Fury and Wilder last fought on Feb. 22, 2020, when Fury won by TKO to capture the WBC heavyweight title. That fight came nearly 15 months after the pair fought to a split decision on Dec. 1, 2018.

Neither Wilder nor Fury has fought since their bout more than a year ago. The fight was Wilder's only loss of his career. Fury remains unbeaten.

The fight will be broadcast on ESPN+.
