Tyson Fury(27-0, 19 KOs) will fight Deontay Wilder(40-0, 39 KOs) for the WBC World heavyweight title in Los Angeles on December 1.
Before he meets Fury, Wilder delivered tickets for first responders alongside L.A. Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas at LAFD Station 3.
“These men and women risk their lives each and every day,” said Wilder. “When the duty calls, they’re at the top of their game. I really respect the hard work that they do and I’m blessed to be here and be amongst so many brave people. I just really appreciate everyone here and I’m looking forward to seeing them at the fight on Saturday night. This donation is for all of the things that they do on a daily basis and everything they do that people don’t see. They are always ready when the time comes. I know that the city and the state appreciate everything you do.”
Meanwhile, Fury joined L.A. Country Fire Chief Daryl Osby at the L.A. County Fire Department Headquarters to meet with first responders.
“These firefighters are heroes who have been out there every day saving lives,” said Fury.
“Since I’ve been here I’ve been following the situation and the fantastic job these men and women have been doing. I’m glad to be here to tell them how thankful I am for what they do and help give them a break Saturday night. Training in California has really opened my eyes to see so many different cultures and so many different things that are going on here.
“There’s a lot of homeless people on the streets and when I go home I’m going to build homes for the homeless and set up funds for those in need. Being here has given me that extra push to do more,” he added.
