After months of failed talks and negotiations between the camps of Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, the American star has finally found an opponent in Tyson Fury.The duo are set to go head-to-head at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 1, with the WBC world heavyweight title on the line.They started their three-day long media tour this week, kicking it off in London on Monday then stopping at New York a day later and ultimately ended at Los Angeles on Wednesday.Supporters of both fighters turned up in huge numbers at all three venues, witnessing the verbal antics and animosity shared between the pair.Two giants of the heavyweight division engaging in duels on stage which nearly led to clashes near the conclusion of the tour, but, nonetheless, the ground work has been laid for a sensational showdown in just over 50-days' time.However, a particular photo of Wilder and Fury sitting alongside each other on a sofa has gone viral since the New York conference, as many speculating the hostility between the two boxers are entirely gimmicks with the sole purpose of promoting the upcoming event.But, the video footage from Fury’s promoter Frank Warren completely debunked the belief and revealed the reality to the boxing faithful.The clip was recorded backstage during a preview of ESPN when the Bronze Bomber as well as the Gypsy King were asked to sit together.Warren took to social media and disclosed what actually transpired at that moment of time.

The 66-year-old posted the video on Twitter and captioned it saying: “@Tyson_Fury had spent approximately 2 minutes singing into Deontay Wilder’s face as the pair were asked to sit together by ESPN for a backstage preview... Wilder was unimpressed... *cue awkward segment*”

Speaking about the fight, Wilder said: “This fight means everything to the heavyweight division. This division was once in a dark place.

“A lot of people considered the division boring and not entertaining and not enough great fighters. You know, people always look back at the past and say, ‘Where are the golden days? Where has it gone?’

“And now today’s era is different… We’ve brought the sport back to life in the heavyweight division.”

Fury added: “You already know you’ve lost the fight. You’re very nervous right now because all the pressure is on you.”

The Manchester-based boxer is geared up to regain his lost glory as he makes a comeback after a three-year long wait and securing back-to-back wins this summer, both in UK.

Meanwhile, Wilder is determined to knock out the Brit for the first time in his pro career and successfully defend his WBC world title before Christmas, with the Anthony Joshua bout likely in April 2019.
