Wilder vs Fury 2 (Main Event)

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 2 goes down this Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. After their first match in December 2018 ended in a controversial draw, the rematch was inevitable. Many believed that Fury (29-0-1) was the winner of their first match as he was the better boxer among the two. However, Wilder (42-0-1) made an equally strong case with two knockdowns in the ninth and twelfth rounds.

Fury got knocked down flat on his back in the twelfth round but somehow resurrected from the dead and continued to box. Both men walked out of the building with their hands raised.
