The Boxing Truth®

  As there always seems to be in the build up to many of the biggest fights/events in the sport of Boxing, the prelude to the third encounter between undefeated two-time Heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and former WBC Heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder was certainly not void of hype, trash talking between the two fighters, and of course the numerous “What If” scenarios and debates amongst both experts and fans as to how the third fight between the two would play out.  Such scenarios and “What If’s are often covered in various pre-fight writings penned by those of us who cover the sport including yours truly. No matter how much one analyzes what may occur when two fighters enter the ring to do battle, sometimes even the most experienced writers/journalists/historians/commentators can be surprised by what takes place. Although some would say that oftentimes such hype prior to a major fight can exceed what actually occurs on fight night and that indeed can be the case...

  Most associate trilogies as the third  chapter serving as the finale . In Boxing however, most trilogies  arrive at chapter 3 with a simple process. This process usually consists of two fighters splitting two heated  fights, which leads to the culmination of the rivalry  between the two in what is thought to be the final battle, the third fight.     The rivalry between  undefeated two-time Heavyweight world champion Tyson  Fury and former WBC Heavyweight world champion  Deontay  Wilder  has not been one that  most would call a “Normal” trilogy.
