Wilder: I Defended The Title 10 Times, Not Fury

JAKARTA - Deontay Wilder believes he can win back the heavyweight belt that Tyson Fury won from him in the second bout of their epic trilogy last year. The third duel of these two sworn enemies will be held on Saturday night, October 9 at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

Wilder was one of the best fighters of his generation with the only defeat of his career coming to Fury.

Therefore, he felt confident that he could beat his rival this time.

"You know nothing about knocking anyone out and have no knockout power," said Wilder.

"I'm the one who defended the title 10 times.

"This fight is redemption, vengeance, vengeance."

The two boxers have met twice. First, in 2018 when the results ended in a draw. Then, in 2020 when Wilder was forced to lose by TKO in round 7.

Despite the defeat, Wilder remained dangerous ahead of their third bout and he was more than capable of knocking out his opponent.

In addition, Fury has bad memories of the T-Mobile Arena Las Vegas where Fury's only visit there was a loss to Otto Wallin.
