Heavyweights step up - just not against each other

NEW YORK - Tyson Fury, the big British heavyweight who breaks into song at the most unexpected moments and would be fun to meet for a beer, will be fighting next month. So will his countryman, Anthony Joshua, who will venture across the pond to make his Madison Square Garden debut.

And then there's Deontay Wilder, who kicks things off on Saturday night with another chance to press his case that he is, like Mike Tyson liked to say, the baddest man on the planet.

No, they're not fighting each other, for reasons both as old as boxing itself and as new as the DAZN streaming service.
