"The referee may stop counting if the opponent fails to go to the neutral corner, and resume the count where he/she left off when the opponent reports to or returns to the neutral corner."

The ref counts "5" and stops the count to tell Wilder to go to a neutral corner, as per the rules. Wilder's low boxing iq made the count longer
hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahah
It's not like Fury was out of it and struggling to beat the count. He hopped right up at 8. Had it been at 8 a few seconds sooner, he'd have hopped right up then. Fury reacting to the ref's count, like a smart, well schooled fighter. Should be no controversy at all.
plus wasn't Fury starting to get up at 5 before the ref broke the count.
