Tyson Fury puts his WBC heavyweight belt on the line in Las Vegas on Saturday when he meets Deontay Wilder 20 months after knocking out the American in their second fight.
Fury and Wilder - who clashed at a press conference ahead of their first fight in Los Angeles in 2018 - were hustled off the stage shortly afterwards.
Wilder has accused Fury of tampering with his gloves for the second fight - where Fury dominated to score a seventh-round knockout - to inflict more damage. "He accused me of everything, accused his team, his trainer, the suit, injuries. Who else did he accuse -- oh yeah, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, they were in on it as well. And the referee," said Fury .
Asked for his final comments, Wilder, replied:"I just tell you guys to prepare yourselves for the battlefield and get ready for war."
