Tyson Fury beats Wilder in world title fight in Las Vegas

[PeteC]

Tyson Fury produced the most destructive performance of his boxing life to end Deontay Wilder's five-year reign as WBC heavyweight world champion in seven thrilling rounds of their Las Vegas rematch.

The Briton, 31, pummelled his rival in a way few could have imagined following their 2018 draw, flooring him in the third and fifth rounds while constantly backing up the most-feared puncher in the division in a way no-one has done before.....

Truly don't like the guy, but one hell of a performance to be fair.

Bizarre moment however when he licks blood from Wilder's neck......

Let's not have Fury vs Wilder III - let's have Fury vs Joshua!!

Will be interesting - a rematch all in the contract, but not a matter for the boxing authorities (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBC....). Fury professes he wants to fight AJ, Saudi Arabia want the fight and will pay God only knows what for it (as they did for Joshua vs Ruiz). The UK public want this fight in the UK - Fury in Manchester, AJ in Wembley, but my guess would be under the roof in the Principality Stadium (if it happens).

However, I can honestly see the Fury vs AJ fight happening, with Wilder getting a pay-off. I can also see the fight happening in Saudi Arabia purely down to money.....
