Tonight (Sat., December 1, 2018) Deontay Wilder meets Tyson Fury in one of the heavyweight division’s best match-ups of the year from Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. LowKick MMA has all of the info on how to watch the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury live stream, start times, round-by-round results, and highlights for the fight.

The explosive personalities of both fighters were at their heights during yesterday’s iconic weigh-ins. They should be, as some incredibly high stakes are on the line. The undefeated star Wilder brings a glaring 40-0 record into the fight including 39 KOs. He’s defended the WBC heavyweight title seven times as a result of that power. Wilder isn’t at the top of the pay-per-view world, just yet. But he’s coming off a huge come-from-behind knockout of Luis Ortiz in SHOWTIME’s most-watched fight of 2018.

“The Gypsy King,” meanwhile, is the enigmatic, outspoken presence looking to reassume his throne. He became the lineal champion by defeating Wladimir Klitschko in late 2015. Fury then gained over 100 pounds battling depression and substance abuse issues. He’s fought hard to return from those issues. Fury picked up two wins in 2018. Some still wonder if it is too soon for him to take on Wilder, however.

It’s happening regardless. The fight is also both men’s debut on U.S. pay-per-view. That means it marks an interesting chance to see if either fighter can begin drawing an audience on pay television in the States. It also could decide the next contender to Anthony Joshua’s three titles next year. That paired with Wilder and Fury’s ferocious collective knockout power gives this bout all the makings of an exciting one. Here’s all you need to know to watch the card (info via Bloody Elbow).

One of boxing’s most awaited heavyweight title fights in years goes down tonight (Sat., December 1, 2018) when Deontay Wilder meets Tyson Fury at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

It’s not exactly a typical heavyweight title fight. The 40-0 Wilder has defended his WBC heavyweight belt seven times, while 27-0 lineal champion Fury was out all of 2016 and 2017 recovering from mental health issues. ‘The Gypsy King’ has since returned with two wins this year. Wilder has 39 knockouts and Fury 19, promising that this fight will be one of the most explosive of the year.

And the headliners will be paid as such. According to salaries from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) obtained by ESPN’s Dan Rafael, Wilder will bank $4 million for the fight while Fury will make $3 million.

WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder and lineal champ Tyson Fury met face-to-face (kind of) at today’s weigh-ins for their anticipated title fight from Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, tomorrow night.

A heavy amount of bad blood perpetrated by the trash-talking Fury has preceded the huge bout. The brash Gypsy pugilist continued his outspoken ways by arriving to weigh-ins whilst standing out of his sunroof.

He weighed in at 256 pounds. Wilder, meanwhile, was a much more svelte 212.5 pounds. The bad blood reached a head when the two met for their final faceoff. They were forced to stand quite far apart, making the staredown somewhat anticlimactic as a result.
