AN overwhelming 74 per cent of fight fans think Tyson Fury will reap revenge on Deontay Wilder on Saturday and be leaving Las Vegas as world heavyweight champion.
Our exclusive Sun Sport poll of more than 45,000 people has revealed the Gypsy King will rule once again and make up for 2018’s controversial draw.
Fury claims he will break the habit of a lifetime under the MGM Grand lights and go for a round two knockout against the current WBC champ.
Wilder never pretends to go for anything else, as his record of 41 KOs in 42 fights proves.
But while the critics and ring legends alike have been split on the outcome of Saturday night’s long-awaited rematch, it seems the fans are definitely not.
The only thing that seems up for debate is how – not if – Fury will win.
Of those who think the 31-year-old Traveller will be wearing the strap on Sunday morning, 60 per cent think he will need the judges to help him.
The rest think that for the 21st time in 31 fights he will win by knockout.
Predictably, the vast majority of those who fancy the Bronze Bomber believe he will do it within the distance, with around just ten per cent going for him to win on points.
If the fight does go the distance, there are fears the all-American judging line-up could conspire against Brit hero Fury.

Former world champ David Haye claimed his compatriot is “crazy” for giving the panel the green light.
There also concerns that Fury might not even be able to go the distance, with his trainer admitting he’s “not 100 per cent”.
That hasn’t stopped a string of big names queuing up to back the lineal world champ, with Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor and heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua among those predicting he will win.
Wilder has his fans too of course, including stuinning wife Telli Swift who claims Fury will get “knocked the f*** out”.
