Tyson Fury has retained his WBC heavyweight title after knocking out Deontay Wilder in the 11th round in Las Vegas.
Earlier this week the two boxers had a slanging match at the final news conference, with Fury seizing on Wilder's list of excuses for his loss in the second fight.The pair's first bout in December 2018 ended in a draw after the British fighter famously rose from the canvas after seemingly being knocked-out cold.
The third fight was supposed to be held in July but was postponed after Fury tested positive for COVID-19.Fury's superior all-round boxing skills made him most people's strong favourite, but Wilder's phenomenal one-punch power meant as long as he was still standing he had a chance.
