WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has signed his contract to face Deontay Wilder on the 24th of July.

The 32-year-old was set to fight for all four world titles against Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia but the affair fell through when Wilder's team won an arbitration hearing stating the American had a right to a third fight with Fury.

The Gypsy King signed the contract to fight Wilder while attending Josh Taylor's win over Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Fury says Wilder is getting seriously smashed to bits and he will give him another shoulder injury, another bicep injury, and another leg injury.

Fury appeared on social media stating he had agreed to face Joshua in August, however, the Bronze Bomber refused to take any money to step aside and let Fury pursue the Joshua fight.

Joshua is now expected to defend his IBF, WBA and WBO belts against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in August.

Fury beat Wilder to end his reign as WBC champion in Las Vegas in February 2020, 14 months after the pair drew in Los Angeles.

A venue has not yet been formally announced for their third contest but Fury's team said Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas was already reserved for the fight date.

The stadium can hold 65,000 fans and is home to the Las Vegas Raiders NFL franchise.
