Unable to complete one of the greatest comeback stories in sports
history when he settled for a disputed draw against Deontay Wilder in
their first meeting, Tyson Fury made the bold claim that he would take
the fight out of the judges' hands.
In one-sided and brutal fashion, the defensive boxing Fury transformed
into the puncher to score a pair of knockdowns before finishing Deontay
Wilder in their rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Wilder's corner
threw in the towel in Round 7 at 1:39 as a weary Wilder was battered
from pillar to post.
Fury (30-0-1, 23 KOs) defended his lineal title and added Wilder's WBC
title to his growing legend. The former three-belt champion who once
upset Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 before a nearly three-year retirement
fueled by substance abuse, obesity and mental health, Fury put a
capstone on his tremendous personal comeback.
To do so, Fury boldly walked down possibly the biggest puncher in the
sport's history and battered the bully in Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), just
like he said he would, and exposed the limited technical ability of the
"Bronze Bomber."
