Shelly Finkel, the manager of Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), strongly denies media speculation that his boxer would relinquish his right for the third fight against Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).
Wilder lost a rematch to Fury by TKO in February, losing his WBC heavyweight title. Since this defeat, the first in his professional career, the previously very talkative Bronze Bomber has only given two interviews. Wilder has also almost completely disappeared from social media, leading some fans to believe that the American - for enough money - will give up his guaranteed third standoff with his abuser.
However, Wilder's manager Shelly Finkel voiced his clear position regarding the future of the American: “If I did not consider you friends, I would not even answer. I've said this before: Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will fight, period!"
It is not yet known when and where Fury vs Wilder boxing trilogy will be completed. Initially, in this context, there was talk of late November and early December and stadiums in Las Vegas and Arlington, Texas.
