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.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
