Wilder vs Fury 2 Fight date, venue and everything else you need to know

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury have already been in the ring together once and are set to do it all again in one of the most widely-anticipated rematches in recent heavyweight memory.
The WBC heavyweight world title will be on the line once again after the split-decision draw in the first contest saw Wilder walk away with the belt that he has now held for almost five years.
But Fury is the first man to have faced him and not lost in the professional ranks and will be looking to go one better and beat him this time around to take him back to the top of heavyweight boxing for the first time since he beat Wladimir Klitschko back in 2015.

Most champions will have an immediate rematch clause built into any contract for a fight, enabling them to regain their title in case of an upset. It was this such clause that allowed Anthony Joshua to get straight back in the ring with Andy Ruiz Jr and regain his three heavyweight belts last Saturday.
It is understood that, unusually, both fighters had a rematch clause in their contracts, meaning that a decisive result would have resulted in an immediate re-run.
But even with the tied result back in December last year, the fight that saw Fury twice get up off the canvas was such an instant classic that there was little doubt the pair would meet again. Wilder Fury 3 live stream
