Fury (27-0-1, 19 KO) is coming off a fight of the year contender against Deontay Wilder, which saw the British fighter rebound after two devastating knockdowns to earn a controversial split draw. Many thought that Fury had won a decision, and the two men will have a chance to settle the score with a rematch set for early 2020. The -2075 betting favorite looked prepared and will be the bigger fighter on Saturday night as he weighed in at 263 pounds.
Schwarz (24-0, 16 KO) will be fighting in North America for the very first time, as the bulk of his battles took place in his native Germany. Though undefeated, the +1500 underdog German hasn't fought anyone of note and has very little name value even among hardcore boxing fans. The 25-year-old is looking to shock the world and came in at 245 pounds.
The co-feature sees two of Top Rank's light heavyweights go up against one another. Jesse Hart and Sullivan Barrera will be looking to earn a title shot at each other's expense. Hart (25-2, 21 KO) is moving up in weight and looking to rebound after losing a majority decision to WBO super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez, while Barrera (22-2, 14 KO) is one fight removed from losing to Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light heavyweight title.
The entire card will be aired on ESPN+ starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the two-fight main card kicks off at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
