If both of the fighters in Saturday’s title fight were definitely at their physical peak, in their best possible fighting condition, and both knew it, there’s no way the bout takes place.

In a match-up where bothTyson Fury and Deontay Wilder were each at their physical peak, Wilder’s team would never let the Bronze Bomber in the ring because it would be disastrous. Fury is clearly the superior fighter at his best, despite the nerve and recovery shown byWilder recovering to beat Luis Ortiz.
