(February 22, 2020) Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury defeated Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder by seventh-round stoppage to capture the WBC Heavyweight Championship Saturday night headlining a historic mega PPV event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
"A big shout out to Deontay Wilder," said Fury. "He came here tonight and he manned up and he really did show the heart of a champion.I hit him with a clean right that dropped him and he got back up. He is a warrior. He will be back. He will be champion again.But I will say, the king has returned to the top of the throne!"
"Things like this happen," said Wilder. "The best man won tonight, but my corner threw in the towel and I was ready to go out on my shield. I had a lot of things going on heading into this fight. It is what it is, but I make no excuses tonight. I'm a warrior. He had a great performance and we will be back stronger."
The highly anticipated rematch was the most eagerly awaited heavyweight fight in decades after their controversial split draw in 2018. After an unprecedented promotion, the two heavyweight giants traded leather in the middle of the ring in front of a sold out crowd of 15,816.
While both men landed good shots in the first two rounds, Fury broke through in round three with a right hook that put Wilder down late in the round. While Wilder was able to make it through the round and continue fighting, his legs appeared weakened and in round five Fury scored another knockdown, this time with a body shot.
Referee Kenny Bayless deducted a point from Fury late in round five, but it didn't stop Fury from coming forward and continuing to use his height and weight advantage to push Wilder around the ring. In round seven, Fury had Wilder cornered and unloaded with a series of power punches that prompted Wilder's corner to stop the bout, which the referee officially did at 1:39 of the round.
According to CompuBox, Fury was the busier and more effective puncher, out throwing Wilder 267 to 141 and out landing him 82 to 34, including big fifth and sixth rounds where he landed 16 and 14 power punches respectively.

04:20Both men want to further their legacy.
04:24Both men have that opportunity here tonight.
04:27It doesn't get much better than this.
04:2912 rounds of action scheduled in the heavyweight division.
04:34Number one and number two,
04:35arguably in the heavyweight division,
04:37ready to put it all on the line.
04:40Right here in Las Vegas, Nevada.
04:42Ray Forrest, Christina Ponscher.
04:44There is the champion, Deontay Wilder.
04:48The challenger, Tyson Fury.
04:50Fury immediately surges out to the center of the ring.
04:56Tyson Fury changed trainers leading up to this fight,
04:59now working with Javon Sugarhill
05:01on the Clonk Boxing Gym in Detroit.
05:04Forearm lift, on and on.
05:06The late great Emanuel Stewart.
05:09Tyson Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion.
05:12Deontay Wilder has made 10 successful title defenses
05:17tied to Muhammad Ali.
05:20He said all week long his goal was to surpass his idol,
05:26Muhammad Ali, and have the most consecutive defenses
05:29of his heavyweight world title.
05:31Tyson Fury predicted a knockout in the second,
05:34and Fury is coming out more aggressive here
05:37in the first round compared to what he did in the first round.
05:40Big right hand, smacking off the top of the head of Fury.
05:45Already landed by Deontay Wilder.
05:48That one was a good defense by Tyson Fury,
05:51but he landed the first right hand that he threw.
05:55That was a right block by Wilder,
05:58but Fury will sit into the pocket more.
06:00You can tell he's trying to gain his comfortability.
06:04He ate that right hand, though, from Deontay Wilder.
06:06Not many people have been able to do that.
06:08Fury's saying he doesn't want to leave this fight
06:11in the judge's hands.
06:12That's why he's trying to push the action.
06:14That's why he's trying to be more aggressive.
06:15There's a right hand by Fury. Fury coming forward.
06:20Fury pressing the action.
06:23There's a shot. My goodness.
06:27Eighty seconds to go in the first.
06:29Fury with that jab to the body of Wilder.
06:34Fury came out of this by two seconds.
06:36He is now weighing in at 17 pounds above
06:39what he did in the first fight.
06:41Wilder, 231, 19 pounds heavier than the first fight.
06:46There was a strong jab there by Tyson Fury
06:48that sent Deontay Wilder back a little bit.
06:51He's looking to use that extra weight that he's put on
06:54to give him what he feels like is that extra power
06:56that he needed to put down Deontay Wilder in this fight.
07:01Well, Christina, you pointed out
07:03that during the ring walk for Deontay Wilder,
07:05Tyson Fury was shadowboxing, trying to keep himself loose.
07:09Both men are in impeccable shape.
07:11Fury, awesome! Fury, awesome!
07:15He chants, uh, you big, uh, dosso.
