Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury II: price for pay-per-view fight on BT Sport and how to buy it

The Gypsy King vs the Bronze Bomber is a boxing showdown that is eagerly awaited by thousands, but if you want to watch Wilder vs Fury you will have to pay to catch it.

If you plan on catching the showdown, 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.

Coverage begins at midnight on Saturday 22 February and the cost includes access to three of the undercard fights:

- Emanuel Navarrete v Jeo Santisima (WBO Super Bantamweight Title match)

- Sebastian Fundora v Daniel Lewis

- Charles Martin v Gerald Washington

How can I buy it?

The fight is available via BT Sport Box Office.
