Fury announces Wilder rematch signed for February

Tyson Fury announced Sunday that he's signed on for a rematch with Deontay Wilder for February 22.

"This time, I haven’t been out of the ring for three years," Fury says in the announcement, posted to YouTube by Behind The Gloves. "This time, I haven’t been abusing too much alcohol. And this time, I’m going to knock him the f--- out."

Fury's co-promoters Bob Arum and Frank Warren, as well as Wilder's side, have yet to confirm or make an official announcement on the highly anticipated rematch.

The two heavyweights met in December and fought to a 12-round split-decision draw.

Fury (28-0-1), the lineal heavyweight champion, is coming off a second-round knockout of Tom Schwarz in June. It is expected he'll take another fight later in the year before meeting with Wilder, although his opponent has yet to be named.

Wilder (41-0-1) last fought in May, finishing Dominic Breazeale in the first round. The WBC heavyweight titleholder is slated to fight Luis Ortiz for the second time on Sept. 28.
