    And hours after sending Wilder to the canvas for a third and final time at Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Fury could be seen living it up at the glitzy Hakkasan nightclub.
    Taking his place in the DJ booth alongside pal Steve Aoki, a shirtless Fury serenaded the crowd with a selection of his now famous victory songs.
    First on the karaoke playlist was American Pie – a Fury favourite he has performed in the ring following previous wins.
    The 33-year-old then belted out versions of Sweet Caroline and ACDC’s TNT to go with the rendition of Walking In Memphis he sang in the ring hours earlier.
    It wasn’t long before Fury was then up on the DJ booth, sending the crowd into a frenzy with some shadow boxing and long-limbed dance moves.
    Fury was joined at the Hakkasan venue by his brother Tommy and wife Paris, and the rest of his sparring squad.

    Hakkasan played host to Fury’s previous victory celebrations after his first win over Wilder back in February last year.
    Aoki was also on the decks that night as he played chief cheerleader in the Fury entourage.
    While the victor danced the night away, Wilder was sent to hospital for precautionary checks following the savage beating he took on Saturday.
    The Bronze Bomber was on the floor three times despite scoring two knockdowns of his own and he ultimately had no match for the Brit’s power.

    Fans mock Deontay Wilder on social media over brutal loss to Tyson Fury and American’s excuses before AND after fight

    TYSON Fury’s savage knockout of Deontay Wilder has sent fans on social media into a frenzy. The Gypsy King stopped Wilder in the eleventh round at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

    The final blow sent Wilder sprawling to the canvas, with fans quick to use the image of him on the floor at his expense.
    Creative fans have been crafting hilarious memes mocking the Bronze Bomber following Fury’s mammoth knockout punch.
    One Twitter user edited a teddy bear inside Wilder’s arms as he lay sprawled out on the deck, poking fun at Fury sending his opponent to sleep.
    Another ridiculed Wilder’s face after taking Fury’s punches, taunting the Bronze Bomber that the facial recognition on his phone is unlikely to work after the vicious knockout.
    Meanwhile others created rib-tickling memes relating to the Netflix sensation Squid Game.
    One showed Wilder being held up by the character Ali – in what is a hilarious recreation of one of the scenes from the show.

    The Bronze Bomber was taken to hospital as a precaution after the fight but didn’t have to stay overnight.
    And reacting to a second defeat to Fury the 35-year-old has claimed he doesn’t know ‘what happened’.
    He said: “I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight. I’m not sure what happened.
    “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.”
    Some Wilder fans though have insisted the Bronze Bomber was ‘robbed’ after the referee seemed to allow Fury longer than ten seconds to recover after being knocked down in the fourth.
    One said: “I understand Wilder got outboxed but are we all gonna ignore Fury’s 12 count. Ref says five, stops counting for three seconds, then says six.”
    Another agreed: “If the ref didn’t give Fury 10-year count it would be a different story.”

    Deontay Wilder’s pre-fight ‘s***house move’ to delay Tyson Fury fight backfires spectacularly after he was knocked out

    DEONTAY WILDER’S pre-fight ‘s***-house’ move to delay his bout with Tyson Fury backfired spectacularly. The Bronze Bomber was knocked spark out in the 11th round by the Gypsy King and fans were quick to poke fun at the American’s bizarre pre-fight ritual after the defeat.

    Fury floored the American three times in Las Vegas – with the third and final time bringing their long-running rivalry to a close as the ref waved the fight off.
    Wilder, 35, was well in the contest in the early stages and even had Fury on the deck himself twice in the fourth round before the Alabama ace ran out of steam.
    It was arguably Wilder’s best performance in the trilogy but some post-fight focus was on his antics in the dressing room beforehand.
    As challenger, Wilder had to enter the ring first.
    But live footage showed him dawdling in the dressing room surrounded by his entourage.
    Wilder was seen standing with his team in a silent circle as someone appeared to serenade or preach to the Bronze Bomber who had his head bowed.

