Tyson Fury Crowns Himself “Number 1” Heavyweight After Defeating Deontay Wilder for the Second Time

Tyson Fury gave a mini attack to his fans when he went down to the canvas twice in his trilogy against Deontay Wilder. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ is known for his comebacks, and in this fight too, the Brit did the same. Fury pulled off a classic win to retain his undefeated stint alongside his WBC belt.

With that, he also defended his title for the very first time against a fiery Deontay Wilder, who was almost on the brink of defeating him here. Post the fight, Fury opened up on the fight and revealed why he’s a great heavyweight of the modern era.

He said, “One hundred percent. Another greatest heavyweight in my era, without a doubt. Number 1, look what I’ve done. I came tomorrow in my last 6 fights and fought the most devastating puncher in the history of our sport. Not once, not twice, but three times.”

Fury and Wilder both went, all guns blazing against each other. Wilder, surprisingly, fared exuberantly well in this fight, and using his extensive reach, he landed a lot of jabs in the early rounds. But, ‘The Gypsy King’ counter-attacked well, and he struck Wilder with some cosmic right hands.

Later, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ attacked Fury’s belly with his jabs and he coupled the same with his power-packed right hand. However, Fury dropped him in round 3, leaving Wilder staggered. But the ex-champ came back in round 4 to drop Fury twice.
