Fury and Wilder are both hoping that a victory will put them in position to challenge Anthony Joshua in a lucrative fight to unify the world heavyweight belts at some point in 2019.

Wilder, who has ended 39 of his 40 professional bouts inside the distance, has held the WBC world heavyweight title since defeating Haitian-Canadian veteran Bermane Stiverne in 2015.

Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) claimed the other three major heavyweight belts with a shock unanimous decision win over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, but vacated his titles 11 months later and spent more than two years out of the ring due to a prolonged legal battle with UK Anti-Doping, as well as issues with substance abuse and depression.

The fight will be broadcast live on Showtime PPV in the US and BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
