    Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 LIVE REACTION: Bronze Bomber to undergo SURGERY, Fury arrives home in UK – latest updates

    TYSON FURY and his family are back in the UK after the Gypsy King’s stunning win in Las Vegas. Fury partied with DJ Steve Aoki in Sin City until 3am after his incredible KO victory over Deontay Wilder.
    In a truly unbelievable third round, Fury dropped Wilder before being dropped TWICE himself.
    And the Bronze Bomber would be knocked to the ground four times before eventually succumbing to defeat and getting taken to hospital.
    Fury roared: “Like the great John Wayne said I am made from pig, iron and steel baby!
    “I was down a couple of times and hurt and Wilder is a tough man too after he got up a few times too.
    “It was a great fight tonight, worthy of any trilogy in the sport, I always said I am the first best 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.”
    It was suggested that Wilder could hang up his gloves after the loss, but his trainer Malik Scott has revealed he will fight on.
    And SunSport can reveal he will be out until MAY next year, with the American needing surgery on a broken hand.

    TYSON’S BOX AND CAB
    Tyson Fury finished his journey home from Las Vegas with a 244-mile TAXI ride from Heathrow to Morecambe.
    The Gypsy King endured a gruelling 24 hour trip back to the UK via Atlanta following his heroics at the weekend.
    Fury, 33, partied long into the night alongside brother Tommy and wife Paris after his epic victory over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.

    Following his well-earned celebrations, the WBC heavyweight champion jetted from Vegas to Atlanta, before catching a connecting flight to Heathrow.
    Rather than face boarding a third plane to Manchester, however, the shattered Gypsy King had other ideas.
    Alongside Paris and brother Shane, Fury booked a cab to take them back to his home in Morecambe.
    According to the Mirror, the journey set him back £261… a fee that won’t make too much of a dent after he earned more than £18million on Saturday night.
    Ironically, Fury’s cab ride took an estimated four hours – when his final flight may have had him home in one or two.
    ‘FURY BETTER THAN AJ IN EVERY WAY’
    Tyson Fury beats Anthony Joshua ‘in every department’ according to the Gypsy King’s promoter Frank Warren.
    The prospect of the two Brits ever fighting took a major when Oleksandr Usyk comfortably outpointed Joshua – before Fury KO’d Deontay Wilder in theri trilogy bout.

    Warren told talkSPORT: “Tyson always felt, and I think anybody who watched the fight against Wilder would agree, that he had AJ’s number.
    “For me, he beats him in every department. He’s got a great chin, a bigger heart, he punches as hard as AJ – I don’t care what anyone says, look at those knockdowns against Wilder.
    “And, by the way, would AJ beat Wilder? I don’t think he would have done, on that performance I saw.
    “But does he [Fury] want the fight still? If it’s there and if it was to happen, that’s a choice he’ll make.
    “I still think it would be a massive draw, everybody has got an opinion about what would happen in that fight, but for me there’s only one winner there.”
    TYSON: MUM’S THE WORLD
    Tyson Fury claims his mum has NEVER been to one of his fights.
    And she doesn’t care about the Gypsy King being world champion so long as he is ‘healthy and happy’.

    Fury is world boxing’s No1 after defeating Deontay Wilder in Saturday’s Las Vegas trilogy battle.
    He had been hoping to fight Anthony Joshua in an all-British, world heavyweight unifier.
    But AJ lost his belts to Oleksandr Usyk last month and has already triggered his rematch clause – with that fight likely taking place in March.
    Fury will now consider his options after becoming king of the ring.
    But one person who isn’t too interested in his next step is Fury’s mum, Amber.
    The Gypsy King told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all. 
    “My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy. 
    “You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
    STEP ASIDE, AJ
    Promoter Frank Warren wants Anthony Joshua to ditch his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk so Tyson Fury can fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed blockbuster.
    Warren was beaming in Las Vegas at the weekend after watching his man deliver a sensational 11th-round KO of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight.
    Frank Warren says Tyson Fury beats Anthony Joshua in every department and opens the door to super fight
    That successful WBC title defence has cemented Fury as one of the greatest heavyweights ever.
    Joshua, meanwhile, will attempt a revenge mission after instructing his promoter Eddie Hern to thrash out terms for the Usyk rematch.
    Joshua was easily outboxed by the former cruiserweight king in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
    But Warren has urged AJ to consider stepping aside to let Fury go toe-to-toe with Usyk for all the belts.
    Speaking to talkSPORT, the 69-year-old said: “If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winner?
    “Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.”
    ‘HE’S GOT BOTTLE’
    Eddie Hearn has heaped praise upon Deontay Wilder for his role in one of the most thrilling boxing encounters in recent memory despite losing to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
    The Bronze Bomber knocked his opponent down twice in the fourth round and looked set to win at one point, but he started being dominated by the Briton as he tired.
    Hearn told iFL TV: “His credibility was on the floor before Saturday. He got absolutely hammered in the last fight and he was full of excuses.
    “His credibility was shot to pieces. Now I think it’s gone through the roof because although his tank was empty, he stuck in there.
    “In any normal situation, I feel the corner would have pulled him out. But he deserves credit. He’s got bottle.
    “I still think he’s in a good position. Wilder shouldn’t be disheartened because Fury is a brilliant fighter.
    “But I don’t know how much he’s going to want it after that. I just think Fury’s got his number and absolutely terrorised him mentally.”
    DEONTAY NEEDS HAND SURGERY
    Deontay Wilder will have surgery for a broken hand before setting his sights on a May 2022 return fight – with Anthony Joshua eyed.
    Wilder was brutally knocked out by Tyson Fury in round 11 of their trilogy bout, but only after twice flooring his British rival in the fourth.
    But it was there that the American, who carried 41 knockouts into the fight, broke one of the most lethal right hands in boxing history.

