Tyson Fury vs denotay Wilder 3

Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in the 11th round with a thunderous blow after a sensational fight.

Fury was floored twice in the fourth round of his title defence against Wilder and he had to show all of his resolve and resilience to extend his undefeated professional record to 32 fights.

In an explosive third, Fury sent his opponent Wilder onto the floor, but Wilder recovered superbly and then Fury found himself on the receiving end of the Bomber's massive right hand twice in quick succession. After that Fury took over and looked set to finish tis match in some style.

Wilder was hanging on by the end of the seventh round, but it was still a competitive fight by the tenth round of this excellent championship match. Fury landed the knockout blow in the eleventh round to end this third chapter of Fury vs. Wilder heavyweight boxing.


Tyson Fury post match thoughts:

"I was hurt a couple of times," Fury said. "Wilder is a strong puncher."

"It was a fantastic battle." I'm not going to make any excuses; Wilder is a great fighter who gave me a good fight. I always say that I am the best fighter in the world and that he is a close second.

"Never, ever doubt me." I can always deliver when the chips are down."


Fury vs. Wiler knockout moment:

A giant right hand from a giant of a man put an end to a wild fight in an unmistakable manner.

Tyson Fury landed a  couple of hands to Deontay Wilder's head midway through Round 11, knocking out his longtime rival and successfully defending his World Boxing Council world heavyweight championship.

Gypsy King showed incredible grit and strength of his character when he was knocked down on the floor twice in the fourth round of the match as Wilder landed strong left handed blows to the champion and looked set to win the match. 

But there is a reason why Fury is one of the greatest champion in boxing world, Fury survived the round and came back stronger to put up a show of resilience to defend his heavyweight title.

Fury would not be drawn on his next move, but with the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts all tied to an Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua rematch, he may be forced to defend his WBC title against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte if he beats Swede Otto Wallin later this month. All Hail The GYPSY KING!!