07:18That is a term that Tyson Fury has thrown
07:21towards Deontay Wilder's way.
07:23Oh, good left hand by Tyson Fury.
07:25Land there on a strong jab by Deontay Wilder.
07:28There's no man like my Fury. Fury crowding Deontay Wilder.
07:32Fight a moment's up, the first.
07:36Oh, big jab!
07:38A jab that snapped back the head of the champion.
07:43Fury has shown that he can stand in the line of fire
07:48and beat the Candies through the first round.
07:53Very good first round by Tyson Fury.
07:57But Deontay Wilder remaining calm,
08:00understanding that in a merry bond and not a spirit,
08:04he has been known to give away rounds early
08:08to get his timing down to land that right hand.
08:11Now we're listening to Travon Sugarhill
08:14in the corner of Tyson Fury.
08:16♪
08:25Not yet. He's motivated.
08:28He's waiting to come in that book a lot.
08:30♪
08:37J.E.'s mark right here.
08:40The combo that has worked with Deontay since day one.
08:42He said, I am loyal to my team.
08:44These guys have stuck by me.
08:46Fury's got a lot of this nervous energy.
08:48What is he on, a 6, 7, 8, 9 trainer?
08:50That's something that he's talked about.
08:53That's at least coming from Deontay's mouth.
08:54He said, me and my team, they know me inside and out,
08:57and that's what helps give me the confidence
08:59to fight at my very best.
09:00Tyson Fury seems to be very comfortable in that ring,
09:03Christina, as Deontay Wilder waiting,
09:07looking for that big shot.
09:09And it is round two,
09:11the round that Tyson Fury all promotion long has said
09:14he's going to stop Deontay Wilder.
09:17What a monumental moment that would be,
09:18but for Deontay Wilder,
09:20he has the highest knockout percentage
09:22in heavyweight championship history.
09:2434 years of age is the bronze bomber
09:26from Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
09:28but Fury's jab seems to be problematic
09:31right now for the bronze bomber.
09:34There's a big jab.
09:36It was almost a jab followed by a jab-left hook
09:39combination of sorts.
09:41Big right hand that snapped back the head of Fury.
09:45Wilder sprayed him with that shot.
09:48And don't forget, Tyson Fury,
09:49in his last fight against Otto Valine,
09:51had 47 stitches in his wide eye.
09:55There's a left hook that missed by Wilder.
09:58Right hand as Fury tying up.
10:00Step back now.
10:01Hurry, go, hurry, go.
10:02Step back.
10:03They're coming up on 100 seconds to go here
10:08in the second round.
10:10Both fighters exchanging big leathers here.
10:14Early and often, the jab of Tyson Fury
10:17and the right hand of Deontay Wilder.
10:20A jab right to the abdomen by Deontay Wilder.
10:25When I asked J.D.'s earlier today
10:27about the weight gain by Deontay Wilder,
10:31he goes, look, he goes, we don't monitor that.
10:33As long as he's eating well, feeling well,
10:34we don't monitor that.
10:36This is the heavyweight division,
10:37so they were very quick to dismiss
10:39that there was any gamesmanship or reason
10:41why he gained the weight.
10:43In fact, in the fighter meetings,
10:44he did say, we don't even keep a scale in the gym.
10:47We don't weigh each other.
10:48Come fight week.
10:48It's not a point of emphasis.
10:50Enough, enough, enough, hurry, go.
10:52Kenny Bayless will celebrate them
10:54as Tyson Fury holding on to the right arm
10:55for the left arm of Deontay Wilder.
10:58Kenny Bayless looks at Fury.
10:59Big right hand by Wilder.
11:04Fury, though, turned his head to the side
11:07and got clipped a little bit.
11:08That was a grazing shot.
11:11Stiff jab by Fury.
11:14Both men have had glimpses of brilliance
11:17here in the fight, Christina, thus far.
11:20They haven't.
11:21Both men have seemed to establish their dominant
11:24in terms of their strong punches.
11:26The strong lead jab for Tyson Fury
11:28and the right hand for Deontay Wilder.
11:30We're saying it time and time again,
11:31but a right hand from Fury.
11:32Got in on that exchange.
11:34As Wilder smartly clinches and walks him back
11:36to the center of the ring.
11:38And Kenny Bayless will separate the two.
11:39Deontay Wilder looking to launch
11:41that right hand, which has put away so many.
11:44Deontay Wilder does his third rematch.
11:46Big right hand by Wilder again.
11:48And Fury eats it well.
11:50But back towards Fury.
11:51Oh my goodness, they're fighting even after the bell.
