LOS ANGELES-Those heavyweights are back.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder met in LA Live once again to discuss their third meeting for the WBC heavyweight world title on Tuesday.

Will this be the final time?

WBC heavyweight titlist Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) expects more of the same when he meets Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas next month on July 24. It will be shown live on pay-per-view.

England’s Fury, 32, promises more of the same beating as their last encounter which saw Wilder lose by technical knockout in the fifth round. Their first match in December 2018 ended in a draw.

“The beating from the last fight has had a physical, mental and emotional effect on his life. I was worried about him after the way I beat him,” said Fury with Wilder sitting nearby in the NOVO Theater. “He said all this stuff about bloodshed last time and we all know what happened last time. I’m going to keep it short and sweet.”

America’s Wilder, 35, was not nearly as effusive and loud as in the previous press conference for their earlier fights.

“Enough has been said,” Wilder uttered. “It’s time to cut off his head.”

Before their first meeting, Fury had fought twice in 2018 after an impromptu three-year absence from the fight game after defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 for all the belts except the WBC version.

Few knew what to expect.

When Fury and Wilder met in Los Angeles in 2018 the two heavyweights charged the Staples Center with heavyweight action at its finest. Despite numerous knockdowns of Fury by Wilder, the fight ended in a split draw.

Last year, in Las Vegas, Fury finished off Wilder with a bludgeoning attack that forced the American’s cornerman Mark Breland to toss in the white towel for a technical stoppage. Wilder was saved from a more savage beating.

Wilder feels he had enough to overcome the beating.

“A lot of things are going to be different in this fight,” Wilder promises.

Fury expects a quicker finish.

“I’m going to run him over like I’m an 18-wheeler,” Fury said.
