The Brit dismantled Wilder with a highly impressive seventh-round stoppage win when the pair last fought in February last year, which followed their controversial draw back in 2018. 

Fury was on the precipice of an historic all-British undisputed showdown against earlier this summer before an American arbitrator ruled the Gypsy King must instead take on Wilder for a third time.

The winner of Fury and Wilder will still likely go on to fight for the undisputed crown, though who that will be against remains to be seen with Joshua insisting he will take the contractually agreed rematch against the Ukrainian, most likely in February or March 2022.

Fury insisted he would run through the ‘one tricky pony’ former WBC champion when the pair last met at their promotional press conference back in June.

‘I’m going to be like a plasterer on the night, plastering walls.

‘I’m going to splatter him in the ring. He’s getting knocked out for sure, 100 per cent. It was an easy fight the second time, and it’ll be an even easier time the third time. I’m knocking him out inside quick time.’

Wilder, on the other hand, wore headphones throughout and refused to answer any questions

Wilder, who wore headphones and refused to answer any questions at the press conference, has been more vocal since. 

He has accused Fury of faking his positive Covid-19 test that pushed the trilogy bout back from July 24 to October 9 and has demanded he’s given the WBC belt if his opponent pulls out again. 

Speaking to 78SportsTV, Wilder said: ‘If he don’t show up he’s going to have to suffer the consequences, the penalties that’ve been set forth. If he don’t fight, then pay me what you’re supposed to pay me. Then you have to give up that belt as well. 

‘So it’s a win-win situation for me, it’s a lose-lose situation for him. That’s the great thing about it cause, the saying has always said that history repeats itself.

‘We know his actions are always the same, he’s done this many of times where he tries to get out of fights. He has had a door to escape from. But at this moment in time he has no more doors, no options.

‘He has to put up or shut up, fight or retire. Either fight and give me my money or give up that belt. It’s a win-win situation for me and with that being said I can sleep at night.’
