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 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 […]
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 […]
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.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder got into a bit of a shouting match on stage after the weigh-in and on their way backstage as well.
The two boxers have been trash-talking each other left and right to the lead-up of their third fight. Wilder a little less than Fury has, since he was at a few press conferences with headphones on and the inability to speak for some odd reason. In the videos, the two exchange a decent amount of trash talk about the others mother. Talking about your opponent’s mother was a grey area that fighters usually don’t cross the line into. Sure, we have seen fighters like Conor McGregor talk about his opponent’s wife, but rarely does ‘good ol’ ma’ come into the trash talk.
Wilder threw the first “F*ck your mom” out there first in the video, with Fury retaliating with the same followed up by Fury calling Wilder a “piece of sh*t”. In the first video it is hard to make out what the two are exactly exchanging in words, but you can hear a bunch of obscenities being thrown around by Fury. At the end of the video you can hear Fury call Wilder a “f*cking p*ssy” The two did not face-off after the weigh-in.
Both fighters weighed in at the heaviest they have ever been for a fight. Fury did this last fight and said the extra weight would do him good in the power aspect of his punching. He was right and walked Wilder down for most of the fight and finished it via TKO. It seems as if Wilder may be taking a page out of Fury’s book. The extra added weight could make Wilder that much more dangerous this time around. We will have to wait to see if Wilder still has the speed to go with that superhuman right hand he possesses.
This is stacked up to be a great fight this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Who do you think takes this trilogy bout? Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder?
