The heavyweight action returns to the ring later tonight (Sat., Sept. 14, 2019) live on ESPN+ from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (28-0-1, 20 KOs) puts his title and undefeated record on the line against Swedish contender Otto Wallin (20-0-1 NC, 13 KOs).
This will be Fury’s second appearance since fighting fellow undefeated heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder to a draw last December. “Gypsy King” signed an exclusive five-fight deal with ESPN and Top Rank Boxing earlier this year and ended up sparking German fighter Tom Schwarz via technical knockout in his first fight back in June. Fury will try to continue his dominance later tonight opposite Wallin.
While Wallin seems outmatched in size and skill for this heavyweight title fight the main event remains a must watch. In order for the massive rematch between Fury and Wilder to take place early next year the towering Englishman must retain his undefeated record heading into 2020. That’s what makes Fury’s every move inside of the ring worth watching.
But when exactly can ESPN+ subscribers expect “Gypsy King” and “All In” to step inside of the boxing ring for their main event fight?
Boxing is always tricky to time given the lengthy in-event promotions and introductions, but Fury and Wallin should begin their respective walks to the ring sometime around 12 a.m. ET (subject to change so keep it tuned into Mania for any updates). That will be right after a junior featherweight battle between Emanuel Navarrete and Juan Miguel Elorde sparks off the ESPN+ main card at 11 p.m. ET.
