Another spectacle expected as Wilder, Fury clash again wilderFury

THE biggest sporting event this weekend will no doubt be the rematch between arguably the two best heavyweights in the world American Deontay Wilder and Briton Tyson Fury.

Wilder, 34, will hope to break Muhammad Ali’s record of 10 consecutive heavyweight title defenses when he faces the 31-year-old, 6-foot-9-inches and charismatic Fury at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite losing the first fight, Ali came back to win the second and third fights in New York and Manila respectively.Lennox Lewis is giving WBC heavyweight champion Wilder a slight edge against Tyson Fury in the early Sunday morning fight.

Former unified heavyweight world champion Lewis was impressed with the way Wilder knocked out his last two opponents Luis Ortiz and Dominic Breazeale with his dangerous right hands. “Tyson Fury was able to practice his jab and practice his boxing in his first fight with Tom Schwarz. In his second fight against Wallin, he wasn’t boxing, and he looked very ordinary.

Top Rank Boxing chief executive Bob Arum believes the fight will generate more than $200m when including pay-per-view purchases in both the US and United Kingdom, ticket sales for the Las Vegas-based bout, merchandise, sponsorship, and other revenue sources.