11:56Every Wilder right hand, the big right hand.
11:58Well, that's what it is.
11:59And he's landing it, he's landing it.
12:02That's what I'm saying.
12:03And Fury's eating it.
12:04It's crazy to me.
12:06He doesn't know how to just kind of tap that out there.
12:08It comes with everything behind it, just like that.
12:11And he took it.
12:13And another one, and we'll take a look at,
12:15that was a right hook by Fury.
12:17Yes, very nice, probably after the bell.
12:20And they boom, boom.
12:21What excitement here in Las Vegas.
12:24And you know what?
12:26It does something for both fighters' confidence.
12:28Fury, knowing he's taken that right hand
12:31through two rounds and eaten it.
12:33And Wilder knowing he's pretty much
12:34gonna be able to land it at will.
12:36Exactly, so both confidence boosters for each fighter.
12:45Fantastic fight through two rounds so far.
12:47Action, clean punches.
12:50It's been beautiful so far.
12:51Ebbs and flows.
12:54Loving it.
12:55And Kenny Bayless warns about the heads
12:58and not kind of leading with the head.
13:00Round three, Ray Flores, Christina Poncho,
13:02the WBC Heavyweight Championship of the World
13:04is on the line, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder
13:08battling stiff jab again by the Gypsy King.
13:16Jab land to the body there by Fury.
13:19Fury steps in with the jab, but now it's blocked by Wilder.
13:22Both men with very entertaining ring marks.
13:26The right hand!
13:28Wilder got clipped.
13:29Stop, stop, stop!
13:30But why did Fury hold?
13:33Listen to me!
13:34He's smothering his punches.
13:35You hear me?
13:36Could it have been started from Deontay Wilder?
13:40Could he have engaged the clinch?
13:43A right hand that connects by Fury.
13:45Ooh, Wilder just missed that right hand right there, Ray.
13:48Nearly inches Christina as a minute has come off the clock
13:54in the third round.
13:57Oh, oh, oh, stop, stop, stop, step back.
13:59There we go.
14:00And Kenny Bayless will step in between the two.
14:05It was Deontay Wilder.
14:07A right hand by Fury.
14:09That landed more jabs and threw more jabs
14:13in fight number one.
14:14And it has been Tyson Fury who's worked
14:17and landed the jab perfectly here in fight number two.
14:20There's a right hand by Wilder, they're coming forward.
14:23Seems to me, though, Christina,
14:25like Wilder is breathing heavy,
14:27at least from this standpoint.
14:29Blood streaming a little bit from the mouth of Wilder.
14:35But the champion has dealt with the likes
14:37of Luis Ortiz and he's been in some tough predicaments.
14:43Wilder won the world title here in January of 2015.
14:47A right hand by Fury.
14:48Oh, oh, oh, stop, stop, stop, fellas.
14:50There we go, step back.
14:51Coming up on a minute to go here in the third.
14:55And so far, no ill remnants of that cut
14:58by Fury against Arovali.
15:01Work out, work out.
15:02And I know everything that Fury does,
15:04the crowd goes crazy.
15:05There's no hiding the fact that this is a pro Fury crowd.
15:09But so far, he has been able to impose his will,
15:13particularly with a punch as simple as the jab
15:16and win the first couple rounds.
15:18A right hand down goes Wilder.
15:20Wilder.
15:21Down goes Wilder.
15:23He's knocked down.
15:24Oh my goodness.
15:27Seven.
15:28Eight.
15:32Can Tyson Fury finish off Deontay Wilder?
15:36A right hand, Wilder is hurt.
15:38Wilder's legs are not underneath him.
15:41Wilder is in huge trouble.
15:45No knockdown.
15:47No knockdown.
15:48He's gotta get out of this round, right?
15:50He bought himself some time right there.
15:52Something about the legs of Deontay Wilder isn't working.
15:56His legs are gone underneath him.
15:58Wow.
15:59This is a moment for Deontay Wilder.
16:04Wow.
16:04You said it, Ray.
16:05You said he learned fatigue.
16:07Wait a minute, Christina.
16:08The ear is bleeding.
16:10So the equilibrium may be off.
16:13The ear is bleeding to Deontay Wilder.
16:15He may have busted his eardrum.
16:19Wow.
16:20What a great observation, Ray.
16:23There he goes.
16:24That punch right there, I've done it.
16:25When he winced, when he went down
16:27with that big right hand from Tyson Fury.
16:29He may have shattered his eardrum, Christina,
16:32with that right hand.
