Eww.
On ESPN+, Tyson Fury put on an impressive showing in his rematch with Deontay Wilder, dominating and pushing the pace from the start, en route to a 7th round TKO finish. As he was winning though he also provided a bit of a bizarre and gross moment in the contest.
Fury said he wanted to taste Wilder’s blood, and the heavyweight champion did just that, literally. One round before securing the finish, Fury decided to lick the blood off of Wilder’s neck and shoulder.
Watch the nasty clip below, along with a snippet from our play-by-play about the incident:
