TYSON FURY & Deontay wilder are ready for war with their eagerly awaited rematch in Las Vegas.
The showdown between the Gypsy King and the Bronze Bomber was originally scheduled for July 24, but was postponed after Fury and other camp members tested positive for Covid-19.
In early 2020, Deontay Wilder was stopped by Tyson Fury
Fury defeated Wilder in seven rounds, to win the WBC heavyweight title and the first defeat in American history.
Since then, neither man has fought and both men have been involved in training camps for longer periods of time.
The winner will likely fight Oleksandr Uzyk, who defeated Anthony Joshua unanimously in their heavyweight match to win the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.
After AJ's defeat it seems unlikely that Joshua and Fury will meet again, but Eddie Hearn has promised the pair a rematch.

What did they say?
Fury recently spoke out about how Kenny Bayless, the referee, saved Deontay Wester's life during their second clash despite claims by the Bronze Bomber that the fight was prematurely stopped.
Fury stated that "The last stoppage one was where he was being caught clean. I believe the referee actually saved him life that night and saved a career,"
It was like I told you so, and now I'm back where I belong. It was not a big miracle shock. It was just like I was back at the top of my game, rated number 1 and beating guys that I wasn't supposed beat.
"Physically, and emotionally, I have been able to push myself and have come back from places that I didn't know I could. It was hard but I have loved every moment of it."
Wilder, however, is more certain than ever that he will raise his hand in their huge trilogy.
"I just want his ans. It's that simple. He said, "I just want to beat him ass."
"I want it back in my blood. It's up to you. I will exact my revenge on October 9. "An eye for an eye, that is what I look forward to.

Who is Tyson Fury training?
SugarHill Steward will once again train Tyson Fury, who was in his corner during the Wilder fight.
Ben Davison was the trainer of Fury, and he was responsible for the first Wilder bout. However, Steward replaced him a year later.
Steward immediately implemented his "Kronk" style of training. This is where boxers who fight at the Kronk Gym, Detroit, Michigan, try to exert pressure on their opponents in order to force a knockout.
SugarHill's uncle Emanuel Steward introduced the style of fighting to SugarHill.
Fury believed that SugarHill would be Wilder's opponent and bring them to a second fight. This prediction was not widely believed.
Wilder was stopped by the Gypsy King in seven rounds. Fury now has 18 months of Kronk training, and will be looking for the exact same result on October 9th.
Who is Deontay Wilder's trainer?
Wilder has hired Malik Scott as his new head trainer. Scott was the Bronze Bomber's fighter and knocked out in 2014.
Scott and Wilder worked together all summer to improve each other's boxing skills and speed up their hands in preparation for Fury.
Wilder will continue to have Jay Deas, his ex-head trainer, in his corner. But Scott will be taking charge on fight night.
He used to be accompanied by Mark Breland, a former world champion. But Wilder accused Wilder of infusing his water before the Fury fight.
Breland was also the one who lost the fight, forcing the referee at half-way through the seventh round to end the fight.
