The biggest heavyweight title fight in recent memory goes down this Saturday, February 22, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2 is a boxing fan's dream.
In Wilder (43-0-1) you have the hardest hitting heavyweight since Mike Tyson. While Fury (29-0-1) is a good boxer that's hard to hit and is as fleet footed as any 6'9", 254 pound man can possibly be.
Their first fight in 2018 ended in a draw. Fury seemed to have the edge going into the 12th, but got caught with a beautiful right hand and left hook combination from Wilder that put him on the canvas for the second time in the fight.
Almost everyone in the arena and watching at home thought it was over for Fury at that point, but he rose from the dead like The Undertaker to finish the round.
Saturday's action kicks off with coverage beginning with a preshow at 7 p.m. ET followed by the undercard at 7:30 p.m. ET. The pay-per-view main card is set to begin at 9 p.m. ET. Expect Fury and Wilder to make their ring walks for the main event between 11 p.m. and midnight.
The pre-show and preliminary bouts are available on ESPN News and Fox Sports 1. At 8 p.m. ET, the undercard continue on ESPN and FS1.
The Wilder vs. Fury 2 main card is an ESPN+/Fox joint pay-per-view. It can be live streamed through the Fox Sports app and ESPN+. The pay-per-view price is $79.99.

A man from South Florida told investigators he went on a sledgehammer rampage to kill demons.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office arrested 32-year-old Rafael Suarez Gomez of Hialeah Gardens, on Sunday afternoon.
The window installer faces seven counts of property damage, burglary and resisting arrest.
The sheriff's office said it took a bunch of calls about a man using a sledgehammer to destroy property on Little Torch Key.
Deputies caught up with Gomez and needed a Taser to get him into handcuffs.
The damage report included four vehicles, a camper, at least seven sliding doors, two hurricane French doors, seven windows, four mirrors, a microwave oven and three televisions. That's not counting the multiple holes in the walls at numerous properties.
Gomez said he had been drinking all day and someone gave him an unknown hallucinogenic drug. After taking the drug, he said he started seeing demons who ordered him to damage the property. He said he grabbed the sledgehammer to get rid of them.

You'd think NOT carrying a loaded gun at an airport checkpoint would be a no-brainer ... but it's a lesson rapper Gorilla Zoe has learned the hard way, at least according to cops.
A spokesperson for Miami-Dade Police tells TMZ ... cops responded to a checkpoint at Miami International Airport around 11 PM Monday night where a TSA supervisor told them the rapper tried entering a checkpoint with a loaded .380 caliber pistol in his carry-on.
We're told it didn't take long for cops to secure the firearm and arrest Zoe for carrying a concealed weapon. Now, he does have a concealed carry permit, but cops say it's suspended.
He was booked at Miami-Dade jail, and released around 5 AM after posting $500 bond.
On the plus side -- Zoe did not play the "don't you know who I am?" card ... like cops say he did during a domestic violence arrest in Florida last November. Those charges were ultimately dropped after his GF wouldn't cooperate with prosecutors.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man is accused of forcing a woman watch the nine-hour miniseries “Roots,” threatening her and telling her the episodic drama would make her better understand her racism.
Robert Noye, 52, is charged in Cedar Rapids with harassment and false imprisonment. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.
The Gazette reported that the woman told police that Noye made her sit with him to watch the miniseries. It was based on author Alex Haley’s family history, from the capture and enslavement of his ancestor Kunta Kinte in Africa to the liberation of Kinte’s descendants.
When she tried to move, the woman said, Noye told her to remain seated or he would “kill her and spread her body parts” across the interstate.
BATON ROUGE - The recent production of a music video featuring local rapper, NBA YoungBoy caused some concern when the artist was spotted handling objects that appeared to be weapons during the shooting of the video.
But YoungBoy wasn't the only one handling the questionable items during the filming.
The 20-year-old rapper, who has served jail time for attempted murder, assault, and weapons violations, was shooting a video in Baton Rouge alongside his 17-year-old relative, Jeffery Tate. During the filming, Tate was also handling items that appeared to be weapons.
Tate happens to be one of three teens authorities have recently tied to the murder of a 17-year-old who was shot while walking home in December of 2019.
WBRZ asked East Baton Rouge District Attorney, Hillar Moore whether it was admissible for YoungBoy, a convicted felon, and Tate, a suspect in a murder, to use objects that appeared to be weapons in the recent music video.
Moore's response was, "Nothing will be done to Tate because he is not a convicted felon, nor is he under bond obligation."
But, YoungBoy's case may be different.
As a convicted felon, the rapper may face charges for possession of a firearm.

