Deontay Wilder tegenover Tyson Fury in titelgevecht zwaargewicht

December 1, 2018 - De ongeslagen WBC-kampioen Deontay Wilder staat ter verdediging van zijn titel in het Staples Center in Los Angeles tegenover terug-
komende Tyson Fury. De winnaar krijgt de kans op een wedstrijd tegen de Britse bokser Anthony Joshua -- de IBF-, IBO-, WBA- en WBO-titelhouder -- in 2019, om de zwaargewichtdivisie te verenigen, voor het eerst sinds 1999.

In March, Deontay Wilder completed the eighth defence of his WBC title, defeating Cuba’s Luis Ortiz. Wider floored his opponent twice in round 10 after surviving a 7th round onslaught by Ortiz. The fight with Fury is widely accepted as the biggest of the American’s career.

Tyson Fury is also undefeated. The “Gypsy King” beat Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to win the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles, but was later stripped of his belts due to substance abuse. Following a stint in rehab he made his comeback earlier this year and has since defeated both Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta.
