Tyson Fury, confirms WBC heavyweight world champion after knocking out his challenger Deontay Wilder in the eleventh round. “A fabulous fight, better than any other trilogy in the history of sport,” he said at the end of the match. And indeed it was a really vibrant match in Las Vegas, in which Fury managed to wear Wilder in the long run with a much greater volume of shots but also took a big risk by going down twice in the fourth round.
Then the Englishman figured out how to continue, and began to keep himself further away from the tremendous right of the Alabama boxer without ever giving up the initiative. And the shots Wilder has heard them all, however showing reactivity and great heart in facing the champion who dominated. The right that closed the dispute was like a certification signature at the bottom of the trilogy, as Fury himself admitted: «Wilder is a tough guy. I have always said that I am the best in the world and he is the second ».
Thus ends one of the most heated rivalries in recent professional boxing. The first fight between the two in 2018, a highly contested draw where however Fury seemed to have won the vast majority of the rounds despite being knocked down. Then in 2020 still dominant Fury, and in fact he closed the match on the seventh round. Now his record is 31 wins in 32 fights.
