Following heated press conference, Nevada bans Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury weigh-in faceoff

The build-up to Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2 was largely incident free... that is, until Wednesday’s press conference.

In addition to the standard war of words, things got physical during the faceoff as they exchanged two-handed shoves, and they kept jawing at each other after they were separated. Security had to rush onto the stage to restore order.

This is hardly the first time this has happened in boxing history, let alone with an entourage also on stage. Hell, we’ve often seen this sort of circus occur in the state of Nevada!
