WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury split the entire boxing universe into two halves when they squared off against each other on December 11, 2018 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. The undefeated boxers put up a great fight but the night ended in a controversial draw. While Tyson Fury outboxed Deontay Wilder in almost every round, the undefeated American replied back by landing a vicious right hand over Tyson Fury in the final minutes of the fight. It made The Gypsy King go down. However, Tyson Fury got back to his feet and regained his momentum. The duo are ready to run it back one more time on February 22, 2020 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. While the heavyweight clash is just knocking at the doors, another world champion has predicted the results.
