With their first encounter ending in a controversial draw, they find themselves sharing the ring again. Both men with undefeated records and only a single draw (against each other) on their ledger.
The big men are taking center stage for the undisputed prize. “The Bronze Bomber” and “The Gypsy King”…. Who will reign supreme?

STÍL
Wilder:
A wild-swinging, often-sloppy fighter with long arms and fight-changing power in both fists, Wilder likes to set the range with his lead hand and follow it with a variety of power punches. He carries his power late into his fights and is capable of scoring a knockout at any time.
Fury:
A confident, self-assured, and sometimes cocky fighter, Fury has nimble moves and quickness for such a large fighter. He combines good footwork with upper-body movement and ability to box either orthodox or southpaw, keeping opponents off-balance and setting up his own offensive attack.
THEIR FIRST BOUT
Wilder-Fury I:Fury opened the bout with effective movement, keeping Wilder off balance and unable to land anything significant. Wilder was able to land several hard jabs in the 4ú bhabhta, trickling blood from Fury’s nose. Fury spent time in the mid rounds as a southpaw and found success. Wilder scored a knockdown in the 9úround but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11úround. The memorable 12úround saw Wilder break through and land a right hand and left hook combination. Fury fell hard to the canvas, flat on his back. He amazingly rose at the count of 9 and was outlanding Wilder as the final round concluded. Alejandro Rochin scored 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper scored 114-112 Fury, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
LÁIDREACHTAÍ
Wilder:
* Power – The detonation at the end of Wilder’s fists, primarily is right hand, is of nuclear proportions. While his left hand carries substantial pop in it, it is Wilder’s right hand that is seen as maybe the most devastating punch in boxing today. He can end fights by landing his right hand straight down the middle, arcing it over the top, or splitting the guard as an uppercut.
* Conditioning – Early in his career, when he was ending all of his fights within a few rounds, there were question marks if Wilder would fade in the later rounds. He has proven that he can fight equally as hard in the late rounds and capable of a knockout until the final bell.
* Athleticism – Wilder combines a rare blend of size, luas, cumhacht, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Fury:
* Movement – For a man with the size and physique that resembles a silverback, Fury moves with the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. He is light on his feet and possesses shifty upperbody movement that is uncanny for someone so large.
* Confidence – Fury is supremely confident in himself and believes in his ability. He shows little or no fear in the ring. His self-assured charismatic nature gives him a psychological advantage.
* Resilient – Whether it was climbing off the canvas against Wilder, overcoming a horrific cut against Wallin, or battling against depression and substance abuse, Fury has shown a toughness and resiliency that are to be admired.
LAIGÍ
Wilder:
* Sloppy – Wilder shows so much faith in his power that he is frequently wild and sloppy with his punches and footwork. He often times looks very amateurish in the ring.
* Trouble With Boxers – Fighters who use good movement and boxing ability trouble Wilder. He struggles setting his feet and is often a step behind. He was trailing Luis Ortiz in both fights and was outclassed for most of his first fight with Fury.
* Chin – The few times that Wilder was seriously chin-checked, he showed some flaws in his durability. Ortiz had him badly hurt and close to a knockout loss.
Fury:
* Distractions – Fury is loving his new-found fame and talking WWE and MMA. He split with his trainer Ben Davidson and is calling his own shots. Fury also has spells in the ring where he loses focus and he has found himself on the canvas more than once during a lapse in concentration.
* Personal Life – It is well-documented Fury’s past personal demons with depression and substance abuse, along with a weight gain to over 400 lbs. While his triumphs over those demons is admirable, the lasting physical effects cannot be denied.
* Skin– It’s only been five months since Fury suffered a terrible gash over his right eye against Otto Wallin, requiring 47 stitches. While doctors have deemed the cut sufficiently healed, his tender skin could reopen at the most inopportune time.
Bout ROIMHE
Wilder: (11/23/19) – Wilder again scored a come-from-behind knockout against Luis Oritz. After being outboxed for the majority of the first six rounds, Wilder set his range against a tiring Ortiz and landed a pulverizing right hand which resulted in a one-punch knockout.
Fury:
(9/14/19) – Fury survived a bloody contest with the undefeated but unknown Otto Wallin. Fury suffered a cut over his right eye in the 3rdround and the blood clearly affected his vision. Despite the impairment, Fury still controlled the action and hurt Wallin several times en route to a decision victory.
3 Léirithe IS
Wilder:
* Arthur PIN (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4úround and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9úround sent Szpilka down and unconscious, an 2016 Knockout na Bliana.
* Corn Óir (1/17/15) – Wilder answered questions about his stamina by going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career and capturing the WBC title in the process. Wilder utilized his long jab and kept Stiverne at bay with his underrated skillset.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) – Wilder survived some scary moments against the oft-avoided Cuban veteran before prevailing by 10úround knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5úround. An Ortiz rally in the 7úhad Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Fury:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) – Fury went into Klitschko’s backyard and wrested the unified and lineal heavyweight championships via unanimous decision. While the bout was a cautious affair, Fury was able to outwork Klitschko with superior footwork, gluaiseacht, and a higher punch output.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) – Fury dominated the rematch with his British rival, boxing from a distance, switching between orthodox and southpaw, and punishing his adversary until the corner stopped the fight after 10 one-sided rounds.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) – With the exception of two knockdowns and some curious judging, Fury was in control for most of the bout. He avoided Wilder’s punches and landed effective counters, making Wilder looked confused and off-balance in the process.
KEYS TO VICTORY
Wilder:
* Utilize his jab and negate Fury’s awkward style
* Keep his power punches short and compact
* Don’t get mesmerized by Fury’s upperbody movement
Fury:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
CEISTEANNA
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Fury:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE Prediction
Both combatants are exceptional showmen and their respective ring entrances will have the crowd abuzz. The electricity will be at a fever pitch at the opening bell. With their familiarity, there will be less of a feeling out process than their first encounter. Fury will be on his toes moving forward and Wilder will try to time his advances and land counter punches. At the end of the 1ú bhabhta, Fury will taunt Wilder and there will be an exchange of words.
Fury’s constant movement and single punches will trouble Wilder as his counter punches will find mostly empty air. The following rounds will be an exciting game of cat and mouse with the smaller Wilder in the role of the cat, futility trying to corner the larger Wilder.
Wilder will find success with his jab in the 6ú agus 7úrounds and a looping right hand will catch Fury on top of the head, knocking him off balance to the canvas. Fury will rise, wink at his corner, and come bouncing back into action. The excitement will have Wilder swinging wildly and falling to the canvas himself after missing overexaggerated right hand.
With Wilder seemingly arm-weary from his punch output the previous round, Fury will turn southpaw and land several hard right hands, then bounce out of range of any counter punches.
Fury’s movement and higher workrate will carry the action through the championship rounds, leading him again to an apparent lead going into the final round.
The decision this time will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld a shade closer at 114-113, all in favor of “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Feabhra 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
Chun anois, cé, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, An Airgintín.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Bealtaine 13-14, i bPáras, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” he noted. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, Lena n-áirítear, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar ChavezSr., agusMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).
Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.
Training Camp Notes
(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)
Training Camp:“Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 bliain d'aois, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.
Yomar Alamo:“He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.
He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight? I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”
Fighting in Alamo’s backyard:“I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”
How do you envision this fight going:“Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”
Bout importance:“I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”
Prediction:“The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

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 ChampionDeontay “An Bomber Chré-” Wilderand lineal championTyson “The Gypsy King” Furyis 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?
