Saturday, 22 February 2020
WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder is set to put his title on the line when he faces Tyson Fury on Saturday.
The accomplished boxers will also be fighting for the vacant The Ring and Lineal world heavyweight titles.
The previous fight between Wilder and Fury ended in a controversial split decision draw on the 1st of December 2018.
Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) clinched his title after defeating Canadian fighter Bermane Stiverne at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada, USA on the 17th of January 2015.

Meanwhile, Fury is keen to reclaim The Ring and Lineal heavyweights titles having held them in the past.
The British boxer (29-0-1, 20 KOs) is a former WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, The Ring and Lineal world heavyweight champion.
Fury clinched the titles after defeating legendary Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko at the Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany five years ago.
However, the 31-year-old decided to vacate his titles during a pending investigation on an anti-doping case about his cocain use.
Fury made his return to professional boxing in June 2018 and he has since defeated Sefer Seferi, Francesco Pianeta, Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin.
Fury has made it known that he will go out swinging when he takes on Wilder.
“I’ll go for an all-out brawl. I’m not bothered about getting hit and hurt. I’ve been hit and hurt loads of times,'' Fury said on The Guardian.
''I’m going out swinging. Deontay Wilder says he’s coming out swinging. So we’ll see who’s full of shit and who’s a man of his word. I’m coming out like a raging bull.”
