LAS VEGAS (Feb. 18, 2020) — As fight night nears, boxing legends, world champions, celebrities and more shared their predictions for the highly anticipated rematch between unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder and undefeated lineal champion Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury ahead of the historic, mega PPV event this Saturday, February 22 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
It seems that whatever happens this Saturday night in Las Vegas when heavyweight rivals Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury collide in their second fight, we fans will not be watching the two giants share a ring for the final time. Fury, speaking with Sky Sports, has confirmed that there is a rematch clause in place, one that will allow Saturday night’s loser to demand a third fight.
Fight fans, we congregate at the behest of another classic fight! What more could we ask for? Over the years memorable fights always share a common theme; one man wants to box, the other wants to make it a fight.
Deontay Wilder tells fans that there won’t be a third fight between him and Tyson Fury after he finishes inflicting pain on him this Saturday night on February 22 in their long-awaited rematch.
Oscar De La Hoya has given Matchroom Sport and their super middleweight champions Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith a deadline of Monday to agree to the deal offered to them for a May 2 fight against Canelo Alvarez or else he’s moving on.
Devin Haney says he doesn’t understand why Ryan Garcia is talking so much about wanting a fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis because he doesn’t see that as a realistic option at all for him. Haney (24-0, 15 KOs) believes that a fight between him and Ryan (20-0, 17 KOs) is a match that can EASILY be made between his promoters at Matchroom and Ryan’s with Golden Boy Promotions.Haney wants Garcia to stop ducking him, and make the fight happen this year. Unfortunately, the Golden Boy star Garcia, 21, has already mentioned the next three fights he wants in 2020, and none of them include Haney.
Deontay Wilder has improved more with his game than Tyson Fury has, says trainer Teddy Atlas. He says he noticed the improvements to Wilder’s delivery system for his right hand two fights ago when he fought Dominic Breazeale. Atlas feels that Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) is a better fighter now the one that fought Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) two years ago in 2018, and barely escaped with a 12 round draw.
