Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2: Patrick Mahomes, Mike Tyson among celebrities in attendance for title fight
The stars have turned out in Vegas for the rematch between Wilder and Fury
The biggest fights in boxing tend to attract celebrities to the arena, and the heavyweight championship showdown between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in Las Vegas is no different. The two men throw down in a rematch for Wilder's WBC championship and Fury's lineal title after battling to a split draw in December 2018. The fight has proven to be one of the biggest heavyweight attractions of the modern era with promoters already announcing they've broken the all-time gate record for boxing in Nevada.
Celebrities are peppering the ringside seats, turning up throughout the night along with the crowd as the main event draws near. One man in attendance is very familiar with the bright lights that come with heavyweight superstardom, former world champ Mike Tyson.
