Deontay Wilder has praised fierce rival Tyson Fury ahead of their eagerly anticipated rematch in Las Vegas on February 22
Ahead of his much anticipated rematch with Tyson Fury on February 22, Deontay Wilder has been rating his rivals in the heavyweight division.
However, the WBC champion did knock him down twice in the fight, with the Englishman somehow rising from the canvas in a dramatic 12th round. The 30-year-old, however, redeemed himself with a unanimous points decision win in their Saudi Arabia rematch last December. Despite being the mandatory challenger for Wilder’s WBC title, Dillian Whyte will have to wait until February 2021 before he gets his shot.
