      Fury, 33, had the crowd lapping up his every move as he sang along to AC DC classic You Shook Me All Night Long.
      And Paris clearly loved it too as she cracked into a huge smile and nodded her approval in an undeniable look of love.
      The mum of six was caught on camera as she took her ringside seat looking stunning in a sparkly blue dress.
      Tyson’s wife may well have been feeling some nerves, as would be normal when your spouse is about to step into the ring with a man as dangerous as Deontay Wilder.
      And those fears will have only increased when Fury was TWICE knocked to the canvas by the Bronze Bomber.
      But the WBC belt is heading back to Morecambe, after the town’s most high-profile resident overcame adversity to knock Wilder out in the 11th round of an instant heavyweight classic.

      Speaking to iFL TV after the fight, Paris had a few choice words for her man’s bitter rival: “Clearly he [Wilder] is a tough man, but he’s not tough enough.
      “Three times [in a row] now. Maybe he’ll shut up now, go home and go to bed. I’ll be polite but we don’t want to hear that man’s name again.”
      Laughing to camera, Paris, 31, added: “Let him go and do something else, do something else that he’s good at. He’s not good at boxing clearly.”
      Fury twice hit the deck during the fourth round of the Sin City contest, and Paris revealed how difficult it was to witness.
      She said: “It’s no good, it’s not nice to watch. It’s horrible. It’s a horrible, horrible situation.”
      Following proceedings at T-Mobile Arena, Paris and Tyson, joined by young brother Tommy, partied the night away at the glitzy Hakkasan nightclub.

      He said: “I took him up into his room, he’s seen a doctor afterwards.
      “Everything’s cool… he busted his lip, he broke his hand, broke his finger, knuckle, something like that.
      “But life goes on.”

      “I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 pounds to be a ballet dancer.
      “He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”
      Reflecting on the trilogy, Scott admitted that he wants Wilder to take a long break from boxing.
      He said: “I really don’t want Deontay talking about boxing or doing anything with boxing for quite some time.
      “I want him to get some good rest, especially after this.
      “Even after the last fight he was so worked up. So worked up over the time, and in training and was so excited and so happy to win the arbitration.
      “He really never got to rest, he deserved a good rest. I’m gonna make sure he gets it.”

      by

      AFTER six rounds of heavyweight action in Las Vegas Tyson Fury was TRAILING Deontay Wilder on the judges scorecards. The Gypsy King knocked out Wilder in the eleventh, but was losing on points at the halfway stage.

      The scorecards revealed all three American judges to have Fury narrowly down 56-55 at the end of the sixth.
      Dave Moretti, Tim Cheatham and Steve Weisfeld gave Fury three out of the first six, but because he was knocked down twice in the fourth he lost that round 10-7.
      After the halfway stage though The Gypsy King came into his own.
      Moretti and Weisfeld both gave Fury ALL of the following rounds until the knockout, while Cheatham did the same – apart from bizarrely scoring the ninth in favour of Wilder.
      By the time of the stoppage Moretti had it 95-91, Cheatham closer at 94-92 and Weisfeld at 95-92.
      Although strangely Weisfeld seemingly missed Fury knocking down Wilder in the tenth.

      He called it a 10-9 round to Fury instead of 10-8, despite the knockdown.
      Despite being down on the scorecards at the halfway stage, Fury assured fans he wasn’t hurt after his multiple down by Wilder.
      He said: “He caught me, he caught me twice in the fourth round. But I was never thinking ‘oh this is over’.
      “I was thinking ‘okay good shot but I will get you back in a minute’ and I did.
      “I was very conscious, saw the ref go three…four, and I was always there.
      “He shook me, he put me down and that’s boxing and it’s life as well but it’s not how many times you get put down or how many times you lose.
      “It’s about how you come back and keep moving forward, like Rocky said you’ve got to keep moving forward in a positive manner and keep fighting.”

      by

      Tyson Fury chatted with Lennox Lewis backstage having just gotten out of the shower
      Fury had only just stepped out the shower after washing Wilder’s blood from his body when Lewis appeared.
      The Gypsy King was wearing only a hat and shorts as the two heavyweight greats shared a few words after Fury’s epic knockout in his trilogy fight with the Bronze Bomber.
      In a video posted to Frank Warren’s Twitter account, Lewis approaches Fury and says: “Unbelievable, great fight.
      “You showed great heart, great determination and ring IQ. Great job, enjoy it.”
      And Fury joked with the three-time world heavyweight champion: “You can’t go swimming and not get wet!”
      He then thanked the 56-year-old saying: “Thank you Lennox I really appreciate it, God bless you.”

      Lewis won 41 out of his 44 bouts as a professional, beating the likes of Vitali Klitschko, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield in a glittering career.
      And the London-born fighter liked what he saw at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
      He told Boxing Social: “Oh my God, what a fight. We saw the first fight and it was an amazing fight. We saw the second fight, even more amazing.
      “The third was the cap. A great fight by both guys. Tyson Fury obviously came out the victor.
      “Tough, back and forth, back and forth. I mean, you could tell they both wanted it, and you could tell they had a lot of heart and they’re both soldiers. Great fight, I’m really happy with it.”
      Lewis then went on to label Fury the ‘king’ of the heavyweight division.
      When asked about a potential unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk, Lewis gushed: “I think it would be a great fight. Tyson is really big and 6’9. How tall is Usyk?
      “It’s going to be a difficult fight for him, but Tyson is a great fighter and a great champion. I think he’s the king of the division right now.”

