Deontay Wilder still wants fourth Tyson Fury fight despite two KO defeats

Deontay Wilder is keen to make the push for an unprecedented fourth fight against Tyson Fury despite being viciously stopped twice, according to coach Malik Scott.

The former heavyweight world champion was undefeated and had knocked out every opponent he ever faced before taking on Fury in the first of three iconic bouts in December 2018. The bout ended in a draw, with fans and experts claiming the Brit was robbed despite having been dropped twice by his rival, including a brutal knockdown in round 12.

But when they rematched in 2020, Fury changed up his training team to adopt a Kronk Gym style under SugarHill Steward, and managed to stop Wilder in a dominant seven-round demolition. They rematched for a third time the following year, with Wilder putting the Brit down twice more in a spirited eleven-round defeat that ended in an even more vicious knockout.