    And he also underwent a last-minute change of gloves moments before he was due to walk out.
    While all this was going on, Fury was left in his own changing room, pacing around, bobbing, weaving and playing air guitar.
    When Wilder finally emerged he had ditched the battery-powered 40lbs costume he wore last time out and blamed for sapping his energy.
    Instead he was draped in claret red, the colour he has claimed to favour all week to celebrate his quest for Fury’s blood.
    The mask remained – and it’s that theatrical accessory he claims helps transform him from a loving father-of-eight to the Bronze Bomber who wants a body on his record.
    Meanwhile, Fury arguably won the battle of the ring walks moments later when he walked out dressed as a Spartan soldier to the tune of ACDC’s ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’.
    BT Sport’s commentators labelled Wilder’s move a ‘psychological’ one.
    While fans online were more direct.
    One called them ‘s***-house tactics’.
    Another said: “S***housing, got to love a bit of s***housing.”
    Speaking after his defeat, Wilder said: “I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight. I’m not sure what happened.
    “I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277lbs to be a ballet dancer.
    “He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”

    UFC legend Daniel Cormier BLASTS ref for ‘crazy slow’ count after Tyson Fury was knocked down twice by Deontay Wilder

    DANIEL CORMIER was left fuming after he claimed the ref gave Tyson Fury too much time to recover from a Deontay Wilder knockdown.The UFC legend raged at what he saw as a slow count from Russell Mora with Fury gasping for air on the canvas.
    Tyson Fury took time to compose himself before getting off the canvas
    He was initially floored after Deontay Wilder landed a huge right hand
    Wilder himself had recovered from being knocked down in the third round of their trilogy bout at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
    The Bronze Bomber responded by sending Fury to the deck twice in the fourth – only for The Gypsy King to clamber back to his feet before the 10-count.
    And Cormier hinted at foul play as he watched along with fight fans around the world.
    He tweeted: “The count was crazy slow. (The referee) isn’t supposed to stop counting to tell Deontay to go to his corner.”
    Two huge shots from Wilder sent his opponent to the floor in quick succession but Fury was upright by the count of eight.

    Boxing guidelines state the ref should stop the count if a fighter moves away from his neutral corner.
    After scoring his first knockdown, Wilder was told to go to a neutral corner but instead headed to his own – something that could have delayed the count.
    Cormier was not the only viewer to raise issues with the officiating as Wilder fans leapt to their man’s defence online.
    One video posted online appears to show Fury fall to the canvas and get up ten seconds later – with the ref only counting up to seven in that time.
    The Brit recovered from those early setbacks to knock-out his American rival with a brutal right-hand deep in the 11th round.

    BEST BRIT

    🇬🇧 “There’s a good argument to be had of if Fury is the best British fighter of all time. It’s between him & Lewis.”🔥 “There’s not many people, from any era, that you’d pick to beat Tyson Fury in the ring.

    GYPSY KING
    What a journey Tyson Fury has been on.

    WHYTE NEXT
    Tyson Fury is set to hand Dillian Whyte his long-awaited crack at the WBC heavyweight title after his humdinger with Deontay Wilder, writes CHISANGA MALATA.
    Fury, 33, picked himself up off the canvas twice before sealing a thrilling knockout win over old-rival Wilder in their trilogy bout on Saturday night.
    And the champ is now mandated to take on the victor of Whyte’s clash with Otto Wallin.
    The fight, however, is contingent on Fury 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 with the Ukrainian, the winner of Whyte vs Wallin is now guaranteed the next shot at the undisputed WBC strap.
    FIRE AND FURY
    Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder shared an intense staredown in the middle of the ring before their epic trilogy showdown, writes KOSTAS LIANOS.
    Fury proved he meant business before facing his bitter rival as he gave Wilder some “crazy eyes” that pierced through the soul of many fans watching from home.
    The Bronze Bomber didn’t seem intimidated but boxing enthusiasts didn’t help but feel sorry for the American superstar as they knew the Gypsy King wasn’t going to hold back.
    One fan tweeted: “Dunno about Wilder but that stare from Fury made me s**t bricks.”
    Another wrote: “[Fury] might have the best crazy eyes during staredowns.”
    A third posted: “Fury stare is scary.”

