Deontay Wilder’s last fight
Tyson Fury came out on top in one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing by recovering from two knockdowns to beat Deontay Wilder.
Wilder was battered down in the third and it looked like another early night for the American.
However, the 36-year-old former WBC champion rallied incredibly to drop Fury twice in a magnificent fourth round.
But Fury survived a terrifying fourth-round battering to KO his nemesis in round 11 in spectacular style on a wild Las Vegas night.
Who is on the undercard?
Caleb Plant takes on Anthony Dirrell in a huge co-main event.
Plant is a former IBF super-middleweight champion, while Dirrell is a two-time WBC super-middleweight champ.
Plant was last in the ring last November, in a losing effort to Canelo Alvarez.
