In one of the main events of the boxing evening in Belfast, former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) scored a one-sided victory over the former title challenger Francesco Pianeta (35-4-1, 21 KOs) and cleared his way to the fight in the fall in the US against WBC champion Deontay Wilder, who watched the battle from the ringside and commented on the duel for the American television channel Showtime. The referee's score was 100-90.
After the announcement of the winner, Wilder rose in the ring to his future opponent. Fury and Wilder after a couple of respectful words about each other, still could not resist and again arranged a verbal skirmish. It is expected that next week the parties will sign a contract for a duel in November in Las Vegas.

According to Frank Warren, who was also present in the ring, the fight is on.
