Wilder's two best performances: Defeating Bermane Stiverne on points to claim the WBC title in January 2015, winning every round with volume punching in a masterful display.
Victory over Luis Ortiz by brutal tenth round knockout after coming back from a torrid seventh round when he looked in serious trouble.
Wilder had Ortiz down three times in the title defence in March 2018.
Fury's two best performances: Dethroning Wladimir Klitschko as the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champion in Germany. Klitschko had reigned for almost a decade.
Victory over Dereck Chisora in London, their second fight, in which Fury was sublime, switching between orthodox and southpaw, hitting his foe at will before Chisora retired in the tenth round.
Styles make: Fury has outfoxed opponents in his most challenging bouts, using his long jab, good reactions and ability to slip and slide.
Not a knockout merchant, Fury, has fought six times in the last four years while Wilder has fought eight times. Wilder has power and danger in both hands and in an unorthodox fighter with marauding attacks.
Physique: Fury is taller than Wilder and provides a difficult, awkward opponent for anyone. It will be a battle of giants, boxing ability versus speed and power. Wilder will be dangerous for every minute of every round.
Wilder also showed a strong chin against Ortiz, overcoming dangerous periods and displayed a champion's heart and stamina to come back and finish his rival.
