22nd February declared as the biggest sporting day in 2020

22nd February has been declared as the biggest sporting day in 2020 with Fury-Wilder clash to be on the same day with other mega PL ties.

The first three months of the year are full of action in sports, as several important events are concentrated around them and in the coming year, 22nd February is being deemed as the biggest sporting day.

The reason behind this sudden hype is because a lot of action will be served on that day. First of all, According to ESPN, Tyson Fury’s rematch with Deontay Wilder has been set for February 22.

The highly-anticipated rematch hasn’t confirmed the venue yet, but most of the officials believe that the event will happen at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.

The fight’s details are slowly coming out after Wilder’s successful title-defence against Luis Ortiz. The Bronze Bomber was able to withstand the constant pressure of the Cuban to claim a Knockout win in the seventh round.

On the same day, many miles away in London, Chelsea will play against Tottenham, considering this tie happens at least twice every year, then why it is so special?

The reason is Jose Mourinho – Chelsea’s one of most successful managers will return to the Stamford Bridge to compete against them with their much-hated city rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

In 2015, Mourinho said that he would never join Tottenham by reasoning that he loves Chelsea fans too much, four years later, the Portuguese manager is with the same team, which he vowed to never manage.

Coming further in the day, there will be another clash which can shape the Premier League race as Manchester City will face Leicester City. The Foxes are surprisingly ahead of the Champions of England in the table with Liverpool flying way ahead.
