The WBC heavyweight championship is at stake at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Tonight (Saturday, December 1st) sees reigning titleholder Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) put his belt and undefeated record on the line against former unified champion Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) in what is a fascinating stylistic matchup with a lot of hype behind it. Wilder is coming off the biggest win of his career against Luis Ortiz in March, rallying from almost being knocked out to brutally knock Ortiz out with his vaunted power. Fury has won a couple of tune-ups after being out of boxing due to a drug test failure, substance abuse problems, and mental health issues.