      Tyson Fury reveals feud with Deontay Wilder is ‘actually done’ & there’s ‘no rematch clause’ after epic trilogy victory

      by

      TYSON FURY has declared that his legendary rivalry with Deontay Wilder is “actually done”.Fury cemented his legacy as the greatest heavyweight boxer of his era after beating Wilder in an 11-round thriller in Las Vegas.

      The Gypsy King shook off two knockdowns and then knocked his nemesis out with a powerful punch to complete his trilogy with the Bronze Bomber.
      The British superstar praised his fallen opponent after the match but made it clear there is no rematch clause.
      Fury told BBC Sport: “It was a great trilogy, and he is a good dance partner for trilogies.
      “Wilder’s been a good dance partner but there’s no rematch clause. It’s actually done.”
      Fury is now mandated to take on the victor of Dillian Whyte’s clash with Otto Wallin.
      The match, however, is contingent on the undefeated heavyweight being unable to strike a deal to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title within 30 days.

      But with Anthony Joshua officially exercising his rematch clause against Usyk, the winner of Whyte vs Wallin is now guaranteed the next shot at the undisputed WBC strap.
      In the meantime, the 33-year-old bruiser is enjoying his historic victory as well as his winning record, which has extended to 31 victories.
      Fury added: “I’m very proud of my performance and the victory tonight.

      “I was given this victory by God again and I’m really, really thankful for it.
      “There were some shaky moments in there, but I never lost faith and I continued on, and I carried on and persevered, and I got that single punch knockout .
      “You know, as soon as I landed it I jumped on the ropes, I knew it was over, he wasn’t getting back up from that.”

      Tyson Fury reveals he ‘nearly broke ankle’ after knocking down Deontay Wilder & admits ‘he wasn’t all there’ in epic win

      by

      TYSON FURY stopped Deontay Wilder with a brutal eleventh round knockout in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The Gypsy King also had Wilder down in the third and the tenth, and has claimed he nearly BROKE his ankle in doing so.

      After dropping the Bronze Bomber to the canvas for the first time in the third round Fury tripped and almost fell over his huge 6ft 9in frame.
      He seemed to roll his ankle nastily and was lucky not to end up on the deck next to the stricken Wilder.
      And the 33-year-old has revealed the fight could have over barely before it started – but not because of a knockout blow.
      Fury confessed, via iFL TV: “When I hit him with an uppercut, bang in the first [third] round, dropped him, I nearly broke my ankle.
      “I went over on my ankle, my ankle’s hurt.”
      Fury also went on to claim that he was far from his best in front of the 20,000 fans roaring him on at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

      The Gypsy King admitted: “Today wasn’t my greatest night. Two years out the ring, wasn’t all there completely.
      “But I still did enough to be victorious and showed heart and b****s like a lion again.”
      The Manchester-born fighter had to twice pick himself up from the canvas in the fourth round and dust himself off to finally put an end to Wilder’s epic resistance in the eleventh.
      Wilder showed heroic courage to withstand some mind-boggling blows from Fury but the Briton finally scored the deciding blow in the penultimate round of the bout.
      And despite being put down twice in the fourth, Fury insisted he was not hurt at any point.
      After winning Fury was asked what was going through his head when he was floored by Wilder.
      The Gypsy King replied: “Not a great deal. You going swimming and you’re going to get wet.
      “He caught me, he caught me twice in the fourth round. But I was never thinking ‘oh this is over’.
      “I was thinking ‘okay good shot but I will get you back in a minute’ and I did.
      “I was very conscious, saw the ref go three…four, and I was always there.”

      Tyson Fury says he feels SORRY for his opponents and roars ‘I’m the best fighter of my generation’ after Wilder win

      by

      TYSON FURY’s brutal knockout of Deontay Wilder left the Gypsy King feeling sorry for his opponents. The 33-year-old remains unbeaten in 32 professional bouts and he labelled himself as the ‘best fighter’ of his day afterwards.

      And he then made the claims in a post fight press conference alongside trainer Sugar Hill StewardCredit: Reuters
      The Gypsy King defended his WBC and Lineal heavyweight titles in Las Vegas after twice getting up from the canvas in the fourth round to floor Wilder in the eleventh.
      He will now be ordered to face the winner of Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin – meaning a fight for the ages against Anthony Joshua doesn’t seem close.
      And Fury has claimed he ‘feels sorry’ for anybody who has to fight him following Saturday night’s textbook knockout.
      In a video posted to Twitter by Top Rank Boxing and Premier Boxing Champions, Fury labels himself as a ‘generational’ fighter as he sits with barely a scratch on him.
      The Gypsy King declared: “I can only be the best fighter of my day, and I’ve done that.
      “I’m the best fighter of my era.

      “I’m the generation fighter, I actually feel sorry for all these guys who have had to fight me.
      “Because I’m in the dressing room at home I’m not nervous – you know it’s a boxing fight to me.
      “I feel sorry for them because they’re fighting the fighter of the generation, that’s for sure.”
      His two wins against Wilder as well as his incredible victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 have confirmed Fury’s place in boxing’s history books.
      And from the press conference Gypsy King Fury was quick to start partying.
      He was seen dancing shirtless alongside brother Tommy Fury in a Las Vegas nightclub.
      He wowed the crowd with a rendition of American Pie – a Fury favourite he performed in the ring following his last win against Wilder.
      The Gypsy King then belted out Sweet Caroline and ACDC’s TNT to go with the rendition of Walking In Memphis he sang in the ring following his victory.
      Fury had already proved he meant business pre-fight by giving Wilder the ‘crazy eyes’ seconds before the first bell sounded.
      The chilling stare sent shivers down the spines of people watching at home, but backs up Fury’s post fight claims about his status in the sport.