    As a result, he will go under the knife next week after returning home to Alabama following the gruelling Las Vegas thriller.
    His co-manager Shelly Finkel told SunSport: “Deontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week.
    “He has to have surgery, the knuckle is OK, it’s the bone behind the knuckle that broke. He’s sore but he was OK, he was home yesterday.
    “He’s healing and at this point, if everything is OK, after the hand surgery he’ll probably look to enter the ring mid next year, like April or May.”
    Wilder, 35, blamed his rematch loss to Fury, 33, last year on everything but a masterclass from the Gypsy King, who he initially drew with in 2018.
    His excuses, which were stuck by but never proven, ranged from Fury fighting with WEIGHTS in his gloves and his water being SPIKED.
    But after 11 epic rounds in their trilogy decider, Wilder’s reputation has been resorted despite failing to reclaim the WBC title.
    IRON MIKE HAILS ‘ALL-TIME GREAT’ FIGHT
    Mike Tyson has dubbed Tyson Fury’s win over Deontay Wilder one of the best fights in boxing history – with both reaching ‘all-time great status’.
    The British star, 33, recovered from two knockdowns to KO the Bronze Bomber in the 11th round of a thrilling fight in Las Vegas to retain his WBC heavyweight belt.
    Fans immediately called it an instant classic, with Iron Mike, 55, claiming it’s ‘one of the greatest’ fights in boxing history.

    Tyson tweeted: “Fury vs Wilder fight will go down as one of greatest.
    “Not for skill, but for action and excitement.
    “That fight was all guts, heart & determination.
    “Everybody won Saturday night.
    “The fight was bigger than the hype. Both of them reached all time great status…”
    RIO WANTS FURY VS AJ AT OLD TRAFFORD
    Rio Ferdinand has urged ‘inspirational’ heavyweight superstar Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua.
    And the former Manchester United defender wants the two British boxers to face off in a huge showdown at Old Trafford.
    Fury’s sensational stoppage win over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night in Las Vegas underlined his status as the king of the heavyweight division.

    Ferdinand told Vibe with FIVE YouTube channel: “That fight for me goes down as one of the best ever. It was unreal. He gets knocked down, gets up, knocks him out.
    “Fury is one of the greatest athletes of our generation. He’s an inspirational guy.
    “I want Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua at Old Trafford. Tyson, get it done! Please get that fight at Old Trafford.”
    The Gypsy King and AJ were on course to face each other in a massive British fight.
    But the showdown fell through after Wilder went through the courts to secure a third fight.
    FURY IN HINT QUIT
    Tyson Fury has hinted he could retire in the near future after knocking out Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout.
    The 33-year-old defended his WBC heavyweight belt for the first time over the weekend after blasting away the Bronze Bomber in Las Vegas.
    Fury, who was dropped twice in the fourth round of their epic encounter, sent his American rival crashing to the canvas three times in their third meeting.

    And the Gypsy King has admitted he is unsure what the future holds for him despite being linked with clashes against Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Dillian Whyte.
    He told the Telegraph: “I don’t know what’s going to happen.
    “I’ve got one fight left on my contract with Top Rank and ESPN and we’ll see what that is.
    “But I’m not thinking about boxing right now. I don’t know how many fights I’ve got left.
    “I don’t know if I need to fight any more. I don’t know what the future holds.”
    U SAY USYK HAS NO CHANCE VS TYSON
    Tyson Fury would topple Oleksandr Usyk, according to an overwhelming majority of SunSport readers who voted in our poll.
    Ukrainian Usyk displayed every ounce of his masterful southpaw style when he outclassed Anthony Joshua in late September.
    And Fury put on a similarly stunning display in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder, which he won by knockout in round 11.
    A debate has since emerged on who would win between the two unbeaten heavyweight champions.
    But 91.1 per cent of fans favoured Fury in our survey.
    The mere 8.9 per cent siding with Usyk is surprising, such was the quality of his win over AJ.
    But Fury’s ability to get off the deck twice in one round to later KO Wilder is evidence of why he is the division’s No1.
    I’D RETURN TO MY HAYE DAY TO FIGHT FURY
    David Haye has insisted he is STILL ‘100 per cent serious’ about fighting Tyson Fury.
    That is despite watching as Fury brutally knocked out Deontay Wilder in 11 epic rounds in Las Vegas.
    Haye, who tipped the Gypsy King to lose to Wilder, in September returned after three years out and beat his friend Joe Fournier, 38, in an exhibition.
    Afterwards, he called out Fury and revealed that is the only fight he would come back to professional boxing for.
    And Haye once more doubled down on the challenge when reflecting on Wilder’s gruelling trilogy bout defeat.
    Here is how Fury and Haye stack up against one another.

