Neither have been in the ring since Fury-Wilder II, which broke ticket sale records set by Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield II. Their February rematch generated $16.9 million in ticket revenue and about 1.2 million pay-per-view buys in the U.S.
Fury has repeatedly assured fans that he will “smash” Wilder to bits. Wilder recently admitted that the delayed fight has helped him with his game plan for the trilogy.
The fight will be aired on FIGHT SPORTS MAX in over 50 countries. It is available on pay-per-view in the U.S.
