Tyson Fury v Otto Wallin weigh-in

The heavyweight division in boxing is fairly stacked these days, with another big fight seemingly always just around the corner.

This weekend sees the mercurial Tyson Fury take on heavy underdog Otto Wallin in Las Vegas as Fury continues his comeback to the sport.

Fury has previous in Sin City, having previously knocked out Tom Schwartz in June of this year.

Wallin goes in to the fight as a huge underdog, but boasts an impressive 20 wins from 21 fights (1 no contest) with 13 KOs, and is ranked number 4 by the WBA in their heavyweight rankings.

We have seen a British heavyweight succumb to a shock loss in recent history, but Fury has insisted that he “won’t underestimate anybody” ahead of the fight.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the heavyweight bout.

When is the fight?

The fight is billed as Saturday, September 14 but UK viewers will have to stay up or set alarms for the early hours of Sunday morning, with the ring walks not expected until approximately 4am.

How can I watch it?

BT Sport will be showing the fight on BT Sport Box Office, with the fight available for purchase for £19.95 on BT TV, Virgin TV and Sky TV.

You can also purchase the fight on BT’s website and live stream the fight on mobile or PC.

Their coverage of the fight begins at 2am.

What are the odds?

  • Fury 1/33
  • Draw 50/1
  • Wallin 16/1

Our Prediction

Despite Wallin’s stellar record and ranking, he is not expected to pull up any trees as the Swede lacks experience at the peak of the division. Fury is unlikely to toy with a lesser opponent - he knocked out Schwartz in round 2 - so this fight should be over inside the first five rounds.

Who’s on the undercard?

  • Emanuel Navarrete vs Juan Miguel Elorde
  • Jose Pedraza vs Jose Zepeda
  • Isaac Lowe vs Ruben Garcia Hernandez
  • Felix Valera vs Vyascheslav Shabranskyy
  • Carlos Cuadras vs Jose Maria Cardenas
  • Gabriel Flores Jr vs Miguel Angel Perez Aispuro
  • Isidro Ochoa vs Iskander Kharsan
  • Guido Vianello vs Cassius Anderson
  • Abram Martinez vs Kevin Johnson

Round one: Fury 10-9 Wallin

Fury is keeping Wallin at bay with his long jab, at one point Wallin managed to get through to the chest of Fury and he felt it. The Swede is showing no signs of being intimidated, he's boxed and sparred plenty of top fighters.

Fury's jab wins him the round, but not much in it for either man.

Just in case you wondered, Wallin is already 10x better than Schwarz ever was. Let's see how that develops as the fight goes on...

Round two: Fury 20-18 Wallin

Both men landed some nice shots in that round, I'd give it to Fury because he was just more active with the jab, although Wallin threw a lot too.

Fury is now aware of the threat Wallin poses, smiling every time he's hit to the body and chest. It's what he would have wanted, to get some rounds in. At this rate, it looks like that might just happen.

Round three: Fury 30-27 Wallin

Tyson Fury has a big cut to the corner of his right eye, which could cause some issues. Wow, it is a deep one and it was caused by a punch.

The third goes to Fury, who popped the jab out nicely.

Round four: Fury 39-37 Wallin

Wallin is targeting the eye, and Fury is wiping it constantly because it's disrupting him. If Fury doesn't get him out of there then he could be pulled out. I'll give the Swede that round.

This just got interesting.

Round five: Fury 49-46 Wallin

Neither man landed much clearly in that round but Fury managed to get the jab going in the early stages, so he nicks that one.

Cut is clearly bothering him, he's blinking loads.

Round six: Fury 59-55 Wallin

Fury realises he is in trouble. The referee stopped the fight midway through the sixth to let the doctor have a look at the eye. He allows it to continue and Fury comes out with a big combination.

The cut is really, really bad. He still wins the round.
