Fury and Wilder have already competed against each other twice, with the first meeting ending in a draw in 2018 and the other ending with the Gypsy King coming out on top in 2020, scoring two knockdowns himself en route to a seventh-round stoppage after Wilder’s cornerman, Mark Breland, threw in the towel.
