\"TysonTyson Fury<\/strong> and Deontay Wilder<\/strong> are set to fight for the third time on July 25 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada after a US Arbitrator ordered the rematch<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The first fight ended in a draw<\/a>, the second fight Fury KO\u2019d Wilder<\/a> and the third fight is expected to settle the long standing feud between the two.<\/p>\n

Fury and Wilder with their teams took part in a press conference in Los Angeles on June 15 to promote their fight. <\/p>\n

However, it was a very strange press conference as the former WBC heavyweight champion decided to stay quiet for most of the presser and preferred to put his headphones on and drown out the chatter.<\/p>\n

Apart from making an opening comment that lasted less than 2 minutes, Wilder choose to let Fury do all the talking. This was very strange for the media involved as they have come to expressed heated exchanges and thrash talking as was the case in the lead up to their first two fights. <\/p>\n

Wilder has made some wild accusations against Fury<\/a> and his camp as well as his former coach. The media were keen to get Wilder to shed more light on those accusations but Wilder decided to clam up. Wilder was happy to let his new coach Malik Scott<\/strong> do the talking on his behalf and duel verbally with the gypsy king.<\/p>\n
