It has to be a fluid boxing, skilful, tactical Tyson Fury if he is to win. However, and this is something people ignore, what if Wilder wants to jab and not commit?

Tyson Fury is committed to Wilder over-committing. What if Wilder doesn't play ball? What if he thinks 'I'll throw some jabs and not chase him?' That's interesting.

This is not fighter v puncher, boxer v KO artist. It is far more.

We will have a much better fight than anyone thinks. I can see Tyson in front and getting hurt. I arrived in LA thinking Tyson on points, now I have a dreadful feeling Wilder will find him, it may be late.

In the ring at the moment is a potentially life-changing moment for Britain's Jason Welborn as the West Midlander fights for a world title for the first time.

He has lost six times in 30 fights and is up against unbeaten American Jarrett Hurd with the IBF and WBA world super-welterweight titles on the line.

We'll keep you informed of how Welborn gets on.

Already tonight we have seen a hugely impressive performance from British heavyweight Joe Joyce, who claimed a first round stoppage win over American Joe Hanks.

Joyce, 33, a silver medallist at the 2016 Olympics stunned Hanks with a short right in the opening round, thought his opponent was going to fall so moved away, but Hanks stayed on his feet before he was floored with a brutal left hook seconds later.

The referee started the count, but did not finish it as he waved off Hanks, who suffered only the third defeat of his 26-fight professional career.

For Joyce, who celebrated with some fancy acrobatics, it was his seventh professional win from seven contests, with all victories coming inside the distance. Yet another great Briton moving quickly up the ranks in the heavyweight division. We've never had it so good.

The Staples Center is a place where you can fill your boots as a sports fan. Since last Sunday they’ve had the LA Knights playing ice hockey, two LA Lakers basketball games, an LA Clippers NBA game and now this - a big fight.

If that’s not enough you could have gone to see Justin Timberlake play there on Wednesday too. It’s one hive of activity!

So as we've said, not too long ago Tyson Fury weighed 28 stone.

Just how do you lose 10 stone in 12 months to set yourself up for a world title fight?

Watch this, and find out.

Right from the start, Tyson Fury has been a fighter....

"When I put my hand on his small frame, I could feel the life in him. I said to the doctor 'he will make it'."

John Fury - father of British fighter Tyson Fury - recalls the day he cradled his newborn son, weighing just 1lb.

Born three months prematurely in the summer of 1988, the future heavyweight champion of the world was given a slim chance of survival.

Twenty-eight years later the fight was with depression - a struggle so ugly that his father says his son has now "nearly died twice".

"He has defied the odds since day one," adds John Fury. "Maybe this is just who he is."

Your eyes were just resting, right?

Wakey wakey, rise and shine. Every now and then there is a fight worth throwing an all-nighter for or setting the alarm clock at some stupid time.

Today is such an occasion.

Deontay Wilder versus Tyson Fury for the WBC world heavyweight title. Both undefeated.

I'm Michael Emons and it is my pleasure to be guiding you through all the action today. We will have BBC Radio 5 live commentary with the best in the business, Mike Costello and the team from 04:00 GMT.

Excited? You aren't the only one.

It was one of the best performances of all time from any British boxer.

Tyson Fury stunned the boxing world back in November 2015 when he ended Wladimir Klitschko's nine-year reign as world heavyweight champion with a beautiful display of boxing to win the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBC world titles on points.

But after the high, came the lows. And there were many lows for Fury in the next two years.

Severe depression, suicidal thoughts, a drug ban, ballooning in weight to 28 stone. It appeared that we would never see him in the boxing ring ever again.

But never write Fury off. He lost 10 stone, came back into boxing with a couple of wins and now he gets a chance to become a two-time world champion.

Can he complete the fairytale return and complete the greatest comeback ever?
