With the pitstops out of the way, the gargantuan clash between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will see a reprise as they dance for a second time to settle qualms about their controversial split decision draw back in 2018.
The two undefeated heavyweights set to meet once again to settle their unfinished business come February 22nd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Wilder will put his WBC title on the line for the 11th time while also trying to win the vacant The Ring as well the as lineal champion reputation of Fury which he mocked during the press conference.
“I don’t believe anybody can match my heart and determination,” said Fury during their press conference.
This is after voicing out the respect on Wilder’s impressive boxing record of 41 knockouts on his 42 wins and one draw.
Meanwhile, the undercard lineup has been announced that will usher in the most anticipated heavyweight matchup this early in 2020.
There will be two heavyweight collisions for February 22 (Feb. 23, Manila time) apart from Fury-Wiler II, Charles Martin (27-2-1, 24 KOs) will face off with Gerald Washington (20-3-1, 13 KOs), a co-promotional effort between PBC and Top Rank.
On the other hand, Emanuel Navarrete (30-1, 26 KOs) is defending his WBO super bantamweight title when he faces Jeo Tupas Santisima (19-2, 16 KOs) for Top Rank’s ”featured fight\” on the undercard.
Likewise, light middleweights Sebastian Fundora (13-0-1, 9 KOs) and Daniel Lewis (6-0, 4 KO) will be the two fighters dubbed as a PBC vs. Top Rank fight.

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.

Super-welterweight Terrence Crawford is set to fight Israil Madrimov – WBA and WBO interim World Super-Welterweight champ on August 3, 2024 in BMO Stadium – a Soccer-specific stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Crawford will move up to 154 pounds to clash Madrimov for his WBA junior middleweight title. This is halfway to Canelo Alvarez – the super middleweight undisputed champ of the world.

However, undisputed heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk wants to see Crawford beating Canelo. It can be recalled that Usyk smashed Tyson Fury just recently.
