The bout goes down on February 22 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with tickets set to go on sale Saturday. As for the broadcast, it will be a joint pay-per-view (PPV) between ESPN and PBC partner FOX. Wilder had this to say on the rematch being made official.

“I’m happy and I’m excited that the rematch is finally happening,” said Wilder. “I want to give the fans what they want to see. I’ve been doing it with my last three outings — Fury, [Dominic] Breazeale and Ortiz. They’ve been spectacular events — from my ring walks where I gather all the energy of the people, to my uniforms that I wear to help spread that energy.

“Then I give them what they all come for — the knockouts, and my knockouts have been amazing. I proved myself the first time and I’m ready to do it again. It was a very controversial fight. I promise my fans that there won’t be any controversy with this one. I’m going to finish it.”

Wilder has successfully defended his title twice since his fight with Fury last year, downing both Dominic Breazeale and Luis Ortiz via knockout. As for Fury, he has also picked up two big wins, finishing German adversary Tom Schwartz before earning a grueling decision win over Otto Wallin. Fury also commented on the rematch being made official.

“There’s no more ducking and diving,” Fury said. “The date has been set, and the ‘Bomb Squad’ is about to be securely detonated and the real champion crowned as the world watches on for the most anticipated fight in years. This is unfinished business for me, but come Feb. 22, this dosser will finally get what’s coming to him, and I can’t wait.”

The pair initially met back in December of last year. It seemed as though Fury was winning the bout by outclassing the American, however, Wilder scored the only two knockdowns of the fight, the latter of which nearly ending things before Fury spectacularly got back to his feet and, arguably, won the round.

However, when it was all said and done, the judges turned in a Draw on the scorecards. Now, the boxing world will finally get the answer of who is the better heavyweight boxer between the pair.

However, an even bigger change could be coming soon. Recently, unified heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua spoke to Sky Sports and actually volunteered to join Fury’s camp for the Wilder rematch as a sparring partner. (H/T RT Sport)

“I think honestly he might beat Wilder next time,” Joshua said. “I think Fury would fight me quicker than Wilder would, so, if that’s the case, I want him to win. Imagine that fight on British soil. If Tyson needs me, I’ll go out and spar with him to get him ready for Wilder.”

It didn’t take Fury long to respond, taking to social media to accept Joshua’s offer if he’s serious about it. Fury also added that, once he beats Wilder, he’d love to fight Joshua next, which would likely be a massive showdown in the United Kingdom. (H/T BJPenn.com)

“I’ve just seen the video of Joshua on Sky Sport saying he’d love to come and help me in camp and that I’d fight him quicker than Wilder, that’s for sure,” Fury said. “When I beat Wilder I will fight you AJ, no problem.”

“I would love to have you in camp, really really love to have in camp, work out for this fight and give Deontay Wilder a proper beating. I hope you mean it because I’d love to have you in training camp with me. Thanks very much by the way and well done for your last fight. Congratulations.”

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was not pleased with the performances of Anthony Joshua or Andy Ruiz Jr. in their unified title rematch.

Joshua became a two-time unified heavyweight champion following his unanimous decision triumph over Ruiz on Saturday. It wasn’t as action-packed as the first fight but Joshua was able to get the job done by staying on the outside and jabbing his way to victory.

But that’s not how a heavyweight champion should perform according to Wilder:

“Joshua did what he had to do to get the win. He ran around the ring and was on his bike all day,” Wilder told The Athletic. “Basically, he had (former champion Wladimir) Klitschko in the camp and he was a lot like Klitschko: that jab-grab-hold method. That’s all he did tonight.

“You want to dominate guys, man! Maybe I’m just too rough, too hardcore and too much of a dream for this time and era, maybe the world wants that nice shit … my mentality is so different from these other fighters. But when I think of myself as a champion — as a champion! — you want to come out there and whoop his ass.

“I’m not coming in, after losing to this guy, to just dance and grab and jab and hold. I’m going to show the world and convince them I am the very best and that no one is close to me, especially with what’s going on in the division right now. It’s a time of proving who is the best.”

Wilder Criticizes Ruiz As Well

Ruiz didn’t escape criticism from Wilder either. “The Bronze Bomber” was hoping for Ruiz to win so that it would accelerate a potential title unification fight seeing as both fighters are under the PBC banner.

That’s not happening now as Wilder unloaded on Ruiz for his performance as well as post-fight comments that he wasn’t fully prepared:

“People say I have no skills, but my intellect is high enough to know if I’d been in a situation like (Ruiz) and something’s not working, you’ve got to change up my style,” he added. “I’m smart enough to know: Cut the fucking ring off.

“Once you cut the ring off, you put Joshua in a corner and you can have your way with him by hitting him the way you did the first time. To be in boxing that long and not know how to cut the ring off? If he knew, he didn’t do it, or he didn’t have the intellect. I’m a little upset with him.

“… Ruiz said he was doing great, not letting this moment get to him, but in the end you hear him saying he ate too much and should’ve trained harder … like, what the fuck? What do you mean you ate too much and could’ve trained harder?

“I take this shit seriously. I don’t know what their mentality is, but I didn’t become champion of the world just to say, ‘Put me in the record books. At least I can say I was a champion. They can never take that away from me!’ Fuck that shit! I’m here for legacy. Long live the king! That’s my mentality, and America should love a world champion like me.”

Do you agree with Wilder?
