The whole world is waiting for the anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder (Bronze Bomber) and Tyson Fury (Gypsy King) next year, 2020.
The first encounter occurred on 1st December 2018, where the match ended in a split-decision draw. Wilder retained his WBC Heavyweight Title once again, but it will be up for grabs during the Wilder vs. Fury 2.
The Bronze Bomber was able to floor The Gipsy King twice in the 12-round fight, and Fury came up strong to bring more trouble to the tired-looking Wilder. That’s why we think that this is the most anticipated fight of the next year, 2020, besides the rematch where Antony Joshua reclaimed his world title from Andy Ruiz Jr. in December 2019.