    NO LOVE FROM PARIS
    Paris Fury has followed in husband Tyson’s footsteps by landing some blows of her own on Deontay Wilder.
    The wife of the Gypsy King couldn’t contain her hatred of the Bronze Bomber after the incredible Las Vegas trilogy showdown.
    Having seen her husband win by KO in the 11th round despite himself twice hitting the canvas, Paris, who was ringside for the contest, couldn’t hide her relief.
    And speaking to iFL TV, she had a few 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, who looked stunning in a blue dress, 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.”

    ‘NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED’
    Deontay Wilder has broken his silence after another devastating defeat to Tyson Fury.
    The American heavyweight lost again to his Brit rival after an eleventh-round KO stoppage.
    It came after an epic encounter with FIVE knockdowns, including the Gypsy King being floored twice in the fourth.
    And after being taken to hospital for precaution, Wilder has had his say on one of the best heavyweight bouts ever.
    He also revealed some of Fury’s tactics in the fight, and how the three-stone weight advantage helped.
    The 35-year-old said: “I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight. I’m not sure what happened.
    “I knew that he didn’t come in at 277lbs to be a ballet dancer. He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”

    VOODOO CHILD
    Tyson Fury broke the ‘Versace robe curse’ after defeating Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas.
    Boxing fans had feared the Gypsy King would lose his undefeated record after daring to wear a custom-made Versace robe.
    After all, Conor McGregor lost to Floyd Mayweather after donning a similar outfit.
    And Billy Joe Saunders, a close friend of Fury, also suffered the same fate when he wore a Versace robe ahead of his bout with Canelo Alvarez earlier this year.
    Those results meant the clothing item carried a bit of a curse – but not for Fury.
    The Brit was troubled by Wilder in their third fight, with fans claiming a slow count stopped him from losing in the fourth round.
    But Fury recovered to dominate Wilder before landing an 11th round knockout to retain his WBC world title and lift the Versace curse.

    WILD WEST
    Here in Tyson Fury’s third knockdown, showcasing boxing 101 with an expert roll and counter.
    Both men had been down at that point, but Fury really stamped his authority on the fight.
    He then knocked Wilder out in the next round.

    BALLS OF STEEL
    Eddie Hearn was impressed by what he saw as Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in one of the greatest nights in heavyweight boxing.
    Both men hit the canvas early at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena before Fury sensationally retained his WBC title with a stunning knock-out blow in the 11th round.
    And Anthony Joshua’s promoter Hearn could not help but issue a simple salute to the pair after their blockbuster trilogy bout.
    He tweeted: “Great fight! Big balls from both!”

    ‘FURY’S JUST BETTER’
    Deontay Wilder’s former promoter doubts the Bronze Bomber can ‘come back from two vicious beatings like that’ after he was knocked out by Tyson Fury for the second time.
    The Gypsy King scored three knockdowns against the 35-year-old in 11 thrilling rounds on Sunday morning – with the final one closing the show and their rivalry.
    And Lou DiBella – who was Wilder’s promoter between 2015 and 2019 – reckons the Alabama native will struggle to return to the ring given the brutal nature of his most recent losses.
    The 61-year-old tweeted: “I’m not sure that you can come back from two vicious beatings like that in a row. I don’t think so.”

    SCORES SETTLED
    The scorecards for Tyson Fury’s epic trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder have been revealed – with some bizarre results.
    Each one rightly had the Brit winning on the cards by the eleventh-round after three knockdowns in the bout.
    Dave Moretti had it 95-91, Tim Cheatham closer at 94-92 and Steve Weisfeld at 95-92.
    Each scored the third round a 10-8 for Fury after knocking down his opponent early in the fight.
    But it turned on its head in the fourth, with the Gypsy King floored TWICE as the American went in for a shock win.
    All three put that down as a 10-7 to Wilder, in a huge swing of fortunes to a shocked and wild Vegas crowd.
    Fury recovered as he always has throughout his career due to his incredible heart and durability.
    He went on to lose just ONE round over the five on each of the judge’s cards, as he ripped back dominance.
    But it is round ten that has left fans baffled, after Weisfeld called it a 10-9 round to Fury instead of 10-8 despite a knockdown.

