The Gypsy King is the Lineal champion, has never lost a belt in the ring, and just clowned the WBC paper champion. There is no doubt that Fury won every single round against the Bronze Bummer. The fight was 116-110, assuming you didn't give Fury any 10-8 rounds, which I wouldn't be surprised if you did. That could make Wilder's score be a 109, 108, 107 kinda deal.
We all know Fury won. The only people who won't admit it are mostly bitter fat Yanks, or haters. Anyone with any common sense who knows their chit when it comes to boxing, knows that Fury took Wilder's best punches and gave him an absolute boxing masterclass. One of the greatest performances by a travelling fighter in the US, against a US fighter, in recent memory.
Fury was the fall guy in the narrative, but in reality he has always been the best there is in the Heavyweight division. Fair enough he had his fat Elvis (another fat Yank) period, but that aside he has always looked a cut above the rest. Why should he rematch a man he has already outclassed and soundly defeated, on every level? There are bigger fish to fry, and Fury has a massive platform now on which he can call the shots.
In closing, Fury never lost the IBF, IBO, WBA Super, WBO, RING, Lineal titles, and easily defeated the WBC champion. By rites all belts belong to the Gypsy King. No man has held all the belts like this since Lennox Lewis. Is Fury the first man to stake a claim to all of those belts at the same time? Wlad Klitschko never managed it. Lennox Lewis never got his hands on the WBO. Damn, Tyson Fury has an unrivaled legacy, and he isn't done yet!
