    Fury v Wilder III

    Tyson Fury glances at Deontay Wilder as he steps into the ring, Wilder choosing not to look at the British boxer just yet.

    The crowd roars, the atmosphere is electric. We had a delay but it has certainly been worth the wait.

    Fury v Wilder III

    Tyson Fury's ringwalk is considerably more dramatic.

    Bare-chested dancers and drummers lead out Tyson Fury, who is dressed as some sort of Spartan or Roman centurion with what looks like the cast of 300 flanking him with shields and spears.

    What an entrance!

    Out comes Deontay Wilder. He's wearing an elaborate mask but not on the same level as the golden effort from last time.

    No time wasted, though, straight into the ring.

    Those who have chosen to stay up for this fight rather than get up early will be hating this delay.

    We're still waiting as Tyson Fury continues to pass the time with some more shadow boxing. He looks calm and not frustrated, though, making sure Deontay Wilder's mind games are not getting to him.

  8. 'Tyson Fury is a very good all-rounder"published at 04:37 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Richie Woodhall on BT Sport: To try and out jab Tyson Fury is very difficult and Fury is a master of boxing to the opposite of what everyone expects. He is a very good all-rounder."

    Fury v Wilder III

    Last-minute mind games from Deontay Wilder? Tyson Fury is shadow boxing, doing a bit of air guitar as he waits to get out there.

    Wilder has apparently been asked what's going on and has said "I'll walk when I'm ready".

    David Haye on BT Sport: "Deontay Wilder is going to turn up tonight better than he did in the last fight. He couldn't throw that right hand because the shoulder was damaged but he will have it tonight for sure."

    We've just had a montage of fights gone by and now there's a bit of a lull as we wait for the two fighters.

    Deontay Wilder appears to be getting some last-minute words of advice while Tyson Fury is pacing around, desperate to get out there.

    Standing at 6'9 and boasts an 85-inch reach, Tyson Fury has the height and reach advantage over Wilder, who is two inches shorter on both counts.

    That counted for a lot in their last meeting as the undefeated Fury handed Wilder his first career defeat, will it again tonight?
