Tyson Fury, the modern heavyweight great, has had many notable performances inside the boxing ring. But one fight that stands tall across all his bouts was his second meet with Deontay Wilder in February 2020. In this bout, Fury went all guns blazing against Wilder.

As promised, he only moved ahead with his scathing approach and smothered the Alabama native, who had no answers. That said, Wilder went down on the canvas multiple times. Following several knockdowns, as his corner threw a towel in round 7, the referee had to stop the fight then and there.

Recently, ‘The Gypsy King’, in a conversation with BT Sport Boxing, opened up on the referee’s role in saving Wilder’s life.

“I believe the referee actually saved his life that night and saved his career for sure,” he said.

Before their February 2020 match, the duo fought in 2018. That bout went the distance and intrigued fans till the final gong. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was even successful in landing his dynamite-like right hand on undefeated Fury, thus putting him on the canvas twice. Those blows were crucial in him securing a draw.

As both of their fights were entertaining thrillers, fans expect their third bout to be even more entertaining.
