I am showing you the best angle. The angle from behind Wilder. It clearly shows it wasn't an ear shot. It was a shot behind the head. It doesn't mean it was intentional. It doesn't mean it was illegal since Wilder was ducking. It simply means that because Wilder took a devastating shot behind the head, and clearly was in no condition to continue, that anything that took place afterward isn't an indication of what would necessarily take place in a rematch.
Fury deserved to win. I was rooting for Fury to win. I'm happy Fury won. I just think the narrative coming out of the fight is misleading and I think people are in denial about where that punch landed. I've seen numerous people on this site claim it was no different than the shot Ruiz landed on Joshua and that's simply factually incorrect.
Ruiz hit Joshua on the ear/temple. I've supplied a freeze frame of the exact moment of initial impact and Joshua wasn't hit behind the head in any way whatsoever.
Fury hit Wilder behind the head. Not on the ear. Not on the temple. Behind the head. The camera angle behind Wilder gives the clearest view.
