Deontay Wilder Massive Favourite To Defeat Breazeale
Published on May 14th, 2019 11:32 am ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel
There is a great deal on the line for Deontay Wilder when he steps into the ring at Barclays Center on Saturday night. Both Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are having tune-up fights over the next month or so, and the idea seems to be that the two will have a rematch in late 2019 or 2020.
Not only is there a great deal of money in the Wilder/Fury rematch, but the winner will also likely get the opportunity to square off against Anthony Joshua for the Heavyweight title.
That is two big money fights that are on the line, though only if Wilder and Fury can get past their next opponents. Nothing is certain in the world of boxing, and a shock defeat would cost either fighter millions and millions of dollars.
The good news for Wilder and his supporters is that he is seen as the clear favourite to defeat Dominic Breazeale on Saturday night.

Deontay Wilder has a professional record of 40-0-1, with the lone blemish on his record a draw against Tyson Fury (though most think that Wilder lost that fight).
Wilder has tremendous knockout power and will be looking to turn out Breazeale's lights early.
Breazeale, on the other hand, has a lifetime record of 20-1-0, with his lone loss coming against Anthony Joshua in June of 2016.
With that being said, Wilder has faced a much higher level of competition over the course of his career and will have the clear advantage heading into this fight.
