- Heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, who will clash in a highly-anticipated rematch on Saturday, won’t be able to faceoff after Friday’s weigh-in, a Top Rank Boxing official said. The Nevada State Athletic Commission will not allow the fighters to stand toe-to-toe as is customary after a weigh-in, Top Rank media relations director Evan Korn said on Thursday.The news comes one day after the two undefeated fighters shoved each other on stage at the outset of a news conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where the fight will be held.
After exchanging shoves, the two shouted insults in each other’s faces at a news conference that had a more hostile tone than previous ones leading up to the fight.Britain’s lineal heavyweight champion Fury will bid to take the WBC heavyweight belt from American Wilder . The fight is a rematch of their December 2018 battle, which ended in a controversial split-decision draw.
