Finkel: Fury-Wilder III Announcement Coming in Next Two Weeks

[paulf]

WBN spoke exclusively to Deontay Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel on Monday evening to get assurances regarding a future encounter with Tyson Fury. Speculation, as always, has been rife in the United Kingdom surrounding whether Wilder will negate on a trilogy following defeat last February. The reverse, a first in 44 bouts for the American, will be the catalyst for Wilder’s return to action. Finkel assured WBN that Wilder is fine. He’s healthy and ready to fight as a calendar mark of December 19 remains possible. Asked about rumors Wilder was hurt in sparring before his rematch stoppage to Fury, Finkel was clearly fed up with the British media’s attempts to smear the ex-WBC champ.

“Deontay ****** his arm in training, it was nothing,” Finkel exclusively told World Boxing News. “Who is this guy (Junior) Fa? “When the time is right we will give more information on the third fight.”

He continued by stating WBN would be the first to know when an official announcement comes.

“We will be making an announcement in the next two weeks. When we are ready we will let you know. But Deontay is focused on the third fight. Most of what is being written now is not worth a response. Deontay wants revenge in the rematch,” he added.

WBN understands a rumored date before the end of the year can still happen despite the current saga regarding the pandemic.

Sounds like they're planning on taking the third fight... kinda?

Team Fury would move on without them ,they have no choice to either take the fight and stop hiding or decline the rematch .

Finkel doesn’t know who his main sparring partner was ? This team is a hot mess ,and it was Wilders you tube channels that reported it because he said something about an arm injury ,no one would even know about it . These guys continue to expose themselves amongst each other .

I think they should give it one more bite at the apple. If the pandemic isn't over by December then just wait to fight in February with or without an audience.

You cannot hold up this fight forever. It needs to happen before things start to get back to normal. With or without an empty stadium.

Chris Mannix said the hold up is that financially the fight is not possible without a gate; Haymon and Arum lost a ton of money on the second fight even with the gate. Without it, Wilder and Fury would have to fight each other for peanuts and neither side is interested in doing that.

Fury is going to ruin Wilder mentally and physically after he gets another stoppage win. Wont be surprised if Wilder retires.

Would Wilder have given fury a third fight if he was the one that TKO’d him the second fight? For some reason I highly doubt it.

Fury should move on and go after AJ, he already beat Deyoncè twice.

Furys not giving him a third fight, Wilder is activating his rematch clause that was in the contract .

Fury would rather fight AJ but Wilders ego will be his own downfall. The smartest thing to do was fight the AJ and Fury winner for all the belts but Wilder isn’t the brightest guy .


Wilder wouldn’t even give him one fight if he knew it was leading to this , he out played himself and Fury out played him feeding him false info that he wasn’t ready and team Wilder took the bait .
