      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder scorecards revealed as judge MISSES knockdown for Gypsy King in gaffe and a 10-7 round

      by

      THE SCORECARDS for Tyson Fury’s epic trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder have been revealed – with some bizarre results.The heavyweight rivals battled hard for the WBC world title overnight at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

      The Gypsy King came out on top again, putting an end to their feud with an astonishing eleventh-round KO.
      But the scorecards at the time of the stoppage make for interesting reading, and some odd decisions by the judges.
      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.
      DID JUDGE MISS KNOCKDOWN?
      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.

      Fans swarmed to social media to claims he had MISSED the knockdown in a huge gaffe.
      And others claimed they believe he thought Wilder still won the round despite going to the floor, but those are not the rules.
      One person said on Twitter: “Third judge missed a whole knockdown!”

      Another replied: “Yeah, you have a point. Maybe he gave Wilder credit for wobbling Fury at the end of the round, but still probably should have been 10-8.”
      And one said: “Unified rules say a knockdown is a 10-8 he shouldn’t be allowed to judge a fight.”
      Another raged: “Won the round?! He got hit from Pilar to post in the 10th, was one of the worst rounds of his career the judge must have somehow forgotten about the knockdown and scored it a standard 10-9.”

      Tyson Fury set to fight Dillian Whyte next after Deontay Wilder win with Brit rival mandatory if he beats Otto Wallin

      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.
      On Saturday night, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn told DAZN’s Maya Jama: “Today we officially triggered the rematch for Oleksandr Usyk fight, which we’ll see early next spring.
      “Back in the game and we’re looking for him to become three-time world champion.
      “A few niggles in camp for AJ, Usyk had a bad cut, it’s officially triggered, we’ll sit down with K2 Promotions and I think March is when you’ll see that fight.

      “This was a disappointing loss to a pound-for-pound great.
      “We don’t need to get back in the game with 10-rounders, he needs to rip those belts off Usyk.”
      Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum revealed this week he’s interested in a Battle of Britain between Fury and Whyte.
      He told iFL TV: “That could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in UK.
      “That is not out of the question, Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight and a fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder [or] whoever wins would be a very interesting fight.”
      But the 89-year-old doesn’t foresee Whyte getting past Swedish slugger Wallin.
      Today we officially triggered the rematch for Oleksandr Usyk fight, which we’ll see early next springAnthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn
      He said: “Last time he [Whyte] was mandatory, he fought Povetkin and got knocked on his ass.
      “I look for Wallin to clearly beat Whyte, so I’m not even taking it into consideration.”
      Despite being within touching distance of a long-awaited showdown with Fury, Whyte, is refusing to get his hopes up.
      The 33-year-old said: “Tyson Fury hasn’t spoken to anyone from my team about any fight.
      “If he was serious, he would have sent emails or phone calls and we’d have been talking.
      “If he was serious I would probably have even waited for him and not fought until December.
      “But these fights are big fights, big fights don’t get made in one or two months.
      ‘There’s a lot of things that need to happen.”

      by

      He brutally knocked the American out in round 11 – after twice having to pick himself up from the floor in round four.
      Fury, 33, scored a total of three knockdowns before dramatically closing the show.
      Afterwards, YouTube star Paul, 24, tweeted: “I think Tyson Fury might have finally earned the chance to fight me.”
      Fury’s little brother Tommy, 22, was ringside for the stunning performance but revealed beforehand talks to fight Paul are intensifying.
      He said on BT Box Office: “Things are looking good, I can’t say too much as I leave that up to my lawyers.
      “But things are looking good, stay tuned.” 

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Paul is 4-0 in his career, most recently beating ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, on points over eight rounds.
      That followed after knockouts over YouTube rival ‘AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, both 37.
      Fury is 7-0 with his most last win on Paul’s undercard, against the social media sensation’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32.
      Afterwards, the pair began talks to fight but hit a standstill over the purse.
      Paul publicly offered Fury, who featured on reality TV show Love Island, $1million, plus what SunSport understands to be bonuses on pay-per-view sales.
      Things are looking good, I can’t say too much as I leave that up to my lawyers. But things are looking good, stay tuned.Tommy Fury on talks to fight Jake Paul
      He then followed it up by wagering an extra $500,000 if he loses the fight.
      But if Fury lost, he would have to legally change his name to ‘Tommy Fumbles’ for a year.
      That bet was accepted by the British light-heavyweight, who said: “Do we have a deal?
      “Get that sent over to my lawyers right now and we’ll get that looked over and sorted. There’s not a chance in hell you’re winning this fight.
      “You’re leaving on a stretcher, you’re getting knocked spark out, and you know it. Get it over to me now.”