(CNN) A Milwaukee woman and her two daughters, who went missing earlier this month, were found dead in a garage Sunday, authorities said.
An Amber Alert was issued Thursday for Amarah Banks, 26, and her daughters Zaniya Ivery, 5, and Camaria Banks, 4, after Banks was reported missing by her family on February 9.
All three were found dead Sunday. Autopsies are scheduled for Monday, the Milwaukee Medical Examiner said on Twitter Sunday.
Arzel Ivery, Banks' boyfriend gave police investigators information that led them to the Milwaukee garage where Banks and her daughters were found, Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales said during a news conference.
Ivery, 25, is being held in Memphis on a charge of fugitive from justice without a warrant, according to Shelby County Jail records. He has not been charged in connection with the deaths, Morales said.
Ivery appeared before a judge Monday, where he waived an extradition hearing. He'll return to Wisconsin to face an aggravated battery charge.
The Memphis Police Department called Milwaukee police Saturday to tell them that they had been in contact with Ivery, Morales said.
It is unclear if Ivery has legal representation at this time.
Banks and her children were last seen on February 8, Milwaukee police said.
Banks' mother, Valeria Spinner-Banks, told CNN affiliate WITI that she last saw her daughter the day before, after the funeral for Banks' 1-year-old son Arzel. Banks' sister dropped her off at her apartment after the funeral, Spinner-Banks told the station.
"She's just the kind of person that's very consistent," Spinner-Banks said. "For her not to get in contact with us, and not to let us know that something is wrong."

Damon Dash says his ex-wife, Rachel Roy, has been hiding stacks of cash that are rightfully his -- the fruits of her fashion company's labors -- so he's suing her for fraud.
Dame is pissed off about the Rachel Roy Brands of clothes -- which include several lines Rachel sells in Bloomingdales and similar department stores. In his suit, he says the company is FLUSH ... earning profits in the millions each year. His issue is his cut of that pie.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Dame claims Rachel conspired with several other companies involved in keeping RRB afloat ... to hide the amount of money that was due to go in Dame's pockets.
He's pretty colorful and complete with his allegations, claiming they "manipulated, diverted, misappropriated, transferred, concealed and embezzled funds."
Rachel and co. allegedly submitted fraudulent accounting, withheld payments, and undervalued Damon's share of RRB. Dame says he was an original member of Rachel's company when she formed it in 2008 -- they were still married then -- and as such he's entitled to royalties.
Far as Dame can tell, the alleged shell game with his money started in 2014 when a royalty payment of $175,000 was withheld. He claims that happened again in 2015 with a $200,000 check.
In the suit, Damon says he had a verbal agreement with Rachel that she would re-purchase his interest in RRB for $1 million -- but she reneged with no explanation.
He's not only suing Rachel, her companies and more than a handful of others -- accountants, lawyers and such -- he claims conspired against him.
As for how much? Dame says they need to open up the books, so he can see exactly what he's owed.

A man is in jail after a ruckus at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in which he swung at a police officer and allegedly shoved and punched an American Airlines customer service agent.
The incident took place Thursday at the airport’s Terminal B, KXAS-TV (NBC5) reported.
Jerome Toson Jr. was booked into Tarrant County Jail on eight charges, including assault of a peace officer and resisting arrest. Bail has been set at $32,500.
Toson had just arrived from Orlando and was asked to extinguish a cigarette he was smoking at a customer service counter, NBC5 reported. Instead, he dropped it into a cup of water, then reportedly poured the water on the employees’ computers.
“When I came up he was yelling at the agents,” John Huston of Grapevine told NBC5. “He was throwing water all over him.”
Officers ultimately responded to a call of a man shoving, punching and pulling the hair of an American Airlines customer service agent, and the situation escalated once they arrived, the news station said.
Video footage of the incident captured by a passenger showed the suspect swinging at an officer in front of shocked onlookers after another officer fired his stun gun at the man.
The man then wrestled officers and reportedly reached for one officer’s gun as several passengers joined efforts to subdue him.
Larry Lazar of St. Louis was among those who jumped in to help hold Toson down.
“I don’t know what anyone else would have done,” Lazar said. “I had to. Number one, the gun would have been aimed at me as well as the other people.”
Airport police declined to comment, but Lazar praised how officers handled the situation.
“I thought the agents did an amazing job,” he said.
Huston said of Toson: “I don’t think he was thinking clearly. He obviously made a very poor choice and I have a feeling he’s going to face some pretty dire consequences.”