16:35Look at Wilder again.
16:36The right hand that connected for Fury
16:40and he may have busted the eardrum of Deontay Wilder.
16:46Wow.
16:54Wow.
16:58So, Wilder was knocked down in the third.
17:05We'll see if Wilder can regain his composure.
17:08A punch to the back of the head.
17:13They're gonna get a warning here
17:14to keep this clean right now.
17:15I'm a star detective points.
17:17You hear me?
17:18I'm a star detective points.
17:20But if you keep going, that's what I say.
17:22Time in.
17:24Time in.
17:27Deontay Wilder put down in the third.
17:31I believe the first time he's ever been down in his career.
17:40We'll see if Wilder can connect.
17:43And here comes Fury again.
17:45Fury looks tremendous here.
17:47The champion facing adversity is Deontay Wilder.
17:51Oh, and down goes Wilder.
17:53Oh, and knocked down.
17:55But Wilder's legs are still wiggling.
18:02And he's still bleeding out of that left ear
18:05as Fury lands a shot to the body right there.
18:08Deontay Wilder, don't forget,
18:10still has that one-hitter quiddle.
18:12Still has that right hand.
18:13Right to the body by Fury.
18:15Big right hand by Fury to the body.
18:18Deontay Wilder has to dig deep.
18:20Oh, another right hand.
18:23And it's time for Fury.
18:39Halfway mark on the floor.
18:46The first time Wilder has ever been knocked down.
18:50Or he was down, this is the second time
18:53he's been down.
18:53He was down almost 10 years ago.
18:55A sweeping right hand, and look at Fury go.
18:58Fury is trying to put on to Deontay Wilder.
19:09Wilder unable to land that home run shot
19:12under a minute to go here in the fourth.
19:14Tyson Fury needs to be careful when he leans in.
19:17He's dropping that left hand.
19:20You know what that means for Deontay Wilder.
19:22It leaves a wide open right hand handing.
19:28So he needs to be very careful
19:30when he leans in and drops that left hand.
19:32Awesome, Wilder bleeding from his mouth.
19:37The second time Deontay Wilder has been down
19:39in his career, a lot of talk about Fury
19:41seeming to be in control thus far.
19:45Work out, work out, work out.
19:48And Wilder seeming to touch each time they get close.
19:54Wilder doesn't seem to be himself,
19:56and it's probably because of the technical brilliance
19:58of Tyson Fury, but it seems like Deontay Wilder
20:01is off in some way physically.
20:03Who knows what a hand by Wilder.
20:05Wilder!
20:06He has to stay the course, he cannot get reckless.
20:11No matter how much success you're having,
20:13and that was one point that he made in the meeting
20:15about how confident he felt early in that first fight.
20:19He allowed himself to get loose, get reckless,
20:21and overconfident, and that's what got Wilder in trouble.
20:31Yes, yes he did it.
20:33That was so good.
20:36Strong jab, right hand just flips there,
20:39nearly misses Deontay Wilder.
20:41But Wilder really not landing very many punches,
20:44and that was an out of reach hit.
20:45No punch there connected on that one.
20:47Something about the legs though, Christina,
20:50does not seem right with Deontay Wilder,
20:53and he gained a lot of his power punching from his legs.
20:57So there's something in the legs that I can't pinpoint,
21:01but it doesn't seem right from the champion.
21:04But for Tyson Fury, he looks exceptional.
21:08And they're ready to go before even Teddy Baylis
21:10can let the bell ring here.
21:13Tyson Fury, this would be the biggest win.
21:15A right hand hit by the staggered Wilder.
21:18Fury going on the attack.
21:20He feels like he has Wilder hurt.
21:22Stop, stop, no.
21:24And a right for Fury, or for Wilder.
21:32Tyson Fury is pitching nearly a perfect game, Christina.
21:38Inside work, a right hand by Fury.
21:42Teddy Baylis steps in between the two.
21:47Wilder seems exhausted.
21:51Oh my goodness, he seems just out of it.
21:54He cannot keep his balance.
21:55His feet are not steady.
21:57His feet are not set.
21:58And again, like I said, the right hand
22:01that connected on the left ear
22:02may have affected the equilibrium of Deontay Wilder.
22:06Is he fighting off pure instinct right now?
22:09It's probably on sheer guts and determination.
22:16Mouth open.
22:18Wilder is exhausted.
22:19Fury down goes Wilder again
22:22for the second time in the fight.
22:25Four, five, six, seven, eight.
22:31This corner may have to make a decision.
