While it's still not set in stone, it looks like Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are very close to confirming their world heavyweight title rematch.

Wilder most recently defeated Luis Ortiz in the seventh round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night to keep the heavyweight title scene on fire.

At their last meeting, the 'Bronze Bomber' hosted Fury in the States back in December 2018, and came out with a controversial draw after an incredible 12-round match-up. 

According to talkSPORT, the 'Gypsy King' already confirmed back in July that he had a contract sorted for the rematch on February 22, with Wilder hoping to face the winner of Andy Ruiz Jr v Anthony Joshua to unify the titles later on in the year.

Since then, Wilder's co-manager Shelly Finkel has confirmed that a date and location in America for the rematch will be revealed soon.

Speaking to Sky Sports, as per talkSPORT, Finkel said: "It will be in February. In the next couple of weeks, we'll solidify a site and date.

"For all intents and purposes, it will happen."

The Mancunian was knocked down twice in their last encounter, but generally performed better in the majority of the 12-round bout.

Finkel is certain that Fury will hit the canvas once again in the February rematch:

"The Fury fight, Fury has admitted 'I didn't know I got up, I didn't know where I was'. Is that a knockout? Is that a concussion, or what, because they didn't count 10?

There's no one he can fight, that doesn't get hurt, doesn't go down.

"The first fight with [Bermaine] Stiverne, the ref didn't see it, or count it, but he went down. He hit the canvas with his gloves and then he got up and the ref didn't count it.

"Every fight he's either knocked you out or had you down. I've never seen anything like that."

Despite Finkel's confidence, Fury's trainer Ben Davison says that he has already identified key weaknesses from Wilder's match on Saturday.

Whatever the result, we can be sure that the match is going to be a good one.
