A heavyweight boxing match between undefeated fighters Tyson Fury (27-0-1) and Tom Schwarz (24-0) took place this evening at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The bout marked Fury’s first appearance since fighting reigning WBC title holder Deontay Wilder to a draw this past December in Los Angeles.
Many thought that the former IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO lineal heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, did enough to deserve a win over Wilder on December 1. With that said, a rematch between the pair is highly sought after.
As for ‘The Gypsy King’s’ opponent, Tom Schwarz entered tonight’s main event sporting a perfect professional record of 24-0. The German heavyweight champion, Schwarz, entered tonight’s contest with Fury a +1000 underdog.
