Fight preview
15 months on from epic first encounter in Los Angeles, the heavyweight kings go to war again tonight with Fury looking to become the first man to beat Wilder and take his WBC title.
A controversial split decision draw in the first bout set the tone for a blistering build-up to tonight’s rematch. Now, the time for talking is over.

Prediction
Fury has boldly predicted an early knockout victory and does look a more formidable physical presence heading into this fight than in the first encounter.
But engaging with Wilder seldom ends well – if Fury can replicate his near punch-perfect performance from the first fight without getting knocked down again we will have a new champion.
