DAZN broadcasts the next absolute top fight after the exciting boxing fights of Anthony Joshua, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Oleksandr Usyk. On Saturday, December 1, current WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder (40-0) will face challenger Tyson Fury (27-0) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Fans can look forward to a boxing spectacle and a wild exchange of blows. Both boxers have an incredible physique, are over 2 meters tall and have won all the fights in their careers. But above all the knockout rate of the two boxers is outstanding: While Fury won 19 of his 27 fights by knock-out, Wilder even succeeded in 98 percent of his fights.
The fact that this fight promises a lot of spectacle can also be guessed from the previous press conferences, where both opponents gave each other nothing verbally.
For Tyson Fury, who has rehabilitated himself after personal setbacks, this is the first title fight after losing three World Cup belts to Vladimir Klitschko in 2015. After the escapades in the past, a win against the currently best US boxer would be a furious comeback.
There is a lot at stake for both boxers, because the world federation WBC has announced that the winner will win the ultimate heavyweight title unification fight against boxing superstar Anthony Joshua.
Thomas de Buhr, Executive Vice President DAZN: “2018 was an exciting and intensive year for boxing fans on DAZN. Thanks to the cooperation with Matchroom Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions it was ensured that numerous boxing highlights will be broadcast live on DAZN in the coming years. At the end of the year we can now present another heavyweight top fight to our fans with Wilder vs. Fury, which fits seamlessly into our boxing portfolio.”
