some meat for the team.
      Spencer Brown – Commercial Manager
      The head of Goldstar promotions, the memorabilia and events mogul has earned Fury’s total trust in a short space of time.
      The North Londoner is now based in Blackpool and is a close friend as well as a business partner.

      Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch date already pencilled in for next year after Brit’s devastating defeat

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’S shot at winning back his belts from Oleksandr Usyk is already being pencilled in for next spring.AJ lost his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles in a shock defeat by Usyk last month.

      The Brit was outclassed by his Ukrainian opponent but immediately signalled his intention of activating a rematch clause in their contract.
      And now promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed fans will only have to wait five or six months before the pair meet in the ring again.
      Hearn told DAZN: “I think March or April is likely.
      “Usyk had a terrible cut, I’m sure they’ll probably get a holiday in as well. So they’re probably not going to do too much until December, and then we’ll start planning.”
      The defeat by Usyk was initially reported to have cost Joshua the chance of a £500million super-fight against rival Tyson Fury.
      The pair had been slated to meet for a blockbuster undisputed bout that was being billed as the biggest fight in British boxing history.

      And while the Gypsy King takes on Deontay Wilder in their trilogy match on Saturday, talk of a Battle of Britain super-fight with Joshua has started to pick up again.
      Hearn was bullish about his charge’s prospects despite the recent setback at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      He added: “I think AJ will definitely fight Fury, Wilder, (Dillian) Whyte and Usyk because he’s consistently fought the top guys and he will continue to do so.
      “But I think in his mind the only thing he’s really thinking about is Usyk.”
