Deontay Wilder pushes Tyson Fury ahead of their rematch on Saturday night
ONE of the most anticipated rematches in boxing for many years gets underway on Saturday night-Sunday morning.
It pits one of the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time, Deontay Wilder, against Tyson Fury — a giant of a man who moves like a middleweight and, if Wilder is to be believed, punches like one.
With Fury making clear his intention of going in to the rematch looking for the knockout, Wilder’s claim that Fury lacks power will be tested, injecting an extra shot of intrigue into a fight that already contains all the ingredients required to produce a classic.
