By: Subhaan
On the 1st of December, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder both clashed and had a pretty tight fight. After the fight Fury remarked to the Daily Mirror “I had fun, if that’s hell it’s not a very scary place”. The unbeaten “Traveller”, who is 27-0-1, wants to keep busy and says training keeps him physically and mentally fit.
Deontay Wilder, who is a professional American boxer, decided to fight Fury since they were both undefeated and Fury had just made comeback losing 18 pounds. Deontay Wilder on the other hand wanted to fight the heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and they were planning this big fight since April.
