The fight between the World Heavyweight Champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Deontay Wilder, and his challenger this weekend, Tyson Fury, kicked off this Wednesday in a press conference that ended with thrusts between them. The fight in which Wilder will expose the crown will be held early Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (Nevada).

The American Wilder, who is 42-0-1, with 41 knockouts, go up to the ring to expose his scepter to the British Fury, with a record of 29-0-1, with 20 off matches.

In the presentation, the local security agents had to intervene to prevent the confrontation between the two contestants from going further and the act became a combat. Security seemed insufficient as both continued insulting, shouting and retreating to continue the trouble. “We are both emotionally involved in this,” said Wilder (34), who added that “we both want to do our best, but be assured that you will come out with your hand up.” Fury (31 years old) indicated that “he talks a lot, I don't, I only speak above the ring and With my fists I shut up his mouth“.

Undefeated

The fight is the revenge 14 months later that both kept their unbeaten records in a fight that ended in a draw. “Never forget when I found you, you were full of cocana, contemplating suicide. So never forget it. I brought you back to the world of boxing, “said Wilder, who helped convince Fury to return to boxing when he was going through the worst.

“I provide food for your family when fighting against you, and I am doing it a second time. Never forget it. I brought you boxing big time. I retired you to come back,” Wilder insisted, a comment that outraged the British. “Wilder is talking a lot of crap. He gave me a chance, but I took him to the biggest stage in the world. And here he is, is that how he thanks me? I put millions in your account. You owe me everything. Welcome to boxing big time“.

Wilder will make his ninth title defense in an attempt to break a tie with his intentional Muhammad Ali on the list of consecutive heavyweight defenses. Fury defending the linear title for the sixth time.
