Wilder-Fury Notes

Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren has confirmed details of the rematch clause for Saturday’s rematch between his fighter Tyson Fury and WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. “The loser has 30 days to call on the rematch and that has to be accepted,” Warren told BBC Radio 5 Live.

This is interesting. While the betting odds are pretty even, polled heavyweight boxers young and old are overwhelmingly predicting that WBC heavyweight Deontay Wilder will defeat Tyson Fury on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Evander Holyfield – Wilder: “I’m picking Deontay Wilder based on his confidence and the fact that he does all of the right things to remain in great shape, and that he’s committed to his craft. Wilder’s not just a big guy with a right hand, but he’s also become more calculated in his approach. That’s why I’m picking him to win this second fight against Tyson Fury.”

Larry Holmes – Wilder: “Deontay Wilder will knock out Tyson Fury in the seventh or eighth round if he does what I know that he can do, which is stay on the outside, use his jab, throw that right hand over the jab.”

Adam Kownacki – Wilder: “I’m going with Deontay Wilder, and I think it’s going to be a knockout in round seven. I think it will be a rematch similar to the one with Luis Ortiz, whom he stopped in the 10th round the first time and in the seventh round the second time. Wilder will be patient, wait for his opening, and then, he will deliver. I think Wilder lands the big right hand and that, this time, Fury doesn’t get up.”

Charles Martin – Wilder: “Deontay Wilder’s gonna win by knockout. I believe that Tyson Fury will be out-boxing Wilder for most of the rounds, but then, he will get stopped by that powerful right hand in the eighth.”

Luis Ortiz – Wilder: “Deontay Wilder will win a decision over Tyson Fury, who will be coming in respecting Wilder’s power and being wary of taking a shot based on all of the evidence of Wilder’s previous fights with me, and from their first fight. Looking at what Wilder was able to do with me during the championship rounds of our first fight and also much sooner than that in our second fight, he’s going to be worrying about taking a similar shot, otherwise, there’s a locomotive coming.”

Bermane Stiverne – Wilder: “I think Deontay Wilder will knock out Tyson Fury, it’s just a matter of when he lands the right hand or the left hook and finishes him off. Wilder’s power saved him in the last round against Fury the first time, but I think that now that Fury has tasted Wilder’s power, I think that has to be in the back of his mind. Whether it’s the first or the last round, just like Fury was doing well in the first fight, I think it’s going to be a knockout for Wilder.”

Joseph Parker – Fury: “I have to side with Fury on Saturday. I like his boxing ability and what he can do in the ring as a big man, moving, jabbing, combinations. I just hope it’s a great fight again.”

Can someone help me out here, can I buy Fury Wilder on the sky go app and watch it without having a sky box/ account?

I did this for Klitschko/AJ but it doesn't seem clear if this is the case this time

Mrs D, my tech expert, says to call SKY and ask. It's what she has to do when we are away. Good luck. Me, myself, and I? I'll be out of town, so I'm catching it at a sports bar.

I found a sports bar showing it also die, if I can't just book online easily I'd rather spend $40 on a couple of beers and a burger and fries while I watch

Yeah, but if we're going to the same bar in Wellington, the Resident Sports Bar, then you'll need more than $40 to shout me beers!
