Updates from the WBC title fight in Las VegasSeven moments that defined their first boutBehind the scenes at Fury’s training campEmail Bryan or tweet @bryanagraham 2.00am GMT Hello and welcome to the Las Vegas strip for tonight’s hotly anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight championship. We’re ringside at the MGM Grand Garden Arena where a capacity crowd of 17,000 is expected for a delicious matchup between two undefeated giants with 71 professional wins between them, the two best fighters today in boxing’s prestige division, that’s been called the most important heavyweight title fight since the return meeting between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield in 1999.Tonight’s main event is a rematch of their epic split draw 15 months ago in downtown Los Angeles, where the 6ft 9in Fury spent most of the night racking up points and using every trick in the book to negate Wilder’s show-stopping right hand. The American finally broke through with a knockdown in the ninth round and an even heavier one in the 12th, which left Fury seemingly unconscious on the way down, but the Gypsy King somehow made it to his feet and to the final bell, where the ringside judges handed down the stalemate. Mexico’s Alejandro Rochin scored it 115-111 to Wilder, Canada’s Robert Tapper had it 114-112 for Fury and Phil Edwards of the United Kingdom called it even at 113-113.
