Deontay Wilder suffered a defeat against Tyson Fury last weekend at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas. This fight turned out to be one of the best boxing bouts of all time. Although Wilder ended up losing this bout, he still stunned Fury with his movements, approach, power, and defense.
Both the men exchanged a barrage of punches and they truly came out with their best game plans. ‘The Gypsy King’, however, had the edge in this fight, and he completely brutalized Wilder with his daunting approach. That said, Wilder bled excessively in this fight and broke his right hand behind the third knuckle.
Citing that, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ recently received a 6-month medical suspension to fully recover from the injuries he suffered in this fight.

Wilder started the fight well with his long and strong jabs. He set a target of attacking Fury’s body first to keep the champion in range. However, in round 3, Fury caught him and dropped him onto the canvas.
Many fans believed that this fight was over. However, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ had some unique plans. He counter-attacked well in the subsequent round and even dropped Fury twice.
His success in the fight was short-lived because Fury recovered and annihilated Wilder in the later rounds. ‘The Gypsy King’ pressed the Alabama native and finished him with a monstrous KO blow in round 11.
