Tyson Fury was in another warm-up fight last night in Belfast against Italy’s Francesco Pianeta.
With all due respect to Pianeta, people weren’t talking about his fight against Fury. The 6ft 9 King of the gypsies won his bout with ease.
The WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder flew into Belfast to “watch” the fight from the front row and greeted Fury afterwards.
Promoter Frank Warren announced simply that “it’s on” and both men agreed with the super fight scheduled to take place in 2018.
