One of the biggest fights of the year will take place on Saturday as Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder collide in Los Angeles.

The pair will face each other at the Staples Centre on December 1, with the fight scheduled to start around 5am UK time on Sunday.

The hugely anticipated fight pits the two undefeated heavyweight boxers together just months after Fury made his return to the ring following a 32-month absence from the sport.

The Gipsy King won his first two fights on his return but has not fought in America since 2013 while Wilder remains unbeaten in 40 fights.

What was said at the press conference

A fairly tame press conference on Thursday was sparked into life with Travis Kauffman warning Luis Ortiz not to worry about a with Deontay Wilder.

"I'm not afraid to fight anybody. One thing we know about Luis Ortiz, he can fight, he can punch. But one thing about me, I don't five a f***. There is nothing that is going to stop me beating this man. he is trying to stop me feeding my kids, its my job to stop him from feeding his kids.

"he is so worried about fighting Deontay Wilder - Deontay Wilder already f*****him up. He's gotta worry about me, he's got a real killer in front of him."

Ortiz's response? A a bit calmer. "There is 10 rounds to get the job done. Whether its in the first or the 10th round I will do my job which is to seek and destroy. I'm here to do my job, i hope Travis is prepared and has come to do his."
