      The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
      In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
      Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.
      And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.
      Here is how the F1 calendar unfolds in 2021 with our race by race schedule.

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel and undercard for heavyweight trilogy

      by

      TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder are ready to go to war for a THIRD time with their long-awaited rematch in Las Vegas.The Gypsy King’s showdown with the Bronze Bomber, which was supposed to take place on July 24, was postponed because Fury, as well as other camp members, tested positive for Covid-19.

      JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET A FREE £10 BONUS WITH 100s OF GAMES TO PLAY AND NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED (Ts&Cs apply)
      Fury demolished Wilder inside seven rounds to inflict the first defeat of the American’s career back in February 2020 and win the WBC heavyweight title.
      Neither man has fought since then, and both have been busy in longer training camps.
      The winner is likely to fight Oleksandr Usyk, who beat Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision in their heavyweight clash to secure the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
      Any match-up between Joshua and Fury now seems remote after AJ’s defeat, but Eddie Hearn promises the pair will go for a rematch.
      When is Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3?

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 was originally slated to take place on July 24, but will now take place on October 9.
      Expect the main event of Fury vs Wilder 3 at around 4am BST.
      The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas plays host and Nevada is eight hours behind the UK, so the fight will begin about 8pm local time.

      What TV channel and live stream is Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 on?

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 is being broadcast live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      The fight will cost £24.95 on BT.
      In the US the event is expected to be live on ESPN+ and Fox PPV.

      How the fighters compare

      Who is on the undercard?
      The event, cross-promoted by Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions, will see a host of heavy-hitters featuring on the undercard.
      That includes the battle of unbeaten heavyweights in Cuba’s Frank Sanchez meeting Nigeria’s Efe Ajagba.
      Sanchez, a training partner of Canelo Alvarez who is promoted by Top Rank, will put his 18-0 record against PBC’s Ajagba, who stands 15-0.
      Robert Helenius will also rematch Adam Kownacki on the bill.
      Polish prospect Kownacki, 32, was defeated for the first time and stunned by veteran Helenius, 37, in March 2020.
      American star Jared Anderson will return, with an opponent yet to be confirmed.
      Anderson, 21, is 9-0 and was credited as a huge part in Fury’s win against Wilder last year.
      He provided the Gypsy King with expert sparring Stateside, winning the praise of the WBC champion.

      What have they said?
      Fury has recently been talking about how referee Kenny Bayless saved Deontay Wilder’s life in their second clash, despite the Bronze Bomber’s claims the fight was stopped prematurely.
      “The final stoppage one was where I was catching him clean, I believe the referee actually saved his life that night and saved his career,” Fury said.
      “It was just like ‘I told you so’, and I am back where I belong and that’s it. There was no big miracle shock, it was like I was back where I was supposed to be at the top of the game, rated number one and back beating guys I wasn’t supposed to be beating.
      “Physically and emotionally I have managed to push myself and come back from places I didn’t know if I could, but it was a tough ride and I have enjoyed every minute of it.”
      Wilder, on the other hand, is more confident than ever he will have his hand raised in their massive trilogy.
      “I just want to beat his ass. It’s as simple as that. I just want to beat his ass,” he said.
      “I want it back in blood. That’s up to me. Come October 9, I will get my revenge. An eye for an eye, that’s what I’m looking forward to.”
      Where is Fury vs Wilder 3 taking place?
      Fury vs Wilder 3 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, making it the third different venue in pair’s three fights.
      Fury vs Wilder 1 took place at Staples Center in Los Angeles back in December 2018.
      The T-Mobile Arena will play host to Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder III
      And while their second happened in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand Garden Arena was the venue.
      But now the T-Mobile Arena, which has hosted huge fights such as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin and numerous big UFC events, will play host for their third clash.
      Who is training Tyson Fury?
      Tyson Fury will be trained, once again, by SugarHill Steward, who took his corner for the second Wilder fight.
      Fury used to be trained by Ben Davison, who was in charge for the very first Wilder bout, but was replaced by Steward a year later.
      Steward instantly implemented his ‘Kronk style’ of training, one in which where boxers who fight out of the Kronk Gym in Detroit, Michigan, seek to put pressure on their opponents to force a knockout.
      SugarHill Steward trainer Tyson Fury for the second Deontay Wilder fight
      The style of fighting was first introduced by legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, SugarHill’s late uncle.
      Fury predicted that with SugarHill in his corner, he would bring the fight to Wilder and take him out during their second fight, a prediction not many believed in.
      But the Gypsy King did just that, stopping Wilder in seven rounds. And now, with 18 months more Kronk training under his belt, Fury will be looking for the same result on October 9.
      Who is training Deontay Wilder?
      Wilder has brought in a new head trainer in Malik Scott, who the Bronze Bomber fought and knocked out back in 2014.
      Scott and Wilder have worked all summer in attempt to sharpen the latter’s boxing skills, quickening both his feet and hands in preparation for Fury.
      Wilder will still have ex-head trainer Jay Deas in his corner, but Scott will take charge on fight night.

