On February 22, the world of boxing will witness a thrilling rematch between heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions have announced that tickets for the highly anticipated bout will go on sale, now that the venue has been confirmed.
Wilder, who improved his record to 43-0 with a seventh-round knockout of Luis Ortiz on November 23 in Las Vegas, expressed his eagerness to give fans what they want to see.
"I want to give the fans what they want to see. I’ve been doing it with my last three outings -- Fury, (Dominic) Breazeale and Ortiz," he said.
Wilder and Fury fought to a split decision draw last December in Los Angeles, with Fury leading on the scorecards before being knocked down by Wilder in the 12th round.
Former world champion Fury was looking forward to taking care of "unfinished business" against Wilder, saying, "This is unfinished business for me, but come February 22, this dosser will finally get what’s coming to him, and I can’t wait!"
