They saved the best till last in their trilogy classic in 2021, which included FIVE total knockdowns.
Fury, who was floored twice himself in round four, dropped Wilder three times on the way to a knockout in the 11th.
But an “amazing” fourth fight could be on the way with Wilder, 37, ordered to face Andy Ruiz Jr, 33, in a WBC final eliminator.
Although Fury will only share the ring with his American rival if he travels to the UK.
He told BT Sport: “That’d be amazing here.
“I’ve been over there three times, if he wants the fourth fight, he’s gotta come to England. Do that at Wembley, break all records again.”
Fury defends his belt on December 3 against Derek Chisora – the man he has twice beaten in one-sided fashion.
Their unexpected trilogy came after proposed super-fights with Oleksandr Usyk, 35, and Anthony Joshua, 33, broke down.
And Fury – who only announced his boxing retirement in April – admitted he is lacking motivation ahead of his return.
He told Carl Frampton: I’m boxing today for no reasons, for no gain, for no goals.
“So it’s like I’m treading water and until I meet someone who’s very hungry, who’s not treading water and doing it because they need to put food in their kids’ stomach and pay their bills, then that day is going to be a say day for me, isn’t it.
“So, my heart is not in boxing, but I have nothing else. Without boxing I am nothing.
“Even though I’m a multi-millionaire and a family man, great, that’s all aside.
“But my passion and my love affair has been with boxing from a child and I can’t let it go.
“I am here today to say I am a very, very, very selfish person, because I should have walked away in April when I said I was going to walk away.
“And I’m back for more punishment, an idiot really, but what can we do?”

There are also many combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. One combination can have many parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques

Legs

To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- A low stance

Combinations
