BREAKING: Tyson Fury Signs His Contract to Face Deontay Wilder for the Trilogy

Tyson Fury has been the main attraction of the sport over the last week. He first announced the undisputed title bout against Anthony Joshua. However, a day later, Deontay Wilder won his arbitration case, and Fury had to face ‘The Bronze Bomber.’

Fans now have a big update about the trilogy between the current WBC champion and the former champion. Reports suggest the pair could meet as early as July 24, and some even claim Wilder has already signed his contract. And now, Fury has made an announcement of his own.

The 30-0-1 boxer hilariously crashed the telecast of the Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor bout and revealed, “I just signed the Deontay Wilder contract. B***h, you’re getting knocked out. Knocked out!” Thus, he confirmed he has agreed to face ‘The Bronze Bomber’ next.

However, this is all Fury said and left. Therefore, he revealed no more information regarding the bout. Regardless of this, the news will excite fans who will be happy to see the champion back in action sooner than expected.
