Wilder-Fury Is On
The first ever public encounter by these two men occurred back in January 2016, when both went nose to nose with each other and engaged in banter that wouldn’t hold a candle to what their future press tour would turn into.
That moment between WBC heavyweight champion of the world Deontay Wilder and his challenger on Saturday night Tyson Fury set the stage for Friday afternoon’s weigh-in.
To the disappointment of a loud and hyped up audience in attendance in Los Angeles, there was no nose to nose encounter between the two, as both men were separated from each other during the face-off after a brawl nearly erupted earlier in the week at the final press conference.
Wilder — who walked onto the stage for the ceremonial weigh-in with a black mask covering much of his face — was stoic and locked in on his target, a sign that the time for talk was over.
Fury — who’s fighting for the first time in America on Saturday — mocked and yelled colorful language at Wilder, imploring him to take off the mask he was wearing.
Wilder weighed in at a light 212 pounds for the fight while his opponent, Englishman Tyson Fury weighed in at 256 pounds.
