The rematch is now official. ESPN reports that the highly-anticipated rematch between WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury has been confirmed by both Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions today (Fri. December 27, 2019).

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.

Tyson Fury has already made some big changes to his camp as he prepares to rematch Deontay Wiler in February.

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.”

Daniel Cormier: Stipe Miocic ‘Misguided’ In Attempts To Land Tyson Fury Fight

Stipe Miocic is trying to give Daniel Cormier a taste of his own medicine. Last year, Cormier won the UFC heavyweight title from Miocic with a first-round knockout finish.

Stipe Miocic is trying to give Daniel Cormier a taste of his own medicine.

Last year, Cormier won the UFC heavyweight title from Miocic with a first-round knockout finish. However, instead of giving Miocic – the winningest heavyweight champion in UFC history – an immediate rematch, Cormier saught a fight with WWE star and ex-UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar. Cormier and Lesnar even had a staredown and shoving match inside the Octagon.

When that fight didn’t materialize right away, Cormier kept busy with a heavyweight title defense over Derrick Lewis, submitting “The Black Beast” inside Madison Square Garden. Cormier promised that, should a fight with Lesnar not happen, he’d grant Miocic a rematch. And so he did.

This time around, however, it was Miocic who stood tall when the dust settled, reclaiming the heavyweight throne with a knockout win of his own. Now, Cormier is calling for a trilogy fight, which will ultimately be the final bout of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career – win or lose. However, now Miocic is trying for a fight with boxing lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, willing to put his trilogy with Cormier on ice, essentially paying “DC” back for the Lesnar drama.

Dana White

Speaking to MMA Junkie, Cormier explains why Miocic’s attempts are “misguided,” and the situation compared to Cormier’s desire to fight Lesnar, is completely different.

“After all that was done last year when I was going to fight Brock Lesnar and I said, ‘I’ll wait for Lesnar, and if Lesnar can’t go I’ll fight Stipe’,” Cormier told MMA Junkie. “I think it’s kind of the same thing (with him trying to fight Tyson Fury). But reality is, it’s vastly different. I think it’s misguided.

“I had Lesnar in my face. He came into the octagon and all that. I’ve got to be honest with you: The moment they said Brock can’t fight, I said, ‘Then let’s give Stipe his fight.’ The moment they said it, I said, ‘OK, find a date for Stipe and I to fight. He deserves his rematch.’

“I think the idea of the way things happened may have been a little bit misunderstood, but it went exactly as I said. From the moment of the fight I said, ‘If Brock doesn’t fight, I’ll fight Stipe.’ When they said, ‘No Brock.’ I said, ‘OK, let’s do Stipe.’”

UFC president Dana White has since suggested both Miocic and Cormier have verbally agreed to a trilogy bout in 2020. However, with Miocic dealing with an injury and no timetable in sight for his recovery, fight fans might have to wait some time for the next heavyweight title defense.

Do you agree with Cormier’s comments on Miocic’s aspirations to fight Fury?
