Not long now until Deontay Wilder defends his WBC heavyweight title for the second time against Tyson Fury as they both look to finally put to rest their rivalry following a controversial draw 448 days ago.  

Fury has vowed to knockout Wilder in the second round having dumped Ben Davison as his trainer in favour of Javan ‘Sugarhill’ Steward, as the British heavyweight looks for more power whilst keeping his footwork and speed.

The Bronze Bomber will be hunting for an early knockout that keeps the Gyspy King down after dropping Fury to the canvas in the 12th round in their first fight, only to miraculously beat the count following an Undertaker-like resurrection.

Both fighters have come into this Las Vegas fight at MGM Grand heavier, with the Bronze Bomber weighing 16st 7lbs and Gypsy King 19st 7lbs.
