Tyson Fury Destroys Deontay Wilder In Seven-Round Knockout To Emerge As WBC Heavyweight Champion

Disaster struck Deontay Wilder's career and Tyson Fury happened to be his conquest who stopped his unbeaten run in a seven-round knockout in Las Vegas on Saturday. Fury is now the reigning WBC heavyweight champion having won the rematch.

Wilder was the first fighter Fury took on on his comeback from retirement that lasted for almost three years and that match ended in a controversial draw leading to a rematch to be triggered. Last night, the rematch was masterly controlled by the British boxer, who floored the former WBC title twice before his team threw in the towel to call off the fight in seven-round.

Ahead of the fight, Fury had promised he would knock Wilder out but that could only be taken as bluffing as the American had the praise of everyone with the notion that he is the heaviest puncher around. Sadly, he was left with a bloodied face by the acclaimed Gypsy King.

It could only be a disappointing rematch fight for Wilder to be looking completely spent whilst Fury was full of energy and ready for more rounds.

The first knockdown Wilder got was in the third round with a right hook to the back of his head and then the fifth round, at this time Wilder's legs were completed tired and his hands are loosely, thus, Fury landed another right hook on his jaw and a left hook on his waist, that combination sent Wilder straight on the floor. By this time, Fury was halfway done with Wilder.

Entering into the seventh round, Wilder's corner must have thought of calling off the fight should he go down again, but he did not only that Fury had him brutally mashed with punches in the corner and they simply surrender to a knockout. Fury's hand was raised by the referee announcing him as the winner.

However, the fight could enter into a trilogy as Fury's promoter Frank Warren had announced that there is a clause in the deal that allows for a trilogy should anyone of the fighters is not satisfied with losing.
