Staredown is a word and we don’t care what auto-correct says. If you want proof then we ask you to take a look at the behemoths that just squared off for Showtime boxing. Former WBC champion Tyson Fury (27-0) has been calling the name of current WBC champion Deontay Wilder (40-0) for years but it took until now for boxing promoters to get off their backsides and make the fight happen. They had one of the best boxing face to face confrontations in recent memory yesterday ahead of their Saturday bout.

Pictures can only convey so much so Showtime shared the intense video and fans ate it up. The video has over 5K likes and over 2800 people actively discussing it. That’s pretty good for just a face off video in our humble opinion.
