Tyson Fury promises 'fantastic fight' as Deontay Wilder says just winning isn't enough

LAS VEGAS — By Tyson Fury’s standards, the black suit he wore to a media gathering in the vestibule of a showroom Tuesday at the MGM Grand was rather conservative. It had his face all over it, as his newly tailored dress clothes often do these days, but there is one significant difference in his wardrobe these days: The size.

The power forward-sized heavyweight has put on nearly 20 pounds since last he fought Deontay Wilder, when they battled to a dramatic split draw on Dec. 1, 2018. His suit size is smaller, though, and he’s clearly wider in the shoulders and narrower in the waist.
