Wilder will put his WBC heavyweight championship on the line, while Fury risks his claim to the lineal heavyweight title.

Fury vs Wilder 2 Date and Fight Time
The big pay-per-view begins Saturday night, February 22, at 9 p.m. ET. Ring walks for the main event are expected to take place at midnight ET.
Wilder vs Fury 2 Purse
Thankfully, money was not an issue that prevented this fight from happening. The fighters agreed on a 50-50 split of the purse, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed that each will earn a base contract payout of $5 million. But that's not all.
All things considered, both men are guaranteed to walk away with at least $25 million, plus a share of profits from the ambitious joint pay-per-view between FOX and ESPN.
Interestingly enough, the terms of a third fight has already been agreed. The winner of the rematch will receive a 60% split of the purse from their next fight if the rematch clause is enacted.
