Deontay Wilder takes on Tyson Fury in a eagerly anticipated rematch after the first fight, which took place in December 2018, ended in a split-decision draw.

The fight will take place on February 22 2020 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. As with all Las Vegas fights, we expect it to start between 4am and 5am GMT.

The undercard has some familiar names including Charles Martin, Gerald Washington and Fury's stablemate Isaac Lowe.

The undercard

Charles Martin vs Gerald Washington (Heavyweight)

Martin is familiar to British fans as the man who was crushingly beaten by Anthony Joshua to win his first world title back in 2016. He faces Gerald Washington, who challenged for the WBC heavyweight title in 2017, losing to a certain Deontay Wilder in the fifth round.

This is one of the two standout fights on the undercard.

Emanuel Navarrete vs Jeo Santisima (Super-Bantamweight)

This contest is for the WBO world super-bantamweight title, making it a huge occasion for the undercard. Navarrete is the champion, and has been since 2018 including two wins over Isaac Dogboe. He faces Joe Santisima, a Filipino boxer making his Las Vegas debut.

Navarrete is a massive favourite to retain his world title but Santisima has a credible record, albeit not against the calibre of fighter that his opponent will be this weekend.

Sebastian Fundora vs Daniel Lewis (Super-Welterweight)

Two unbeaten fighters go head to head in one of the most intriguing fights of the evening. Both fighters are still in the early stages of their career. The thing to look out for in this fight is that Fundora is 6ft 5½in while fighting at 154lbs. A remarkable specimen for the Super-Welterweight division. In contrast, Lewis stands at 5ft 10in, which will make this fight an interesting spectacle at the very least.

Isaac Lowe vs Alberto Guevara (Featherweight)

Those who have watched Tyson Fury closely in recent years will have noticed Isaac Lowe, the featherweight who trains with Fury and joins him on his training camps. The 26-year-old has won 19 of his 22 fights, drawing the other three. He faces Mexican Alberto Guevara in Las Vegas.

The undercard in full:

Charles Martin vs Gerald Washington (Heavyweight)

Emanuel Navarrete vs Jeo Santisima (Super-Bantamweight)

Sebastian Fundora vs Daniel Lewis (Super-Welterweight)
