Two weeks removed from a giant upset in the heavyweight division, Saturday night offers an opportunity for an even bigger surprise when Tyson Fury fights Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas.
Fury, coming off a split-decision draw against Deontay Wilder in December, is a -3000 favorite against Schwarz, the +1200 underdog at the Westgate SuperBook.
On June 1 at Madison Square Garden, Andy Ruiz Jr. shocked previously undefeated Anthony Joshua. Ruiz Jr. was a +1000 underdog.
Schwarz's shot at Fury takes place at the MGM Grand and can be streamed on ESPN+.
Fury enters with a 27-0-1 record, the lone blemish being the draw against Wilder. He's still [considered by some](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/26940511/is-tyson-fury-really-lineal-heavyweight-champion-world) to be the lineal heavyweight champion, having taken the title in a 2015 unanimous-decision win over Wladimir Klitschko, but he vacated the WBA, IBF and WBO belts while [battling depression](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/17781768/tyson-fury-vacates-heavyweight-belts-amid-treatment-depression). He returned in 2018, fighting three times with two wins and the Wilder draw.
This will be Fury's third fight in the United States and first in Las Vegas.
His counterpart on Saturday is undefeated 25-year-old Schwarz. The German is the WBO intercontinental heavyweight champion with an unblemished 24-0 record. Five of his last six wins have come via TKO/KO.
The round prop for the match is 9.5, with OVER juiced to +145 and UNDER set at -170. Only one of Schwarz's fights has reached the 10th round. Two of Fury's three fights since he returned have gone into the 10th.
For Fury, Saturday night's bout is considered a stepping stone before a rematch with Wilder. Fury won't answer questions about Wilder leading up to this fight, but Wilder has [announced](https://twitter.com/BronzeBomber/status/1134580191819206656) a rematch will happen after his upcoming fight with Luis Ortiz. Wilder and Fury are each listed at -110 at Westgate.
