How did Deontay Wilder get a rematch against Tyson Fury?

Following his dominant win in the rematch, Tyson Fury was keen to take on British boxer Anthony Joshua up next. Joshua and his team were eager to book the bout, but a pre-signed fight contract between Wilder and Fury caused a dramatic turn of events. The contract features a clause allowing the loser to demand a third bout between the pair by agreeing to receive the short end of a 60-40 purse split.

Wilder activated the clause for a third fight, but Fury refused to comply, saying that a lot of time had passed since the second fight. The champion, therefore, moved on to another opponent. Wilder, however, wasn't willing to budge and took Fury to court, where the arbitrator ruled in favor of Deontay Wilder.

Deontay Wilder will get what he wants, a chance to avenge his devastating loss against Tyson Fury last time around.