22:33This is going to be potentially the biggest win
22:38for Tyson Fury if he can dethrone
22:41the WBC heavyweight champion of the world.
22:47What a moment for the Gypsy King, Deontay Wilder.
22:51He can't even stand up.
22:52Teddy Baylis needs to take a good look at this.
22:56We have 70 seconds remaining here in the fifth round.
23:01Wilder cannot keep himself upright.
23:04He's lumbering and stumbling.
23:08And clenching every time Fury gets close.
23:12Fury needs to give himself a little bit of distance to work
23:15and get back to using that jab and set up his right hand.
23:19An uppercut by Fury.
23:21Wilder looking for that big shot,
23:23but he is literally on wobbly legs.
23:26Fury going to the body of Wilder.
23:31Fury has two knockdowns in the fight.
23:33He cannot get careless and reckless.
23:36What have I done?
23:38This place is going to explode
23:42if Fury can stop Deontay Wilder.
23:47One point.
23:48He just lost a point.
23:50Teddy Baylis, one point.
23:53One point.
23:54All right, keep it clean.
23:56Wow.
23:57Wow.
24:03Fury going on the offensive.
24:06But one point deducted.
24:10There's a right to the body by Fury.
24:12And what that does is that helps one of those knockdowns.
24:16A right hand by Fury.
24:18Fury swarming Wilder.
24:19Back comes Wilder.
24:21Wilder with a set up by Fury.
24:24Away we go.
24:27Wow.
24:35Yes.
24:45Yes.
24:54So we're seeing that there is blood
24:57from streaming from the left ear of Deontay Wilder.
25:02I think, Christina, he has a busted eardrum.
25:04And that affects your balance and your equilibrium.
25:07I know we are not doctors, obviously,
25:10but there is definitely something wrong
25:12with the balance and stability of Deontay Wilder.
25:15And there is blood continuously pouring from that left ear,
25:20from a right hand of Tyson Fury in round two.
25:23Yes, absolutely correct.
25:25And starting the sixth round,
25:28we'll see if the champion can reassert himself,
25:31but he still seems to be having issues with his balance.
25:37What a jab and here comes Fury.
25:39Fury swarming Wilder.
25:41Fury looking for the finish.
25:43Fury wants to erase the memories of that draw
25:48in December of 2018.
25:50And that was a punch on the back of the head right there.
25:52No warning given right there.
25:54We need to keep a close eye on some of those punches.
25:56Boom and a right hand lands by Tyson Fury.
26:00Fury is crowding Wilder.
26:02And Wilder, it seems, is having issues
26:05with the physicality of Tyson Fury.
26:10A completely dominant performance to this point.
26:13But don't forget, anything can happen.
26:15It is a heavyweight division.
26:17It is the hardest punch in boxing.
26:19It is Deontay Wilder's right hand.
26:21They have to keep going minute by minute, round by round.
26:24And Wilder has the highest knockout percentage
26:26in heavyweight history.
26:28Fury with a right to the body.
26:30Coming upstairs.
26:32Wilder languishing on the ropes.
26:35As a minute 10 has come off the clock in this sixth round.
26:39Stop, stop, stop, stop.
26:40The problem is gonna be that Fury,
26:43or excuse me, that Wilder derives that power
26:45for his right hand from his legs
26:47and his legs are not there.
26:49He hasn't had his legs underneath him
26:51since that of the second round.
26:54And Tyson Fury is fighting absolutely marvelous.
26:58This is the fight of his life.
27:00And now Fury pouring it on.
27:02We're over the halfway mark of the sixth.
27:05Fury inside.
27:06Look at them battle on the inside
27:08like true prize fighters.
27:09Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
27:10Blood coming out of the mouth
27:12of Deontay Wilder, the champion,
27:14being pushed to the limit
27:16like he never has before in his career.
27:18Workout, workout, workout.
27:20Tyson Fury taking heavy breaths there.
27:21Watch your elbows.
27:23As he takes a break from that exchange.
27:25Mind you, Tyson-
27:26A right hand by Fury, or for Wilder.
27:29Oh!
27:30They both exchanged.
27:31Big balls right here at the last minute of round six.
27:35And if you're Deontay Wilder,
27:36you gotta be thinking,
27:38let me see if I can drag this out to the eighth of the night
27:40because Fury now is slowing down to a point.
27:43That's it.
27:44Christina.
27:47Wilder is having issues with his balance.
27:49He held on to the top rope for a few seconds.
27:53So much was made in the build-up of this fight
27:55about what was gonna be the result of the cut over Fury.