      The Alabama native used to have former world champion Mark Breland in his corner, but he was sacked after Wilder accused him of spiking his water before the second Fury fight.
      It was also Breland who threw the towel in, forcing the referee to stop the fight midway through the seventh round. More

      What is the team news?
      United have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions and go into the game against the LaLiga giants – who beat them to lift last season’s Europa League crown – with a decimated defence.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw star men Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw limp off during the dramatic defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday with the club confirming the pair did NOT train on Tuesday.
      And with Aaron Wan-Bissaka out following his red card against Young Boys, the United boss has very few options in defence.
      David de Gea is expected to keep Dean Henderson out of the team, while Diogo Dalot will likely replace Wan-Bissaka on the right.

      Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for O2 heavyweight fight

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE returns to the ring on Halloween weekend in a corker of a clash with former Tyson Fury foe Otto Wallin. Whyte bounced back from his KO loss to Alexander Povetkin last year by beating the Russian an emphatic fashion earlier this year in Gibraltar.

      Wallin won a decision over ex-Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder opponent Dominic Breazeale back in February.
      But the Swede is best known for giving Fury one of the toughest fights of his career and opening up a huge cut over his right eye two years ago.
      Whyte has angled for a fight with Fury himself for some time, with the winner of this fight likely to be called as the mandatory for the winer of Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3.
      When is Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin?

      Dillian Whyte’s heavyweight clash with Otto Wallin is set to go ahead on October 30.
      The fight will take place at London’s O2 Arena, where Whyte is a hugely popular figure.
      There will be close to 20,000 fans in attendance at the fight.
      The main event is expected to get going at around 10.30pm UK time.

      What channel is it on and can it be live streamed?

      Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin will be shown live on DAZN in the UK.
      To subscribe to DAZN, you have to create an account which will set you back £7.99 a month.
      The fight will be Whyte’s first on DAZN in the UK since Matchroom switched broadcasters from Sky to the streaming service.

      You can expect Whyte to make his ring-walk at around 10.15pm.

      What has been said?
      “He’s kind of a brawler but he can box a little bit too,” revealed Wallin has said.
      “He’s got a good left hook and he’s a good body puncher so those are things I’ve got to be aware of.
      “I think that in the long run it takes a toll to have hard fights like that. He’s been knocked out twice and he’s taken a lot of punishment and he’s been hurt in different fights.”
      Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn said: “As long as Dillian beats Otto Wallin, then Whyte is mandatory for the winner of that fight immediately.
      “There is no reason not to do it. Dillian, who 100 per cent would have wanted AJ to win, because he’s not like that.
      “He now sits there as probably a cast-iron mandatory challenger to the winner of Wilder-Fury.”
      Who is Otto Wallin?
      Wallin burst onto the scene when he fought Tyson Fury in September 2019.
      The Swede was supposed to be an easy touch for Fury, who was preparing for his rematch with Deontay Wilder.
      But their fight turned into a nightmare for Fury, who was cut open by one of Wallin’s left hooks in the fourth round.
      The cut required extensive attention throughout the fight and 47 stitches after the bout was finished.

      It also became a possibility that the fight could’ve been stopped due to the cut’s severity, making it a TKO victory for Wallin.
      But Fury hung on and secured a tight win on the judges’ scorecards.
      Since then, Wallin has bounced back with two wins, one of which came against Breazeale in February of this year. More