    PUNCH STATS
    The CompuBox punch stats revealed Tyson Fury landed 150 punches out of 385 thrown, with an incredible accuracy of 39 per cent.
    Deontay Wilder, who had the Brit down two times in round four, threw 355 but only connected with 355, giving him a 20 per cent accuracy.
    Fury’s trainer Sugarhill Steward pleaded with the Gypsy King to ‘jab the motherf***er’ in order to offset Wilder’s attacks.
    And the WBC champion finished the fight with 36 jabs landing from 117 thrown, with an accuracy of 31 per cent.
    Wilder meanwhile, landed with only NINE jabs from the 102 thrown, meaning he connected with just nine per cent.
    Fury’s power punching is where the fight was decided, landing with 114 of his 268 attempts, ending with 43 per cent accuracy.
    Wilder did land with 63 of the 253 he threw, with an accuracy rate of 25 per cent.

    FURY HAILS VEGAS FANS
    Tyson Fury hailed the packed out Las Vegas crowd, who watched his epic trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder.
    Amid the travel ban to the US, no Brits were allowed Stateside, usually a fixture in Fury’s recent fights.
    But the Gypsy King – who now trains out of Vegas – was still full of praise for those in attendance.
    He said: “It was a great atmosphere the fans were amazing and got their money’s worth.
    “The Brits couldn’t follow out and we could have sold this out 10 times if they could.”

    WILD TURN OF EVENTS
    This is the moment the fight momentarily turned of its head.
    Wilder was down in round three and looked in bad trouble – but a short right hand had Tyson Fury hitting the canvas.
    It paved the way for a rollercoaster fight.

    KNOCKING EM’ DOWN
    Here is a clip of the first knockdown of the fight, in round three from Tyson Fury.
    It was a short right uppercut from Fury which sent Deontay Wilder to the canvas for the first time.
    But credit to Wilder, who got up, did some damage of his own and pushed right till the 11th-round KO.

    USYK PLAYER
    Tyson Fury admitted he has not even given an undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk a thought.
    Usyk stunned Anthony Joshua to claim the unified heavyweight titles from the Brit, and they are now due to rematch.
    But Fury will have a rest and recovery period before he even thinks about fighting the winner.
    He said: “We will see, I have just earned a break, I have been home two weeks in six months so I am going to bask in this victory – I am the big dog in this division.
    “One of the heaviest in history at 277lbs. We will just see what tomorrow brings.”

    WILDER UPDATE
    Deontay Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel has confirmed the heavyweight will not stay in hospital overnight.
    Wilder was taken as a precautionary in Las Vegas after his round 11 knockout loss to Tyson Fury.
    Reporter Dan Rafael tweeted: “Was texting with Wilder manager Shelly Finkel. Said Deontay is OK and won’t be staying overnight at the hospital.”

    ‘HE SHOOK ME’
    Gypsy King Tyson Fury revealed he never feared defeat despite being floored TWICE in the fourth round.
    After winning, Fury was asked what went through his head at that moment and he 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.
    “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.”

    ‘ALL SHE WROTE’
    Tyson Fury has cast doubt over Deontay Wilder’s future after their gruelling trilogy and warned: ‘I’ll be surprised if he ever boxes again’.
    Fury told Behind The Gloves: “I’m sure he’ll have a lot of excuses to make.
    “He always does, he’s a sore loser and he has Everlast MX on and I had Paffen Sports on, the gloves were the same.
    “His trainers were in the changing rooms yet again, they checked everything, there’s no queries.
    “He got beat fair and square and that’s all she wrote for Deontay Wilder. And I’ll be surprised if he ever boxes again.”

