Wilder looked worse for wear after taking 82 punches from the 6ft 9in traveller at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The American claimed before the showdown that the Gypsy King had “pillow fists”, but this picture proves otherwise.
It shows the exact moment that Fury landed a huge right hook on his jaw before he snatched his WBC heavyweight belt.
Fans likened Wilder to Manchester United star Jones – who is renowned for his hilarious facial expressions.
One said: “Phil Jones would be proud.”
Another added: “Wilder channelling his inner Phil Jones.”
Alongside six laughing emojis, one Twitter user wrote: “Phil Jones has nothing on Deontay Wilder.”

But others were more concerned that Wilder will not be able to unlock his phone using face ID for a few weeks.
Wilder was outclassed from the off before his corner threw in the towel in the seventh round – much to his disbelief.
The 34-year-old missed his post-fight press conference amid reports claiming was he en route to hospital after the devastating defeat.
