The first time Wilder and Fury locked horns with each other was back in 2018. This tussle intrigued fans and fighters around the world as it went the distance. Many boxing pundits expected ‘The Bronze Bomber’ to finish Fury in the initial rounds of the slugfest. However, to everyone’s surprise, the Brit survived against Wilder.

Moving further, the heavyweight duo met again in February 2020. This time it was all about ‘The Gypsy King’ smothering Wilder. Right from the first gong, Fury went ahead with his assault and gave the Alabama native a beating of his life.
