He's not a natural big heavyweight, he's a natural small man," Fury said of the lean, 6' 7" Wilder. Redemption is upon us, and I can't wait to show the world what I'm all about." The 39 pound weight difference marks the smallest differential between the two so far, but Fury said he welcomed the bulked up Wilder. "We have rejuvenated myself, reinvented myself. "I'm looking to be calm in this fight so I can make great decisions and show the people what I'm all about. "Calmness is the key to the storm," Wilder said. The knockout artist from Tuscaloosa, Alabama has kept his emotions in check this week and was mostly unwilling to engage with the loquacious Fury at Wednesday's news conference or the weigh in, neither of which featured the traditional face-off. "That's what 277 pounds means to me." The underdog Wilder weighed in at a surprising 238 pounds, seven pounds more than in their last meeting. "It means total obliteration, total annihilation!" Fury yelled to a supportive crowd assembled for the weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Asked what the extra weight on his 6' 9" frame meant, the undefeated "Gypsy King" from Wythenshawe, England did not mince his words. An amped up Fury, who wore a black brimmed hat in an apparent nod to WWE wrestler The Undertaker, was supremely confident he would emerge victorious in the trilogy bout. Fury, who recovered from a 12th round knockdown in their first meeting to earn a draw before dominating Wilder 20 months ago to take the strap, weighed in at 277 pounds, five pounds heavier than in their second fight.

Once the final bell rang, the judges ruled it a controversial split draw: 114-112 for Fury, 115-111 Wilder and 113-113. In their first fight in Los Angeles, Fury recovered from two juddering knockdowns to claim a draw, miraculously climbing off the canvas in the 12th round to hang on for a share of the spoils. The fight is a classic clash of styles, pitting Wilder's devastating knockout power against the more elusive, mobile defensive style of Fury.
Tickets for Saturday's bout have been changing hands for up to $11,000, while promoters predict the event could generate more than 2 million pay-per-view sales in the United States alone.Īt the centre of the action are two of heavyweight boxing's most charismatic and skillful protagonists, the hard-hitting "Bronze Bomber" Wilder and Fury, the eccentric, self-styled "Gypsy King" from northern England.īoth men will be taking unbeaten records into the 12-round contest, with the 34-year-old Wilder looking to add Fury's name to a tally which reads 42-0 with one drawn and 41 knockouts. The two will square off in one of the biggest heavyweight fights recent memory Saturday at the MGM's Grand Garden Arena. That's mine," Fury yelled at Wilder, who holds the WBC heavyweight title.
But the pair did jaw at each other from a distance on the podium.
