Wilder v Fury Preview: Heavyweights collide on biggest stage

Wilder’s record speaks for itself at 40-0. This will be the eighth-time he defends his WBC title.

He’s had an emphatic career to date defeating Bermane Stiverne twice.

And he perhaps silenced critics that suggested he’s just a puncher by going ten rounds in the win over Luis Ortiz in March.

The American could look to end this early. He’s only been taken past round five, four times in his entire career.

Tyson Fury

Fury said this is ‘just another fight’ but a win this weekend could be the spark for an era of domination for the Gypsy King.

The 30-year-old is well-respected in the sport for being one of the most gifted fighters around – especially after his win over Wladimir Klitschko.

Former heavyweight champs Evander Holyfield and Lewis are in agreement that Fury should win if the fight goes the distance.

Mike Tyson has praised Fury’s resolve and said: “Although Wilder’s punch is strong, nothing can compare to the mental strength Fury has shown both in and out of the ring.”
