Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) and Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) have been on a crash course for a long time, but that was derailed when Fury left the sport in 2016 amid a doping scandal and medical issues. It took a long time for his return to the ring, going from a November 2015 win over the legendary Wladimir Klitschko to a June 2018 contest against Sefer Seferi. Since then he’s also beaten Francesco Pianeta, and with two tune-up fights under his belt, has declared himself ready for Wilder.
Many wanted to see Wilder face Anthony Joshua next, but an in-shape and healthy Fury is an equally tantalizing bout. Wilder hasn’t even sniffed a loss throughout his career, and is coming off wins over Luis Ortiz, Bermane Stiverne and Gerald Washington, all knockouts.
This is one of the biggest bouts of the year, with Wilder’s purse set to be in the $14 million range, while Fury is slated to earn $10.25 million, in addition to both fighters getting a cut of the pay-per-view revenue.
The card will also see Jarrett Hurd put up the IBF, WBA (Super) and IBO light middleweight titles against Jason Welborn in the featured undercard matchup. Another title, the vacnt IBF mini flyweight (strawweight) title will be on the line in a contest between Mark Anthony Barriga and Carlos Licona.
Yet another title will be on the line — on a different card. Adonis Stevenson is putting up his WBC (World) light heavyweight title against Oleksandr Gvozdyk on another card in Canada, but Showtime plans to air the bout as a lead-in for Saturday’s action, beginning at 7:45 p.m. ET on Showtime and streaming via their Youtube channel.
Other undercard bouts, which can be viewed below, will be available for streaming via Showtime as well.
