Former two division champion David Haye believes a fight with Tyson Fury would be a very tall order for Anthony Joshua. On Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Fury overcame two knockdowns to knock Deontay Wilder out in the eleventh round of their trilogy fight.

By Corey Erdman - The story of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s rivalry has always felt like a professional wrestling storyline. Over the course of three fights spanning four years, there have been allegations of loaded gloves, crooked referees, illegal punches, poisoned water bottles, accusations of betrayal, heavy costumes that sapped fighters’ energy, COVID-19 cases, lawsuits, vows of silence, threats of retirement and threats to kill one another in the ring. In general, the type of over-the-top chaos that would typically characterize a scripted feud.

LAS VEGAS – Deontay Wilder wouldn’t shake Tyson Fury’s hand following their brutal battle Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. Wilder’s lack of respect for the winner didn’t prevent Fury from commending the former WBC heavyweight champion for improving between their second and third fights. The brash Brit acknowledged Wilder was a different fighter than the one he encountered during their first two bouts in December 2018 and February 2020.

Tyson Fury emphatically ended his trilogy against Deontay Wilder with a devastating 11th round TKO win. The British boxer and WBC champion Fury (31-0-1, 22KOs) delivered a brutal beating and landed 150 punches on Wilder (42-2-1, 41KOs), three of which resulted in knockdowns in the third, tenth and eleventh rounds.

Wilder won just one round on three of the judges’ scorecards from the sixth round on and was not effectively using his equalizing right hand, a development also discussed during the live television broadcast by Hall of Fame heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

Tyson Fury already entered the night as the best current heavyweight in the world. Following a repeat knockout win over Deontay Wilder—having to recover from two knockdowns to prevail Saturday evening at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas—the belief is that the reigning lineal/WBC champion has transformed from a top heavyweight to an all-time great.
