One of the most heated rivalries in the heavyweight division will be going down in their second clash this February 22, 2020.
Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, who fought with a split-decision draw outcome in their last fight, are both ecstatic in their upcoming rematch.
Tagged as one of the most controversial fights in boxing history where Fury fell to Wilder twice but still managed to get the draw, both are happy with the rematch pushing through to erase the doubts in the boxing world.
Both fighters also came off dominating wins before the rematch’s announcement, where Fury got the better of Otto Wallin and Wilder retaining his WBC belt by busting out Luis Ortiz to the canvass.
For Wilder, the win would inch him closer to his matchup with heavyweight’s rank number one, Anthony Joshua, who’s been spitting that Wilder has been ducking him ever since.
“I proved myself the first time and I’m ready to do it again. It was a very controversial fight. I promise my fans that there won’t be any controversy with this one. I’m going to finish it.” Wilder said.
