Deontay Wilder opens the door to fourth fight with Tyson Fury despite previous defeats

Deontay Wilder is keeping the door open to a fourth fight against Tyson Fury, despite being brutally finished in their last two heavyweight title showdowns.

Wilder dominated atop the heavyweight division for six years before Fury relieved him of his WBC title in February 2020, with the Brit also stopping him in their trilogy the following year. However, it seems that the former champion has never fully come to terms with those two losses, and has previously accused Fury of cheating in their second bout.

The pair fought to a draw the first time they met in 2018, before the two Fury victories. And Wilder has been told that if he can beat Robert Helenius next month in New York and then get past Andy Ruiz Jr in his next outing that the WBC will make him the top contender for the belt once again.
