Potential for fireworks at Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder press conference
After accusations from Wilder that Fury cheated after stopping him in 2020, there is the potential for fireworks at Tuesday's press conference.
Current holder of the WBC heavyweight belt, Fury will fight Wilder on pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 24.
Today though the rivals will go head to head, streamed live on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter to publicise their trilogy bout.
It will be the first time they have been together since Wilder was left battered and bruised after a seventh-round onslaught by the 'Gypsy King' in February 2020.
World Boxing News claim there are real concerns from both parties that the Fury vs Wilder press conference could turn ugly, quickly.
And while broadcasters will be praying for fireworks, the authorities will be hoping the two giant rivals keep a lid on proceedings.

Wilder still refuses to drop those conspiracy theories. And in an interview earlier this month with Premier Boxing Champions, he said: "They saw no evil.
'No excuses' this time
Finkel told Sky Sports: "He is definitely capable. Again, no excuses, he wasn't the Deontay we know in that second fight and we'll be looking to surprise the world.
New trainer
"He was the only one handling my water. He was the only one" Wilder told 78SPORTSTV in November last year.
Wilder does though look rejuvenated, working alongside Scott and has looked sharp in training videos.
Developing his skill set and improving his movement are understood to have been Scott's priority, as Wilder looks to cope better with the size and speed of Wythenshawe-born Fury.
One eye on AJ
Wilder on the other hand has seen the last year dominated by talk of a fight with Anthony Joshua.
Can Fury, 32, who is the heavy favourite with the bookies, refocus his sights on toppling Wilder for a second time?
AJ or 'the Hype Job', as referred to by Fury, will surely be in the back of his mind. And as Eddie Hearn states, Fury v Joshua could still be the fight of a generation before the turn of the year.