27:59Who would have thought it would be the blood
28:01from Deontay Wilder's left ear
28:04that would be causing issues in this fight.
28:06Unbelievable turn of events.
28:08And now Fury sort of talking to Deontay Wilder
28:12by the moments of the sixth
28:15as blood streaming from the left ear of Deontay Wilder.
28:19This equilibrium!
28:20Oh!
28:22Oh!
28:28And so nothing can happen.
28:29This wasn't necessarily what we were referring to.
28:32No, we were not, but-
28:33Hold it, hold it.
28:34Christina, we mentioned
28:36that any result was possible.
28:39And right now, Deontay Wilder
28:42has his back against the wall.
28:44This is a chance to kill Fury.
28:46has his back against the wall with the man in Tyson Fury
28:51who believes that he is limits away from claiming
28:55the heavyweight championship of the world.
28:58What a lawyer Deontay Wilder is.
29:00Many men would have succumbed after the second,
29:03not Deontay Wilder.
29:05I mean, this is amazing what he's able to do right now,
29:09knowing, I mean, looking at his legs,
29:11how steady they are, how much his equilibrium is up,
29:14and that extra weight that Tyson Fury has put on
29:18so far has not been a factor.
29:20If anything, it has been a factor in helping
29:23with the power punches he has landed.
29:24Also, that the fact that he is putting his body
29:28on Deontay Wilder.
29:31End of the seventh round right for us,
29:32Christina Potts here in Las Vegas.
29:35Deontay Wilder just seems to be in the mindset
29:38he's looking for an opening,
29:39but boy, could he use a big right hand now.
29:42Left hook by Fury as he swarms by Wilder.
29:49There's a right hand by Wilder,
29:52but it was clocked as Fury charging forward.
29:59Maybe a little bit of a veteran tactic there,
30:01trying to come up closer.
30:02There's a left hook by Wilder.
30:05You're absolutely right, Christina.
30:07Fury is closing the distance,
30:09and he is putting his body weight on Wilder.
30:12Wilder needs to stay away from the ropes.
30:14A right hand, it's team.
30:16End of the seventh round, this round is over.
30:20Tyson Fury has become the new WBC Heavyweight Champion
30:27of the world.
30:28As the corner has thrown in the towel,
30:31there is a new champion, and his name is Tyson Fury.
30:36What a moment.
30:41Deontay's saying, why did you stop it?
30:43Why did you stop it?
30:44J.D.'s and Mark Breland threw in the towel.
30:49It is over.
30:50Unbelievable, as the Gypsy King
30:55is the new Heavyweight Champion of the world.
31:02Wow.
31:07What a moment for Tyson Fury.
31:11It wasn't an illegal punch.
31:13It wasn't a low blow.
31:15It wasn't a freak injury.
31:16It was caused by a punch, a legal blow.
31:19What we are assuming is a busted right or left eardrum
31:23from Deontay Wilder.
31:25He continued to put on the pressure and finished him.
31:29What a moment for Tyson Fury.
31:32And now there is a new king in the heavyweight division,
31:36and he is the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury.
31:39And at the end of the day, Deontay Wilder is a husband.
31:42He is a father.
31:43He is a son, and his corner's prime responsibility
31:47is to look out for the health and safety of their fighter.
31:50And they did an exceptional job.
31:53Mark Breland, as Wilder went over to the corner,
31:56he looked at his corner and he said,
31:58why did you do it?
32:00And then Mark Breland said, look, your ear.
32:02I cannot have this happening.
32:04There is a rematch clause in this fight.
32:06Yes.
32:07They could do it again.
32:08If he can live to fight another day,
32:10he said, why did you do that?
32:11Why did you do that?
32:12Mark Breland said, your ear.
32:14Your ear is busted.
32:18What a moment for Tyson Fury.
32:22And the fans here, they are electric, but they're stunned.
32:29Absolutely stunned as Tyson Fury has dethroned Deontay Wilder.
32:39My goodness.
32:41But as you pointed out, this is not the last meeting
32:47because we heard that the loser has a rematch clause.
32:51And if I'm Deontay Wilder, I'm saying, you know what?
32:53I had my eardrum busted through the last six rounds
32:57of this fight before it got stopped.
32:59I wasn't at a hundred percent because of that.
33:01Kudos to you.
33:02You did cause the injury, but let's do it again.
33:05Absolutely.
33:06One more time.
33:07Absolutely.
33:09I have to tell you that everyone here in Las Vegas is stunned.