    FIGHTING TALK 
    Tyson Fury paid tribute to his trainer SugarHill Steward after sensationally knocking out Deontay Wilder to retain his world heavyweight title.
    The Gypsy King landed the decisive punch with just a few minutes of the epic encounter remaining.
    The 11th-round knock-out came after both men had hit the canvas earlier in their trilogy bout at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
    Speaking in the ring with his hands back on his WBC belt, Fury revealed the magic words Steward said that inspired him to victory.
    Fury said: “I need to thank my trainer. At the end there he told me, ‘get your jab working, only the big dogs pull it out late on’.
    “It was edge of the seat stuff and could’ve gone either way. SugarHill pushed me to knock him out late.”

    MATCH OF THE DAY
    Former England star Gary Lineker has added his voice to praise for Tyson Fury following his victory over Deontay Wilder.
    The Match of the Day presenter tweeted: “That’s what you call a great heavyweight fight. Brilliant scrap.
    “Congratulations @Tyson_Fury on another superb performance. What a champion.”

    ‘SHADOW REALM’
    Deontay Wilder’s former trainer Mark Breland is a hot topic after the American’s loss.
    One fan said on Twitter: “Oh and lastly, that violent ending is exactly what Mark Breland saved Wilder from in the last fight.
    “That was his job, Wilder fired him for it. Tonight he wasn’t there to save him getting knocked into the shadow realm.”
    MADE HIS MARK
    Deontay Wilder has been criticised by some for his decision to sack former trainer Mark Breland after his last fight.
    Wilder axed the coach after he threw in the towel in round seven after a pummeling from Tyson Fury in the second of their three bouts.
    And some have suggested that Breland would have been just the man to go back to the drawing board and get the Bronze Bomber over the line in this fight.

    PAUL THE OTHER ONE
    Jake Paul has had his say on Tyson Fury’s win over Deontay Wilder…

    MUR OF THAT
    Andy Murray has asked boxing fans what they would rather see.

    Tyson Fury net worth: How much money did Gypsy King earn from Deontay Wilder trilogy fight and what does he make now?

    TYSON FURY has successfully defended his WBC heavyweight title in an epic bout with Deontay Wilder.The Brit survived two knockdowns before knocking out the Bronze Bomber in round eleven.
    Tyson Fury remains WBC heavyweight championCredit: PA:Press Association
    What is Tyson Fury’s net worth?
    Tyson Fury’s net worth following his second fight against Wilder was estimated at around £70m.
    The Gypsy King also made a cool £12m from his single WWE appearance, when he was victorious over Braun Strowman.
    That is on top of his previous bout against Wilder, in which Fury pocketed around £8m.
    And this figure will have increased significantly following his second win over the man from Alabama.

    How much did Fury earn from beating Wilder?
    The purse for the Fury vs Wilder trilogy bout was reportedly split 60/40 in Fury’s favour.
    The Gypsy King was expected to earn a guaranteed £22m plus 60 per cent of the pay per view revenue.
    Wilder was set to earn a guaranteed £15m plus 40 per cent of the PPV take.
    In their last fight, there was a reported purse of £3.67m, with both fighters ultimately taking home around £18.36m once PPV revenue was added.
    How much could Fury earn from a fight with Anthony Joshua?
    If Fury fights Joshua one day, there would be a huge pot of money for that fight to take place, but less so than the £150m that was at stake over the summer.
    The fight got put off and Joshua lost his interim fight with Oleksandr Usyk, likely putting an all-British undisputed heavyweight clash to bed. More

    “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, who looked stunning in a blue dress, 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.”

    Fury has spent only two weeks in the last six months with his wife and six children and Paris is relieved the trilogy battle is over.
    She said: “That’s that one [Wilder] finished and done with. Onwards and upwards for Tyson.”
    Fury, 33, tried to console Wilder after their third and final meeting, but revealed he was snubbed by the American, 35, and had some harsh words for him.
    Fury revealed: “I said, ‘Well done.’ And he said, ‘I don’t wanna show any sportsmanship or respect.’ I said, ‘No problem.'”
    “I was very surprised by that but he’s a sore loser, an idiot.
    “To be a top fighting man, you’ve got to show guts and respect and he couldn’t do it tonight. And that’s it.
    “He couldn’t do it so I’ll pray for him. I’m just thankful we all got out the fight in one piece and go home to our lovely families.”