      After exchanging a few words with Wilder, Fury took a moment to take in what he accomplished.
      He lent on the ropes and broke into tears as brother Shane and close friend Tim Allcock draped their arms across his shoulders.
      Once he composed himself he shared a kiss with wife Paris in the ring before conducting his post-fight interviews.
      Fury then took the microphone and belted out his own rendition of ‘Walking in Memphis’ – though changed it to ‘Walking in Vegas’ given the location of the fight.
      Once that was over he bid farewell to the crowd by singing “Lancashire la, la, la. Lancashire, la la la!”
      He also shouted: “Las Vegas I love you baby!”

      It has become something of a tradition for the Gypsy King to sing a classic American ballad after claiming victory in the U.S. having sung ‘American Pie’ after his first bout with Wilder.
      Vegas and the T-Mobile Arena was a fitting venue for the dramatic affair, with Fury landing the first blow when he sent Wilder to the canvas in the third.
      But the Brit had to overcome some very nervy moments before securing victory.
      Fury experienced every kind of emotion – as did Shaquille O’Neal the Las Vegas crowd – but said he could sense victory once he first sent Wilder down.

      Tyson Fury brands Deontay Wilder an ‘idiot’ and a ‘sore loser’ after he was SNUBBED by rival following KO win

      by

      TYSON FURY hit out at ‘sore loser’ Deontay Wilder for being an ‘idiot’ after he was snubbed post-fight by his bitter rival.Britain’s 33-year-old Gypsy King won one of the most iconic boxing bouts imaginable, surviving two knockdowns and a handful of further scares, to settle the WBC world title trilogy in the penultimate round.

      He left his corner – and the specially designed stool he sat on between rounds with Wilder’s face emblazoned on it – to congratulate and thank the fellow warrior he had done 30 brilliant rounds with.
      But the battered and bruised American, 35 – who had restored so much of his reputation with the performance, after accusing Fury of cheating his way to the February 2020 win – blew his chance to turn the iconic rivalry into a fantastic fighting friendship.
      And the two God-fearing men – with 14 children between them – no looked destined to be bitter enemies.
      “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.”

      Despite the puddles of blood and pounds of flesh they have slashed and bashed out of each other over three years, Fury genuinely wanted to settle things respectfully.
      “Wilder is a top fighter, he gave me a real run for my money tonight,” Fury somehow found the breath to say.
      “It was a great fight tonight, worthy of any trilogy in the sport. I always said I am the best in the world and he is second.
      “But I went over to show love and respect and he didn’t want it to so I will pray for him.
      “Wilder has no lover for me because I have beaten him three times.
      “But I am a sportsman and I went over to him to show him some love and respect and he did not want to give it back.
      “That’s his problem, I will pray for him and hopefully God will soften his heart.”
      Fury dropped Wilder in the third but then suffered two sickening knockdowns in the fifth.
      In the tenth Fury equalised as he folded Wilder into the canvas again and he ended it violently in the next session – with uppercuts and right hand leaving no need for a final count.

      One remarked: “That’s hilarious.”

      Fury won one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing by once again shaking off two Deontay Wilder knockdowns – and then knocking him out in the early hours of Sunday morning.
      The British star TWICE picked himself off the canvas, and managed to put American Wilder down FIVE times in total.
      There was no love lost between the rivals afterwards, as Fury accused Wilder of bad sportsmanship.
      Fury branded Wilder a ‘sore loser’ for not showing any sportsmanship after their 11 round war.
      When asked what he said in their brief post-fight chat, Fury said: “I said, ‘Well done.’
      “And he said, ‘I don’t wanna show any sportsmanship or respect.’ I said, ‘No problem.'”
      He added: “Very surprised [by] that. Sore loser, an idiot.” Do you know what?
      “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 had knocked Fury down twice himself in the fourth round of a topsy-turvy slugfest before succumbing late on to the second defeat of his career.
      And Swift, who is a star of TV show WAGS Atlanta and has one child with the former heavyweight king, found it all too much as she watched on.
      Wilder fared much better on Saturday night that in the pair’s second bout last February when he was totally dismantled in a seven-round KO loss and relinquished the WBC strap.
      But the battered and bruised American, 35 – who had restored so much of his reputation with the performance, after accusing Fury of cheating his way to the February 2020 win – blew his chance to turn the iconic rivalry into a fantastic fighting friendship.
      Fury, 33, revealed after his win that Wilder has refused to congratulate him.
      The Brit said: “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.
