Tyson Fury beats Deontay Wilder to win heavyweight title bout rematch

ShareShareShareShare

Nearly 15 months after their first meeting ended in controversy, there was no debating who the winner was in the rematch.

Tyson Fury prevailed over Deontay Wilder by seventh-round TKO in one of the most anticipated rematches in recent boxing history Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fury — the “Gypsy King” — became WBC heavyweight champion once again, dominating Wilder before Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in the seventh round.

It was the first loss ever for Wilder in 44 fights.

“He is a warrior. He will be back. He will be champion again,” Fury said in a post-fight interview. “But I will say, the ‘King’ has returned to the top of the throne.”

Here is a round-by-round breakdown and analysis of the bout.

“My side threw in the towel, and you know I’m ready to go out on my shield,” Wilder said in a post-fight interview. “You know what I’m saying, I had a lot of things going on coming into this fight. But it is what it is. … I make no excuses tonight. I just wish my corner would have let me go out on my shield. I’m a warrior. It’s what I do.”
