Fury vs Schwarz Stats, Facts & Fight PursesFury vs Schwarz Stats, Facts & Fight Purses

Summary
In the main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury easily manhandled previously-unbeaten Tom Schwarz. Quick and powerful, this version of Fury was more aggressive than the 'hit-and-move' boxer we're accustomed to seeing.

Many consider Fury the best heavyweight in the world.

Post Fight

Incredible movement: Fury, again, proved hard to hit as Schwarz once had his foe against the ropes but failed to land a punch in a series of shots.
The Show: It wasn't a fight; Fury gave a "performance" (figuratively and literally), as he promised.
This version was even better: This version of Fury, fluid and crisp, looked to be the best we've seen on his comeback.
Bad intentions: Usually cautious, tonight's Fury was aggressive and showed no fear of Schwarz''s power
"I feels good!": Fury entered the ring to James Brown's Rocky IV hit Livin' in America; And his trunks, gloves and ringwalk steps resembled Apollo Creed's in the aforementioned movie.
So romantic: Moments after the fight and on live TV, Fury sang to his wife while still in the ring... Stick to boxing, Tyson.
Crowd support: The crowd, comprised of many probably Brits who trekked to Vegas for the fight, was heavily pro Fury.
A fine showcase: Fury's stock likely increased after the fight due to his dominant and impressive performance and his pre and post fight showmanship.

Pre-Fight

BoxRec: Schwarz enters this bout 24-0 and is ranked No. 56 in the world among heavyweights by BoxRec; Fury is ranked No. 3 by BoxRec.
Sanctioning Bodies: Schwarz is rated Nos. 2 and 8 in the division by the WBO and IBF while Fury is rated Nos 3 and 2 by the WBO and WBC.
Lineal Champion? Despite his previous 2 1/2 year hiatus from boxing, Fury enters this fighting claiming to be the lineal heavyweight champion since he dethroned the previous lineal champion, Wladimir Klitschko, and hasn't lost since.
Limited but Worthy: Tom doesn't have any wins against a big-name opponent but has recently defeated opponents with decent win/loss records. His last 6 were: 17- 1, 12-2, 11-0, 16-0, 10-1-1 and 18-1. Combined 84-5-2.
He's been active: Schwarz fought 5x in 13 months, from Feb 2017 to March 2018.
Wilder: Fury comes into this fight off a draw with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in a bout many thought the former deserved to win.
Getting back in the grove: The fight will be Fury's 4th following a 2 1/2 year hiatus
Likely outcome: Although Schwarz is a quality heavyweight, this will likely be a 'stay-busy' fight for Tyson as he gears up for a rematch with Deontay Wilder and/or possibly a high-stakes showdown with rival and former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Fury vs Schwarz Predictions and OddsFury vs Schwarz Predictions and Odds

Loot Levinson, Predict'Em.com: I’m betting that the Fury-Schwarz fight will go “under” 9.5 completed rounds at -135 betting odds. Schwarz might prove to be a decent prospect, but the foreign conditions of the fight, in addition to the drastic rise in class will be too much for him."

I see Schwarz hanging in there well for a bit before the reality and magnitude of the situation come raining down on him.
