Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury II: Fight preview and all you need to know

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will face each other again almost 15 months on from a controversial draw that left punters desperate for a re-run of their thrilling affair in Los Angeles.

 

Tickets in Las Vegas are exchanging hands for thousands of dollars, the fighters are volleying spiteful words at one another with gusto and pundits who have frequented Sin City more times than they care to remember have labelled the occasion a “monster”.

 

Somewhere amid the chaos is the prize of Wilder’s WBC world title. 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.

 

Wilder starts as favourite (just) before the fighters walk to the ring at around 05:00 GMT on Sunday morning.

 

At Friday’s weigh-in, where a face-off was banned and where the pair shouted abuse at one another from behind cordons, the American weighed in at 231lb, the heaviest of his career. Fury, at 273lb, has not been as heavy since his comeback fight in 2018.

 

Former world champion Kell Brook reacted to the weigh-in telling BBC Sport: “It looks to me from that they are going to stand in the middle of the ring and have a right scrap.”
