A FEW DAYS late but we are still at that juncture where it is timely to reveal a few New Year’s resolutions or a wish list. I’ve seen a number of people keeping it topical and piping up with their 20/20 vision, so here is mine and let’s see how much of it we can make come true over the course of the next 12 months.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - When a Deontay Wilder combination left Tyson Fury horizontal in the final round of their get-together 13 months ago in Los Angeles, the exultations were immediate. The Staples Center crowd went berserk. The WBC champ strutted to a neutral corner. And the Showtime broadcast crew revved its hyperbolic engines. “Mamma Mia...
Tyson Fury refuses to accept any other response to his first fight with Deontay Wilder than the one where he deserved to win. Nearly 15 months after the pair of unbeaten heavyweight behemoths fought to a 12-round draw in Los Angeles, comes their anticipated title fight rematch. The two will once again collide on February 22 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, headlining a Pay-Per-View event big enough to bring together ESPN and Fox Sports in a joint venture.

No matter your take on the outcome of the first fight, there is common ground on how the rematch will play out between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. Most experts envision only two possible scenarios for their February 22 Pay-Per-View headliner from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas—either Wilder lands a right hand to end it, or England’s Fury outboxes the unbeaten American to take a decision win and with it the World heavyweight championship.
Deontay Wilder has every right to believe he will finish what he started nearly 15 months ago. Things didn’t go entirely as planned when the unbeaten heavyweight titlist collided with Tyson Fury, having to rely on a pair of late knockdowns to walk away with a split decision draw in their December 2018 instant classic in Los Angeles. Still, it extended another stretch for Wilder, who has either dropped or stopped every opponent he has faced ‘till this day. This time around, he plans to add Fury’s name to the latter list when they meet February 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
