Tonight, Tyson Fury is scheduled to take on Deonte Wilder for the world heavyweight championship. This is the third fight between the two boxers, since back in 2018. The second fight, which took place in February 2020, was an excellent event and this one is sure to be too! But since this fight was originally scheduled to take place back in June, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s canceled or going to be. The delay was because Fury tested positive for COVID-19, but this time around, there’s nothing stopping the event!

Is it canceled? Absolutely not. Is it going to go down in heavyweight history? Yes, it is. If you’re not already aware, the fight is scheduled to take place at 9 p.m. ET at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Fury vs. Wilder 3 is the main event, which will be the final fight of the night. Taking place before that are three other fights, including the Continental Americas heavyweight championship between Efe Ajagba and Frank Sanchez. The best way to watch is through ESPN+ on your platform of choice, whether that’s mobile, desktop, a smart TV, a media player, or even a game console. You will need an active subscription to the service along with a Fury vs. Wilder 3 PPV ticket.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.
