A GENIUS punter won over £3,000 after betting on Tyson Fury to beat Deontay Wilder in round seven on Saturday night.
The confident gambler took to Twitter to share a screenshot of his longshot bet just moments after the British boxer’s sensational win.
One lucky punter won over £3,000 on Fury’s win over Wilder
Fury, 31, fought brilliantly as he stopped the Bronze Bomber in the seventh round to become world champion for the second time.
The Gypsy King got his hands on the WBC belt in Los Angeles – but will now turn his attention to his next fight, possibly against Anthony Joshua.
But while Fury mulls over his next move, gambler John McIntyre was revelling in a stunning piece of work of his own.
Ahead of the eagerly-anticipated fight, McIntyre put £75 on Fury to beat Wilder in the seventh round at 40/1.
And after dominating the fight from the opening bell, the punter was left to sweat as the fight entered round seven.
PAY-DAY
Fortunately for McIntyre, he earned a monster pay-day of £3,075 after Wilder’s corner threw in the towel that very round to bring a halt to the processional beating.
While the confident gambler celebrated, Wilder was left fuming at the decision of his team.
But no one else in the MGM Grand could have had any arguments – with two of the judges giving EVERY ROUND to Fury.
Wilder, 34, was battered from pillar to post on a dismal night and was even floored twice.
The Alabama man was taken to hospital after the scrap for a check-up and stitches inside his ear.
Fury had earlier licked the blood around Wilder’s ear earlier in the fight in a real show of confidence.
While Fury is weighing up who to fight next – clearly targeting a £100million fight with Joshua after his “Nigeria” gumshield stunt – his dad, John, has other ideas.
The Gypsy King’s father hopes Tyson hangs up his gloves and dedicates his life to his family – saying he’s “done enough”.
But Dillian Whyte is hopeful of landing a shot first, saying he “deserves” his chance.
