One of the biggest heavyweight title fights in recent memory is going down Saturday night in Los Angeles as WBC champion Deontay Wilder puts his title on the line against lineal heavyweight king Tyson Fury. Boxing's elite and royalty will descend upon Staples Center on Saturday night (9 p.m. ET, Showtime PPV) for the massive bout. If you love heavyweight boxing like we do, you cannot wait for this massive showdown.
The fight represents arguably the biggest heavyweight showdown on U.S. soil since Lennox Lewis squared off with Mike Tyson, and could help bring more clarity to the always crowded list of champions. But first, one must emerge victorious on Saturday night. Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) is coming off of a thunderous knockout win over Luis Ortiz in March where he was truly challenged for the first time in his career. After scoring an early knockdown, the champion seemed to be dazed after a series of blows from Ortiz. But Wilder rallied to drop Ortiz in the 10th round and score the knockout win.
Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) is coming off a pair of decision wins over Francesco Pianeta and Sefer Seferi in his first action since taking a hiatus following a decision win over then unified heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko. CBS Sports is providing a guide of all events taking place, plus our feature content, all in one place.
