Fury-fever sweeping the nation as heavyweight fight edges closer - (2026)

Updated: 25/02/2026

Could Fury pull off the upset and win back the belt?

The big fight moves ever closer as Tyson Fury takes on Deontay Wilder for the WBC Heavyweight championship this weekend.

Wilder at 4/6 may be the favourite to win on home turf.

But in spite of this only being Fury’s second- ever bout across the pond, he’s being backed at 5/4 to cause an upset.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Despite being the outsider in the fight betting, it has been all one-way traffic for Tyson Fury.”

He added: “Punters are convinced he is going to upset the odds once again and win a world heavyweight title for the second time in his career.”

Fury will be coming to reclaim what he feels is his WBC belt, which should set this up to be a real humdinger at the Staples Center.
