Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Feabhra 22 in Historic Mega PPV Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Feabhra 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “An Bomber Chré-” Wilder and lineal champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury is the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.
Literally.
Standing 6’7″ and 6’9″ faoi seach, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine agus teidil trom dírshliochtach, seasamh comhchoiteann 13 cosa agus 4 orlach. An bout teideal amháin trom “taller,” sin a labhairt, bhí ar siúl i 2007, nuair a chosain an 7-chos Nikolay Valuev a theideal trom-mheáchain WBA in aghaidh an 6'6″ Jameel McCline. Ach ní mór roimh an spórt fir is fearr mhór curtha chomh mór is atá siad sa lá atá inniu.
A chur i bpeirspictíocht conas atá Wilder mór agus Fury, tá sé is fearr chun iad a chur i gcomparáid leis an talamh na giants: An NBA. Smaoinigh ar an bhfíric go bhfuil ag 6'7″ agus i gcomharsanacht 220 punt, Is Wilder an méid céanna mar Los Angeles bearrthóirí beag ar aghaidh Kawhi Leonard. Fury, Idir an dá linn, Is beagnach mar an gcéanna le LeBron James i dtéarmaí airde agus meáchan.
Na laethanta seo, Féach ar an Barr 10 d'aon rátálacha a roghnaíonn tú seónna go bhfuil an chuid is mó iomaitheoir tógtha cosúil Super Bowl deireadh curadh daingean Travis Kelce, a sheasann 6'6″ agus meáchan thart 250 punt.
De bhrí go mbeidh aon duine a faire ar an chéad chomórtas thrilling idir Wilder agus Fury fhios, Is iad an dá deimhin lúthchleasaithe, i bhfad ó na behemoths lumbering fhéadfadh a bheith ag súil fir dá tomhais a bheith. D'fhéadfadh Wilder a eol do chuid titanic cumhachta amháin-Punch, ach tá sé ar taispeáint ar roinnt gluaiseacht go fírinneach dinimiciúla sa fáinne chomh maith. Téigh féachaint ar an téip a knockout de Bermane Stiverne agus é ag breathnú faoi cheangal air i leataoibh uillinneacha roimh tuirlingthe a shots tubaisteach a chruthú, juking cosúil le glacadóir leathan i réimse oscailte, agus is féidir leat a fheiceáil cén fáth a shamhlaigh Wilder de imirt peile choláiste ag Alabama nuair a bhí sé i scoil ard.
Fury riamh dreamed de a dhéanamh rud ar bith eile seachas dornálaíocht-conas a d'fhéadfadh tú nuair a bhí tú ag ainmnithe tar éis finscéal heavyweight agus rugadh i teaghlach saibhir le stair troid in Éirinn. ach an “Gypsy Rí” Rugadh chomh maith le nimbleness iontach chun dul in éineacht le ar feadh an tsaoil de fhorbairt acumen dornálaíochta, gliding fud an fáinne agus dornálaíocht le stíl a bheadh a befit a welterweight, Ní cumhacht chun tosaigh-iarrachtaí trom.
Wilder agus Fury go sainiúil mar gheall híorónach, Nach bhfuil giants ceannasach de ghnáth i réimsí spóirt. Cé go bhfuil cuid curtha ar fad-am ar greats-i.e. an 6'9″ Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, is glas chun Halla Haca na Laochra-minic amanna fhear mhóra is eol chuid is mó ach as a bheith chomh mór, agus nach teacht ar an mbarr ar a spórt. Agus intuigthe mar sin. Bheith colossally mór is minic mar thoirmeasc ar a oiread bealaí tá sé ina bhuntáiste, go háirithe nuair a thagann sé le gluaiseacht agus deaslámhacht. imreoir is airde an NFL, seacht n-footer Richard Singh, imir ach ocht cluichí gairme, an MLB uile-am ar imreoir is airde, an 6'11” Jon Rauch, Bhí reliever journeyman, agus leadóg’ 6'10” agus 6'11” skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner agus Rilley Opelka aon majors a n-ainm.
Toisc go bhfuil dhaoine a bheith níos mó agus níos láidre thar na blianta, go nádúrtha, ionas go mbeidh boxers. Rocky Marciano, seasamh 5'10 ½” agus a mheá díreach os cionn 180 punt, bheadh ina Cruiserweight bídeach ag chaighdeáin an lae inniu. Joe Louis agus Muhammad Ali, mheas ag go leor a bheith ar an dá heavyweights is mó ar fad-am ar, agus trodaithe is cinnte nach bhfuil beag bídeach i n-am, Sheas 6'1 ½” agus 6'3″ faoi seach. Teoiriciúil, Bheadh Louis thabhairt suas naoi n-orlach a bhaint amach go Fury, a bhfuil a wingspan 85″. Bhí asluitigh i eras níos luaithe, ar ndóigh-Jess Willard agus Ernie Terrell bhí 6'6″ agus os a chionn agus a gabhadh trom-mheáchain teideal-ach ar feadh na mblianta raibh sé indéanta a bheith ar an méid de Cruiserweight nua-aimseartha agus ní hamháin san iomaíocht, ach a bheith ina figiúr a fhorchur sa roinn.
Rudaí thosaigh a athrú sa 80s déanach agus 90s, nuair Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe agus Lennox Lewis, Triúr de 6'6″ criosanna heavies gabhadh. Ach bhí thug an ré nua-aimseartha i ag Vitali agus Wladimir Klitscko, an 6'6″ deartháireacha a bhí i mbun go bunúsach an roinn le haghaidh an chuid is fearr de deich mbliana roimh Fury unseated Wladimir don choróin dírshliochtach i 2015.
Dornálaíocht bhí a sciar na n giants tríd na blianta, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8″ southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “The Towering Inferno” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1″ with a 90″ reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.
Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can be “too big” to be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3″ and with a 78″ reach, or Larry Holmes at 6’3″ with an 81″ reach, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?
At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, yes, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.
Who will stand tall on February 22?
