Six months after a remarkable fight with Deontay Wilder, lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) makes his Top Rank/ESPN debut tonight (Saturday, June 15th) at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The brash Brit’s opponent is the undefeated but also largely unheralded German Tom Schwarz (24-0, 16 KOs), who is looking to pull off an upset akin to Andy Ruiz stopping Anthony Joshua earlier this month.
Fury was in line to rematch Wilder after battling to a draw last December, but made the surprise move to join Top Rank, killing off plans for an immediate rematch.
