The undefeated Gypsy King will be facing WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in one of the biggest boxing re-matches on February 22, 2020. The duo ended up in a draw in their first encounter and we still need to know who is the best-undefeated Heavyweight in boxing at the moment. Deontay Wilder will be facing Luis Ortiz in a rematch in November and if he manages to retain the title we can expect a Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder fight next year. However, for now, The Gyspy King needs to concentrate on Braun Strowman at the moment and fight him at WWE Crown Jewel.
