The Gypsy King’s second fight with the Bronze Bomber is set to have thousands tuning in, but you’ll need to pay to catch it.

Like most major boxing events, Wilder v Fury 2 is available exclusively as a pay-per-view event.

If you plan on tuning in, here’s everything you need to know about purchasing the world heavyweight title bout.

How does pay-per-view work?

As you’d expect, pay-per-view simply means that you pay for the event you want to view rather than for a channel as a whole.

While most sport is available on subscription services like BT Sport and Sky Sports, big fights are almost always excluded from these deals and have to be bought separately.

The money raised through pay-per-views can then contribute a large chunk of the money made by the two fighters: it has been estimated that Wilder and Fury could raise somewhere around £60 million from the pay-per-view sales alone with their latest fight.

How much does the Wilder v Fury fight cost?

Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury 2 is priced at £24.95.
