Fury’s best chance of victory against Deontay Wilder is to do what Ali did better than anyone: dance
Tyson Fury says his rematch with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday night is the biggest fight in 50 years. One of his promoters, the octogenarian Bob Arum, compares it to “The Fight Of The Century”, between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden in 1971. If hyperbole were manure, the garden of boxing would flower forever. Amnesia helps to water it.
If we’re looking for comparisons, we need to go back a few years beyond that crazy night in New York in 1971.
