Deontay Wilder is in a new territory before his third fight with Tyson Fury and the first time returning as a professional on the back of a loss.

Wilder has not lost a fight in 43 bouts before losing his WBC heavyweight title to Fury in February 2020.

The American has changed his team and trainer Mark Breland, who angered Wilder by throwing in the towel to end that fight.

Replacing him is Malik Scott, a fighter Wilder knocked out in 2014.

Wilder says he trusts his brother with his life and that has always been from the first connection.

He says even when they fought, it would bring them even closer than ever because, in this sport, boxers will need people that they can trust.

Wilder shared a controversial draw with Fury in their first fight in 2018, with many believing the British star had done enough to warrant the decision.

The much anticipated third fight will be on Sunday and the fight program will begin at around midday.
