In December of 2018, Tyson Fury, who has fought a lot of battles in and outside of the ring, was defeated by Deontay Wilder. Wilder retained the WBC title (for his 8th time), and both fighters left the ring with a hefty paycheck.
Despite the fight that was talked about for weeks after the final bell rang, Fury left feeling that he was the true winner (and some of his die hard fans might agree). While there has been talk of a rematch with Wilder, which some sources predict early next year, Fury is slated to face Tom Schwarz on June 15 in Las Vegas.
