In December 2018, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury met at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, for the title of the World Heavyweight Boxing Council. In that confrontation, Wilder sent Fury to the canvas twice, but the Briton was the one who hit the most hits.
At the end of the twelfth assault, the judges made a decision that surprised the two protagonists in “the best heavyweight fight in years,” according to experts, as a technical tie was decided that immediately unleashed the rumors of a rematch.
This Saturday, after more than a year of speculation, the two boxers meet again in the ring, this time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, to define once and for all the champion of the unified title of heavy weights.
After facing a little over a year ago, Wilder took the ring on two other occasions and maintained his undefeated victory over Dominic Breazeale and Mexican Luis Ortiz via the chloroform, bringing his historical record to 42 wins and a draw, in addition of a surprising 95% of knockouts in the fighting he has played.
Fury, meanwhile, also added two victories over Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin, but the first was by technical knockout and the second by unanimous decision, which implies that in his last three fights he has not been able to win by knockout, which leads its historical record at 66.7%.
The bets do not show a clear favorite, because both the American and the English pay a +110 mummy for taking the heavyweight title home, so other options must be explored to make an interesting investment in this Saturday fight for the night.