33:13There was initial adulation, but now everyone is absolutely
33:18stunned as we cannot believe what we just witnessed.
33:24The man who believed was Tyson Fury.
33:27And here is how the fight ended.
33:32This continued to happen round after round.
33:35Deontay Wilder backs himself up into a corner,
33:38a barrage of punches from Tyson Fury.
33:41This time, though, his corner had seen enough.
33:43They threw in the towel, and it was a right hand right there,
33:47but it was just the punches.
33:49He could not defend himself anymore, Ray.
33:51Deontay Wilder didn't seem like himself after the second round.
33:55And Tyson Fury, what a moment for him,
33:58the 31-year-old from coming from what he dealt with.
34:03And again, taking a look at it again, Fury with the right hand,
34:07boom, smacking off the left side of the head of Tyson Fury.
34:11And look at that, the respect between both men.
34:16They trash talk, but they certainly do respect
34:20and admire one another.
34:23And let's take another look
34:25at how this unfolded here in Las Vegas.
34:32♪
34:35Ladies and gentlemen, we have the time of one minute,
34:3839 seconds in round number seven.
34:42Our referee in charge, Kenny Bayless,
34:44recognizes the request to the corner and stops the contest.
34:49He is the winner by way of technical knockout.
34:53He is still the undefeated lineal heavyweight champion
34:58and the new WBC heavyweight champion of the world,
35:04the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury!
35:12Tyson Fury, the new heavyweight champion of the world.
35:19What a performance.
35:21Congratulations to Team Fury.
35:24He said that he could not have sacrificed anything more
35:28in this training camp, gave everything that he had.
35:31And tonight he is walking away with the one belt
35:34he was never able to capture,
35:36the WBC heavyweight world title.
35:40And Tyson Fury,
35:43he said he was gonna stop Deontay Wilder.
35:46He lived up to his promise.
35:49I know Deontay Wilder is devastated right now.
35:54Let's take a look at the end of the fight, Christina.
35:56Right hands in abundance from Tyson Fury.
35:59Who would have known it's the right hand from Tyson Fury?
36:02It was that jab hand, that jab from the opening bell
36:06that started to cause problems even before the,
36:10what we're presuming is the ear drum injury from Tyson.
36:16And we'll see the towel come in right there
36:18from Mark Breeland and J.D.'s.
36:20Very wise move on their behalf.
36:22And Deontay Wilder, obviously,
36:24he was telling Kenny Bayless, why didn't you do it?
36:26Here's J.D.'s as he's watching it.
36:29And let's take a look at who threw it in.
36:32Breeland did, yep.
36:34And Breeland threw it in and he had seen enough.
36:37And again, from the overhead camera,
36:39that right, right, boom, down the pipe.
36:48Absolute pandemonium.
36:50Absolute pandemonium.
37:17Look at it again.
37:20As Fury poured it on.
37:27And there is the new heavyweight champion of the world.
37:32And his name is Tyson Fury.
37:39Fury talking with Mauricio Suleman.
37:42And my goodness, and Bernardo Osuna
37:44standing by with Deontay Wilder.
37:47First off, how are you?
37:49I'm doing good, you know.
37:51Things like this happen.
37:53The best man won tonight, but my trent, my coat,
37:57my side threw in the tower.
38:00And you know, I'm ready to go out on my shield, man.
38:02You know what I'm saying?
38:03I had a lot of things going on coming into this fight,
38:05but it is what it is.
38:07You know, I was already, my leg was already re-coming in
38:12due to other little things.
38:13But you know, I make no excuses tonight.
38:16I just wish that my corner would have let me
38:19go out on my shield.
38:19I'm a warrior, and that's what I do.
38:21You know what I'm saying?
38:22But he did what he did.
38:24There's no excuses, and we come back even stronger.
38:27They did something to protect you,
38:29which is their job, which is important.
38:31Now, how do you recover from something
38:33like what happened tonight?
38:35I mean, even the greatest, even the greatest
38:38came back, you know what I'm saying?
38:39That's just part of it.
38:40And you just, you take it for what it is.
38:43You know what I'm saying?
38:44I can't make no excuses tonight.
38:46Got a lot of complications.
38:48Like I said, we come back even stronger
38:50the next time around.
38:51You know, this is what big time boxing is all about.
38:53The best must fight the best.
38:55I just appreciate all the fans that came out tonight
38:58and support the show.
38:59And I hope everybody goes back home
39:02and get back home safely.
39:03Thank you very much, Deontay.
39:04We wish you the best, and we'll speak
39:06to the champion momentarily, Joe.
