The fight billed as Once and For all will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. Tyson Fury would want to replicate his performance from the last fight. Depriving Wilder of any space to free his arms and using his big frame and weight to push up against Wilder and roughhouse him.
The tactic paid off last time with Wilder looking lost inside the ring for the first time in 40 matches. The undefeated American fighter was delivered his first loss at the hands of the Brit. On October 9, who do you think will get their hand raised?
