Showtime pay-per-view provides the fight coverage of this incredibly intriguing matchup.
Wilder has knocked out every opponent he has fought. His right hand might be the most destructive in all of boxing since Mike Tyson entered the sport in 1985. Fury’s no slouch either. Like Wilder, Fury has never tasted defeat. He beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, but he lost the titles as he descended into a deep depression compounded by alcohol and drug abuse.
It’s been a long road for Fury, but he has worked himself into fighting shape and he’s contending for a world title once more. He’s a slick boxer who aims to confuse Wilder in the ring.
