Mark your calendars, as the big heavyweight championship rematch is now official for February 22nd.
On Friday, the WBC title fight between champion Deontay Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) and Tyson Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) was formally announced for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a co-promotion venture between Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and Bob Arum’s Top Rank, and with that is a rare joint PPV production involving FOX Sports and ESPN+. Details for the UK rights are unknown at this point.
Wilder and Fury famously fought to a split draw last year, with Wilder twice flooring Fury but failing to put him away.
