I wouldn’t miss this. Finally a legit single world heavyweight champion!
Joshua doesn’t count. He’s ducking everyone.

So I am an Mma fan who came from boxing. Big mma fan but boxing is and probably always will be number 1 for me. But I can appreciate those weekends where there are big fights for both sports. Anyways, Fury-Wilder is coming up.....And its gonna be big.
In one corner you have 1 of the 2 new heavyweight destroyers (the other being Anthony Joshua). WBC Heavyweight Champion, Deontay Wilder who has the kind of power that an MMA fighter can only dream of. The scary concussive power. Same line as Tommy Hearns, George Foreman etc. He is coming off the biggest win of his career vs the highly rated Luis "King Kong" Ortiz (seen in this video here) (Video includes the biggest hw fights of the yr, including AJ-Klits, Whyte-Chisora, Bellew-Haye etc
In the other corner you have Tyson Fury. The Giant Madman of Heavyweight boxing. There are plenty of people in the boxing world (myself included) who still believe that this guy is the true heavyweight champion, and nobody is going to be able to claim they are the champion until they have beaten him. 6 foot 9. On the third fight of his comeback after having his title stripped, legitimate boxing skills, footwook, movement, etc.
Its gonna be incredible incredible stuff......And waiting for the winner to unify all the belts....
I am excited people. Mma has been on such a downturn for so long, its great that the Heavyweight Division in boxing is back. AJ, Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Ortiz, Parker, Chisora, etc.
You were at Cotto vs Canelo live? That's awesome dude!! I've never been to a big event live, I'm just basing my opinion on watching it live on TV, lol, I'm sure it's far more amazing actually being in the arena (aside from having a way shittier view of the fight anyway, haha)
Haha normally I'd agree but I somehow got ringside seats. Literally 3rd row from the ring. Evander Holyfield was seated one row behind me to my right. So I figured I had gotten some sweet seats. Especially since I got to go for free lol.
That whole weekend felt special and that event itself had a very unique atmosphere.
But to be fair Conor vs Aldo n especially Conor vs Mendes (the crowd was legit 85% Irish) were insane as well. Such diff vibes than most ufc's.
I've been fortunate that I've managed to go to like 10-12 live events but that boxing one will hold a special place in my heart.
