Last month, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) and Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KOs) engaged in a highly captivating fight, with Fury largely outboxing Wilder, but Wilder able to twice drop Fury, including a dramatic 12th round shot that Fury somehow survived. In the end, the bout was ruled a split draw, meaning Wilder retained his title thanks to the last knockdown.
There have been calls for an immediate rematch, perhaps more so than the want of either man to fight WBA-IBF-WBO champion Anthony Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) next, and it appears if we will get Wilder vs.
