What are their boxing records?
Deontay Wilder is a former Olympic bronze medallist, after losing in the semi-finals at the 2008 Beijing Games.
Since making his professional debut in November 2008, the American has fought 40 times with a remarkable 40-0 record.
Incredibly, Wilder has gone the distance just once, needing 12 rounds and a unanimous decision to beat Bermane Stiverne for the WBC title – he later triumphed in the opening three minutes in their rematch.
The Bronze Bomber has fought just once outside of North Amierca, beating Audley Harrison in Sheffield in 2013 – will look to defend his belt for the eighth time.
Tyson Fury, the self-styled Gypsy King, is also unbeaten but has fought just 27 times in his professional career.
The Brit missed out on a place at the same Olympics as Wilder, after David Price was chosen ahead of him.
But he has made up for it in the paid ranks, knocking out 19 of his opponents, since making his debut in December 2008.
In his 25th fight, Fury claimed the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world title belts after beating Wladimir Klitschko in one of the fights of the century in 2015.
But a two-year hiatus saw the Gypsy King lose the titles and has only fought twice since returning.
