What time is Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder tonight PPV schedule main card start time for 2021 fight

Tyson Fury is considered by many to be the top heavyweight in the world. He is certain his next opponent, Deontay Wilder, is right below him. 

“He’s the most dangerous heavyweight out there, barring none, and it’s the only man that I really care about beating,” Fury said. 

Fury and Wilder will conclude their saga of fights in their third meeting on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout will be broadcasted via a joint pay-per-view presentation from FOX and ESPN.

Fury, who won the WBC and The Ring magazine titles with his seventh-round technical knockout victory over Wilder in February 2020, is making his first defense of his belts. A judge in a United States court ruled Wilder was entitled to exercise his option for a third fight in September 2020, negating a potential unification bout with former WBA (super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua. 

Wilder, who held the WBC title since January 2015, is coming off the first loss of his career. He previously drew against Fury in December 2018, scoring a pair of knockdowns while Fury appeared to win most of the rounds in the bout. 

The winner of Saturday’s bout could face the current major titlist, Oleksandr Usyk, or Joshua in a potential unification fight in late 2022 or early 2023. The heavyweight division has not had an undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis, who defeated Evander Holyfield in November 1999 to unify the WBC, WBA and IBF titles.
