IgbereTV reports that the boxing rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury has been fixed on 18th July, 2020.
The 34-year-old Wilder will be hoping to reclaim his WBC heavyweight title when both fighters face-off again at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, after triggering off the re-match clause in their contract.
Fury needed just seven rounds to dethrone the Bronze Bombers when the two fighters clashed on February 22. The Gypsy-King stunned the American opponent after leaving him bleeding through his ears at the end of the fight. Wilder was given just 30 days to exercise the rematch.
Fury’s brutality over Wilder saw him land in the hospital and it took him a few days to make a statement on social media about this new development.
But speaking in a video on social media, he addressed his first professional defeat as “Hello my people, my Bomb Squad army, my Bomb Squad nation, to all my loved ones around the world, I just want to let you know I am here,” he said. “Your king is here. And we ain’t going nowhere, for the war has just begun. I will rise again. I am strong. I am a king, you can’t take my pride. “I am a warrior. I am a king that will never give up. I’m a king that will fight to the death. And if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war, don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the title.
