Sherdog Boxing: The Weekly Wrap

Boxing fans in New York City got a treat this week, when it was announced that Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s rematch would be held at the Barclay’s Center on either April 27 or May 18. The first fight was obviously great, and the rematch will undoubtedly have far more hype behind it, as both men have become more famous among mainstream sports fans because of it. It will be interesting to see who the fan favorite is: Wilder is the American, but Fury has Irish roots and tons of Irish people live in NYC. Fury will also be the more sympathetic fighter, after so many people thought he should have won the first fight by decision.
