Wilder -Fury agree to fight in Vegas 7/24/2021 (Rescheduled for 10/9)

After an arbitration ruling that halted the negotiations between Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) and Anthony Joshua, Fury and Deontay Wilder have verbally agreed to terms on a third fight, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

The fight is tentatively scheduled for July 24, with a site in Las Vegas to be determined, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. An alternate date targeted for this fight is August 14, ESPN's Mark Kriegel reported earlier on Thursday.

Good. Maybe this will entice some of the crowd to reschedule from 4th of July to catch this fight. And make the 4th a bit more sane hopefully.

 

Prices going up for both weekends.

 

Figured I might as well stay on after UFC 264 if this is happening, so changed the dates for my cancelled June flight today.

I had Bellagio booked for ~$1k 18-26th, but have changed to Park and it only costs $250.

Should more than cover my ticket if it goes ahead

 

I’m booked, Fury is going to sleep this fight, trust me on this one. Soft jaw.

 

Anyone with a lead on the presale codes? Asking for a friend.

 

Here is some ticket info - should be a great fight and Vegas visit!
Per Fight News: Undefeated WBC world champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury puts his title on the line against former longtime heavyweight champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder Saturday, July 24 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale TODAY, June 15 at 12 p.m. PT and can be purchased at www.t-mobilearena.com or www.axs.com.

Edit: The seat I had for Wilder - Ortiz II (Sec 8 Row M) went for $712 (all in); this same seat for Wilder - Fury III is over $1400 (with out taxes and fees). I know Wilder-Fury III is a bigger fight but the seat prices are out of sight.

 

I had a look at tickets in the presale yesterday, and the nosiest of nosebleeds was $500+ fees.

I usually do block 7-17 for the UFC, and the ones I saw there were going for $2k + fees.

Hopefully no one had plans, flights and tickets.

Not 100% official but looks like October 9th is new date.

 

If it ends up being 10/9, that sets up a huge weekend in the city, because the Raiders are at home on 10/10. Rates are going to go up even higher than their current sky high prices…..

 

And where did this outbreak occur? His gym in Vegas.

 

Prices are gonna be through the roof that weekend. Good luck if you haven't booked yet.

 

No idea, but I believe I read a while back that he is training in Miami for this fight

 

Just announced October 9 at TMobile

Ah well, I'm flying home on the 8th, and will keep my money for an NFL ticket.

 

Fury is a train wreck. He was seen and posed for pics with some folks in Cosmo and shopping for cars yesterday. I hope Wilder knocks his block off.
