Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 was a professional boxing trilogy fight between WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, and former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder. The bout took place at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada on October 9, 2021. The fight, which Fury won via eleventh-round knockout, was widely regarded as the best match of the year and one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all time.

Fury and Wilder first fought in December 2018, with the bout ending in a controversial draw. The pair had a rematch in February 2020, with Fury emerging victorious via seventh-round technical knockout to capture the WBC and vacant Ring magazine heavyweight titles.

After the second fight, Fury entered negotiations for a unification bout with reigning WBA , IBF and WBO champion, Anthony Joshua. Following months of negotiations between the promoters of Fury and Joshua, an official announcement was said to be imminent. But, Wilder initiated a contractual rematch clause with the arbitration judge ruling in Wilder's favor, ordering Fury to face Wilder for the third time.

The WBC ruled that if the winner of the fight doesn't unify with Oleksandr Usyk next, that the victor will be ordered to defend the title against Dillian Whyte, the long-standing WBC No. 1 contender.
