Conor McGregor was certainly impressed with what he saw.

Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder in an epic trilogy fight to defend his WBC heavyweight title last night in Las Vegas. The contest featured five knockdowns with plenty of action throughout.

However, it was Fury who came out on top as his third knockdown of the night downed Wilder for good in the 11th round.

Mainstream audiences, casuals and of course, the combat sports world were all watching and reacting. That included McGregor who gave his thoughts on Sunday.

“Great fight that. Both warriors, both winners. Hard to not be impressed with Deontay there. Against the much larger man and almost got it done. Great fight. 40lb’s in weight difference is A LOT. Fair play both men there, very enjoyable fights they have had together. Respect.”

McGregor also managed to take a shot at Dustin Poirier in the process as he referenced what happened in his own trilogy with “The Diamond” in July.

“Their skill levels are unique but very close. A great heavyweight trilogy that was. I love when it gets set for certain and both have an honorable showing. Not the fam in the ring fake celebrating after a freak injury etc etc you know the gig, God bless the real in this world.”

“Congrats Tyson and Paris. Me and Dee are so happy for you and the kids. Congrats Deontay and Telli also. Was great meeting you guys recently. A real proud showing that was, and could have went either way. Amazing! Happy Sunday now today with the cheddar and the memory’s God bless”

Deontay Wilder Speaks Out Following KO Defeat Against Tyson Fury

Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder has spoken out for the first time since he suffered an 11th round knockout loss to Tyson Fury at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

A career-heavy ‘Bronze Bomber’ started well with a flurry of jabs to the body of his opponent in round one of their trilogy bout. The tables quickly turned though and by round three Fury had dropped Wilder and seemed to be on his way to another routine victory.

Wilder rallied in round four, scoring two heavy knockdowns of his own. ‘The Gypsy King’ showed his patented toughness to get off the floor and work his way back into the fight.

By round five the American looked spent. Fury continued to pile on the pressure through the middle rounds and a stoppage win seemed inevitable. Only a true warrior’s heart allowed Wilder to fight on until round 11 before he was brutally knocked unconscious by the British banger.

According to Boxing Scene, Wilder admitted he “wasn’t good enough” post-fight.

“I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough,” said Wilder afterwards. “I’m not sure what happened. I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 to be a ballet dancer. He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”

Fury attempted to make peace with Wilder after the fight but apparently, the prolific knockout artist dismissed him.

“I’m a sportsman, I went over to (Deontay Wilder to) show some love and respect and he didn’t want to show it back. So I pray for him,” Fury said in the ring post-fight.

“I just said, ‘Well done,’ and he said, ‘I don’t wanna show any sportsmanship or respect.’ I said, ‘No problem.’ Very surprised. Sore loser. Idiot,” Fury added.

Do you think Deontay Wilder will be able to bounce back from his second career defeat?

Tyson Fury won his trilogy with Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.

In what was one of the best boxing matches in recent history, Fury knocked Wilder down early before surviving a pair of knockdowns from Wilder himself.

However, Fury was back in control soon after as he hurt the American a number of times. Wilder showed tremendous heart to survive for so long, but was ultimately dropped a couple of times before he was down for good in the 11th round.

As a result, he defended his WBC heavyweight title for the first time.

Tyson Fury Sings After Trilogy Win, Says Deontay Wilder Didn’t Show Respect After Fight

Tyson Fury stuck with tradition as always.

After knocking Wilder out in the 11th round of their trilogy match for the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas Saturday night, the Briton took the mic and sang like he usually does.

This time, he sang “Walking in Vegas” to conclude his post-fight interview.

However, the hatchet wasn’t buried.

Fury revealed he went over to Wilder to show love and respect and the latter was in no mood to reciprocate as he left the ring soon after the decision was read.

“I’m a sportsman, I went over to (Deontay Wilder to) show some love and respect and he didn’t want to show it back. So I pray for him.”

“I just said, ‘Well done,’ and he said, ‘I don’t wanna show any sportsmanship or respect.’ I said, ‘No problem.’ Very surprised. Sore loser. Idiot.”

Of course, Wilder took a lot of punishment on the night — including three knockdowns overall — and showed plenty of heart to last as long as he did. Perhaps, he’ll reciprocate once he’s back to his senses and can digest what occurred.

For now, it’s all about Fury who can now look ahead to title unification plans in the near future.

Professional wrestling icon, The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) has asked WBC and The Ring heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury to use his famous phrase “rest in peace” should he knockout former heavyweight titleholder, Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy championship match tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Headlining an event at the T-Mobile Arena — Fury looks to defend both his WBC and The Ring titles against challenger, Wilder in a third matchup between the two. From two prior matchups, the pair fought to a split draw back in 2018, before Fury managed to stop Wilder with a one-sided seventh round knockout in their rematch in February of last year.

Fury was widely expected to challenge former heavyweight champion, recent feature, Anthony Joshua off the back of his rematch with Wilder, however, the bout was shelved after an arbitration vetoed the long-awaited bout, in favor of a third matchup between the Manchester favorite and Wilder. 

Posting a video aimed at Fury, The Undertaker urged the defending champion to carry out a task for him should he knock Wilder out. 

“You smash this guy (Deontay Wilder), and when you’re looking over him, look down at him, just for me, and say, Rest. In. Peace.” The Undertaker said.

In response, Fury, donning a hat often worn by the WWE professional wrestling during his ring walks, confirmed he would carry out the request.

“This one’s for The Undertaker, I’m here today in your hat, sir,” Tyson Fury said in response. “I’m gonna smash him (Deontary Wilder) And I’m gonna say, Rest. In. Peace.“

Boasting a 30-0-1 professional record, Fury has bested the likes of Wilder, Tom Schwarz, Wladimir Klitschko, and twice, Derek Chisora. 

42-1-1 as a professional, Wilder, who has managed to take a whopping 41 knockouts over the course of his career, suffered his sole professional defeat against Fury, and has stopped the likes of Bermane Stiverne (x2), Chris Arreola, Dominic Breazeale, as well as Luis Ortiz (x2).

The time has arrived for Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder 3.

Tonight (Oct. 9), Fury and Wilder will mix it up for the third time. The action will be held inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fury will be putting the WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Titles on the line.

In their first encounter back in Dec. 2018, Fury survived two knockdowns. The bout ended up going the distance and was ruled a split draw. The Feb. 2020 rematch played out far differently with “The Gypsy King” turning in a dominant performance on his way to a seventh-round TKO victory.

Wilder has hurled cheating accusations Fury’s way. He even fired his old trainer Mark Breland after accusing him of spiking his water. With Malik Scott now by his side, Wilder believes he has the recipe to hand Fury the first loss of his pro boxing career. Time will tell if he can pull it off.
