Eddie Hearn, promoter for IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, has already spoken to his boxer and he wants to face newly crowned WBC champion Tyson Fury next.

Tyson Fury brutally dethroned Deontay Wilder and completed his return to the top of world boxing with a stunning TKO triumph in a one-sided WBC heavyweight title fight. There was no repeat of their contentious December 2018 draw as Fury overwhelmed the previously undefeated champion before Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in the seventh round on Saturday.

Tyson Fury dominated, outlanding Deontay Wilder 82-34 in total punches to capture the WBC heavyweight title with a seventh round stoppage. Fury landed 58 power punches in less than 7 rounds of rematch after landing just 38 in the first fight. Wilder landed just 34 punches all fight and just 18 power shots.

By Keith Idec - LAS VEGAS – Tyson Fury did everything he promised he’d do Saturday night. The undefeated Fury, heavier and more aggressive this time, beat up Deontay Wilder, knocked him down twice and finally caused Wilder’s trainers to throw in the towel during the seventh round of their WBC heavyweight championship rematch at MGM Grand Garden...

WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder and undefeated lineal champion Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury are going to collide on Saturday, February 22 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS – Deontay Wilder can’t say with absolute certainty that Tyson Fury won’t at least attempt to be more aggressive early in their rematch than he was in the first fight. Fury repeatedly has stated that he’ll pressure Wilder and make the hard-hitting WBC champion fight off his back foot Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena. The lineal heavyweight champion replaced former trainer Ben Davison with Javan Steward at least in part because Steward could prepare him to attack Wilder more than he did during their controversial split draw in December 2018 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Las Vegas based strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade helped top heavyweight contender Luis Oritz prepare for his showdown against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in November.

One second. The difference was one second. Tyson Fury, inexplicably behind on one card, well ahead on another and narrowly ahead on the last, had a decision win within reach. He’d survived a ninth round knockout where he didn’t seem all that hurt.

Bernard Hopkins doesn’t consider Tyson Fury the best active heavyweight in boxing. The former middleweight and light heavyweight champion is awed, however, by Fury’s incredible ability to promote himself. In fact, Hopkins has seen only one better salesman in boxing history, the incomparable Muhammad Ali.

Deontay Wilder doesn’t buy Tyson Fury’s confidence. The way Wilder views it, if Fury truly believed he is as better than Wilder as he says, the lineal heavyweight champion wouldn’t have made so many changes while preparing for their rematch Saturday night in Las Vegas. Most notably, Fury fired trainer Ben Davison in December and replaced him with Javan Steward, the late Emanuel Steward’s nephew.
