Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) will defend his WBC and The Ring magazine titles on Saturday against Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The fight will be broadcasted via a joint pay-per-view from FOX Sports and ESPN.
Fury, who won his titles during his second fight against Wilder in February 2020, is making his first defense of his belts. He and Wilder were scheduled to fight in July, though the bout was postponed after Fury and members of his camp tested positive for COVID-19.

The winner of Saturday’s fight could move on to a unification bout with WBA (super), WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, who defeated former champion Anthony Joshua on Sept. 25.
