Everyone is now counting down the hours to when two of the best heavyweight boxers in the world will enter the ring this afternoon.
Two of the best heavyweight boxers in the world will enter the ring this afternoon.
Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will contest a rematch of an incredible bout that ended in a split draw back in December 2018.
On the line will be the WBC Heavyweight title.
The pair will headline a pay-per-view card from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada.
The winner will be considered the top heavyweight in the world, and will likely go on to attempt to unify all the heavyweight titles with a bout against Anthony Joshua.
Fury and Wilder are both undefeated in their careers.
Wilder is 42-0-1 with a knockout in all but one of those wins.
Fury is 29-0-1 with 20 knockouts.
If Fury wins it, all four heavyweight belts will be shared between two British fighters - him and Anthony Joshua, who holds the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.
Fury weighs 123.8 kilograms while Wilder weighs 104.7 kilograms.
Fury was dropped twice in the first bout, but controlled much of the action. The rematch will be fascinating.
Many believe Wilder will try to land the knockout shot earlier than usual, since he knows he can put Fury on the ground, but whether or not he’ll be successful depends on how much Fury picked up from the first fight, and whether he can continually out-box someone of Wilder’s caliber over 12 rounds.
At their latest press conference things got really personal.
Both fighters are aiming for a knockout.
The WBC Heavyweight title rematch between Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gyspy King” Fury is this afternoon and the fight program including the wild card bouts will start at 2pm.