39:08So, Deontay Wilder, let's take a look at,
39:10boom, there's that right hand,
39:12as Wilder went to the canvas.
39:14But, Christina, he said that he came into the fight
39:18already dealing with some issues.
39:20And there was the knockdown.
39:23That was the punch that could have possibly
39:27ruptured that eardrum in the third round.
39:30It was a right hand by Tyson Fury.
39:33But if I heard Deontay correctly in that interview,
39:37he said that his leg was already wrecked,
39:39or he was dealing with something with his legs.
39:41Of course, it's the best training camp they've ever had.
39:43You just did.
39:44You said it, you called it, and you made it happen.
39:47You know, first and foremost,
39:49I want to say thank you to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
39:53I said those who bring evil against me will not prosper.
39:56I said those who stand in the dark
39:58can never come into the light.
40:00All praise be to the one and only true God, Jesus Christ.
40:05Secondly, I just want to say big shout out to Deontay Wilder.
40:09You know, he came here tonight, he manned up.
40:11He really did show heart of a champion.
40:13I hit him with a clean right hand and dropped him,
40:16and he got back up and battled on into round seven.
40:18He is a warrior.
40:19He will be back.
40:20He will be a champion again.
40:22But I will say the King has returned to the top of the probe.
40:30Big shout out, big shout out, top rank.
40:34Big shout out, Frank Warren, Bob Arum, MTK Global,
40:38Barbea BT, Barbea Dakota UK, Wow Hydrate.
40:42Second of all, I said, I'd sing a song tonight, didn't I?
40:45Yeah!
40:51A long, long time ago, I can still remember
40:56how then music used to make me smile.
40:59Sing along if you know the words.
41:02And I knew if I had my chance,
41:05I could make those people dance
41:07and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
41:12But February made me shiver
41:15with every paper I delivered.
41:18Bad news on the doorstep.
41:21I couldn't take one more step.
41:25I can't remember if I cried
41:27when I read about his widow bride.
41:31Something touched me deep inside.
41:35The day the music died.
41:40All together now.
41:41So bye, bye Miss American Pie.
41:46The cemetery door was all heavy and the levee was dry.
41:50Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye.
41:54Singing this'll be the day that I die.
41:57What?
41:58This'll be the day that I die.
42:01Now, did you believe in rock and roll?
42:05Can music save your mottled soul?
42:08And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
42:14Well, I know that I'm in love with you
42:18cause I saw you dancing in the gym.
42:21We both kicked off our shoes.
42:24Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
42:27Oh, I...
42:29Broken book with a pink heartache shirt and a pickup truck.
42:34See, I knew I was out of luck the day the music died.
42:42Thank you, Las Vegas!
42:47What a moment for the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury.
42:53This victory, Christina, catapults him
42:58into the stratosphere as one of the biggest
43:00stars in sports today.
43:04Hands down.
43:05And, you know, kudos to both fighters
43:07giving respect to one another.
43:11Tyson Fury boxed, used his jab, but the extra weight
43:17seemed to maybe help Tyson Fury.
43:20Did it hurt Deontay Wilder at all?
43:22Well, I think that the extra weight helped Fury.
43:27The extra weight for Wilder may have hindered him.
43:30In my opinion, he didn't seem as fast.
43:33Something about his legs.
43:35I'm going to make an assumption right now
43:37and say that when Wilder got in the ring in that first round,
43:41I watched it and studied a lot of tape on both guys
43:44and we've seen a lot of fight from both.
43:45Wilder didn't seem like himself.
43:48He seemed, you and I were talking about it,
43:49in the first round, he seemed like he was slipping
43:50around the ring.
43:52He could not maintain his proper balance.
43:54I'm not saying that that's the reason why he lost to Fury,
43:58because Fury took the title from him.
43:59However, Wilder did not seem like himself.
44:03And he said in the interview with Bruno,
44:05I had an issue and issues coming into the fight.
44:09And I think he alluded to his leg, if I'm correct.
44:12That is what he said in the ring.
44:15You know, it's just frustrating because you sit in meetings
44:18with these guys and you interview them all the time.
44:20Of course, they're not going to tell you
44:21what's really going on, but you assume both of these guys
44:23are in the best shape of their life.
44:25Injuries happen here and there.
44:27He's had 40 plus fights and no one comes in
44:29technically 100%, but credit to Tyson Fury
44:33for doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
44:36He wasn't going to go box around and dance.
44:37He took it to Deontay Wilder and capitalized on,
