      But fans of the American have claimed Fury was given a slow count.
      It is not the first time such accusations have been made, with some suggesting the Brit received a slow count when he miraculously recovered from a 12th-round knockdown in the pair’s first meeting.
      One video posted online appears to show Fury fall to the canvas and get up ten seconds later – with the referee only counting up to seven seconds in that period.
      Fury took time to compose himself, lying flat on the ring, before getting back up.
      Just a few seconds later he was caught again by Wilder and found himself needing to beat the count a second time.
      He managed to do so and the bell intervened before Wilder was able to land a killer blow.

      After that it was mostly one-way traffic with Wilder barely holding on, but his fans believe he was robbed of a fourth-round knockout victory.
      One of his supporters tweeted: “Fury down for 11 seconds?? Ref has the count at 7??? Wilder robbed once again.”
      Another added in agreement: “If the ref didn’t give Fury 10-year count it would be a different story.”
      A third 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.”
      Some Wilder fans felt the count given by the referee for Fury was too slow

      “He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”
      And Fury commented: “Wilder is a tough guy with a big heart to keep going, I think a doctor got in the ring and checked him.
      “He took a lot of punishment and that puts miles on the clock – but so did I.”
      In their meeting 18 months ago, Wilder was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected burst eardrum. More

      And according to ESPN+, the brave and resilient former WBC champion was transported to a Las Vegas hospital for precautionary reasons.
      However, the 35-year-old was not kept in overnight, according to boxing journalist Dan Rafael.
      He tweeted: “Was texting with Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel.
      “Said Deontay is OK and won’t be staying overnight at the hospital.”
      Wilder was understandably absent at the post-fight press conference.
      But it was there Fury, topless with his WBC and Ring Magazine belts, voiced his concern for Wilder.

      He said: “Wilder is a tough guy with a big heart to keep going, I think a doctor got in the ring and checked him.
      “He took a lot of punishment and that puts miles on the clock – but so did I.”
      Wilder was dropped in round three and barely survived to make it to the corner.
      As things looked to be heading towards an early night for Fury it was his turn to dramatically pick himself up from the canvas, but not once, twice.
      The Gypsy King, 33, then took control down the stretch and a big right hand over the top had Wilder again on the floor in the tenth.
      And in the following round Fury, who had won the rematch 20 months prior, closed the show and their rivalry with a devastating KO.

      He said: “It was a great fight, rarely do we see heavyweight trilogies but they never disappoint.
      “Me and Wilder saga is done for good now, it swung both ways, we both had chances to win but I dug deep and wanted it more.
      “It comes down to who pushes further but I was not willing to go to the judges.”

      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

      by

      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.”

      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.

      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.
