      In December 2018, Fury outboxed Wilder before The Bronze Bomber floored the Brit heavily in the final round.
      Fury somehow climbed back to his feet, before the judges controversially awarded it a draw.
      A little over a year later, Fury rematched Wilder in Las Vegas, destroying him in a one-sided seven-round beatdown.
      Their final fight then came in October 2021 and it was the best of the lot.
      Fury floored Wilder in the third round, before the American came firing back in the fourth with two knockdowns of his own.
      But Fury ended up coming through the dramatic clash in the 11th as he laid Wilder out on the canvas to retain the WBC title.
      Since then, Fury has picked up stoppage wins over Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora.
      Meanwhile, Wilder returned in October with a first round KO of Robert Helenius. More

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S shambolic fight with Aaron Chalmers has gone from bad to worse… as he revealed he suffered a shocking injury.The former boxing icon, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, has spent recent years dispatching wannabe boxers in a series of money-spinning exhibitions.

      And his latest venture saw Money step into the ring with reality TV star Chalmers.
      Barely anyone bothered to turn up to the O2 Arena to watch Mayweather’s first so-called fight on UK soil, in which he toyed with the former Geordie Shore man for eight non-scored rounds.
      And his woeful weekend took another bad turn when he announced the damage done to his body.
      Mayweather, 46, said: “We razzle, we dazzle. I hurt my hand actually.

      “It was when I was breaking with the hook. A lot of people don’t know.
      “When I was breaking with the hook – that’s boxing language – I hurt my left hand, bad.
      “It could be broken. We’re not worried.
      “I’m still able to use the left. You have to use the jab to set everything up.

      “He was tough. He can take everything on the chin.”
      The injury is likely to rule out any chance of Mayweather facing ex-UFC champ Jose Aldo in a March exhibition – or his latest “legalised bank robberies” as the former five-weight boxing legend described them.
      Quizzed about the swathes of empty O2 Arena seats, Mayweather added: “We did this in one month – not even four weeks. I think the tickets should’ve gone on sale a lot faster.
      “My new team is still learning. I have got to take my hat off to them. It’s not their fault.
      “It’s just when we fight in the US, as soon as we announce the fight, tickets are on sale.
      “Here, we announced the fight and the tickets didn’t go on sale until a week or two later.” More

      Despite a first career defeat, a battered and bruised Paul was in good spirits at his post-fight press conference.
      He called out Drake after it emerged the rap star had bet $400,000 on the Cleveland native winning by knockout.