    NO WEIGH
    Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter said Deontay Wilder looked ‘really awful’ after his massive weight gain.
    Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk criticised the decision to pile on the pounds, and said not even Tyson Fury has what it takes to beat his man.
    Krassyuk told SunSport: “Well, Fury won and he deserved the victory.
    “The first thing I didn’t like was the shape of Wilder. He made this extra weight which didn’t make him look good.
    “He looked awful, really, really awful because he couldn’t make it with his body, he didn’t get used to that extra weight and he didn’t feel good.
    “In the fourth round he was already done and survived the rest of the fight till near the end.
    “But Fury looked fresh though he had some extra weight on his body, he performed better movements and his conditioning was much better.
    “But I didn’t like the way he won because Wilder, let’s say, was ‘dead’ after the fourth round, it took Fury more than six rounds to finish the fight so he didn’t try to box but tried to knock him out, to severely damage him.
    “It definitely wasn’t a boxing match. Coming back to Usyk, both guys – Wilder and Fury – in the shape they performed in the fight are a sweet dessert for Usyk because none of them performed with boxing skills.
    “If Usyk shows his technique, his style of technique I don’t think either Fury or Wilder can do anything serious to Usyk.”
    WALK THE WALK
    Oleksandr Usyk had already envisioned beating Anthony Joshua TWICE – while on a night time park walk with his promoter.
    Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk told SunSport: “I can tell you about my conversation with Usyk. It was when the arbitration said Fury and Wilder have to have a third fight.
    “So, before that I spoke to Eddie Hearn and agreed that a fight between Usyk and Joshua we have to make happen together.
    “So, I called Usyk and we had a meeting with him. We were walking in the park in the night time, just walking and talking.
    “I told Usyk the following, that we are now in a position mandatory challenger for almost two years and finally we have received our chance.
    “And without taking into consideration of all the obstacles that we had on the way, including interim championship, including all other kinds of obstacles, Covid, etc, finally we are in a position to make this fight happen.
    “Usyk was very happy to hear about this news and he said to me that this is something he had been waiting to hear for a long time.
    “I told him that although he’s the mandatory challenger, but most likely AJ being a star in the UK and being cautious and well-protected by his promoter Eddie Hearn, there’s going to be a rematch clause.
    “And Usyk said, ‘That’s even better news because I will have a chance to beat AJ twice!'”

    FUR REAL?
    Tyson Fury has battered Oleksandr Usyk in a shock poll with fans comprehensively backing the Gypsy King.
    Ukrainian Usyk displayed every ounce of his masterful southpaw style when he outclassed Anthony Joshua in late September.
    And Fury put on a similarly stunning display in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder, which he won by knockout in round 11.
    A debate has since emerged on who would win between the two unbeaten heavyweight champions.
    But according to SunSport readers, there is no doubt, with 91.1 per cent in favour of Fury.
    The mere 8.9 per cent siding with Usyk is surprising, such was the quality of his win over AJ.
    But Fury’s ability to get off the deck twice in one round to later KO Wilder is evidence of why he is the division’s No1.

    WORTH THE WEIGHT?
    David Haye has insisted he is STILL ‘100 per cent serious’ about fighting Tyson Fury.
    That is despite watching as Fury brutally knocked out Deontay Wilder in 11 epic rounds in Las Vegas.
    Haye, who tipped the Gypsy King to lose to Wilder, in September returned after three years out and beat his friend Joe Fournier, 38, in an exhibition.
    Afterwards, he called out Fury and revealed that is the only fight he would come back to professional boxing for.
    And Haye once more doubled down on the challenge when reflecting on Wilder’s gruelling trilogy bout defeat.
    Here is how Fury and Haye stack up against one another.

    FURY’S KEY LIFE MOMENTS

    ‘ON CLOUD NINE’
    Paris Fury has shared she is is still feeling so proud of her husband Tyson Fury after his incredible win in the heavyweight boxing fight against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas at the weekend.
    The mum-of-six flew over to the US to support her love in the lead-up to the fight as well as from ring-side in a stunning blue sparkly dress.
    Sharing a snapshot of the two of them enjoying a slap-up breakfast the morning after Tyson’s well-deserved win, the 32 year old gushed she was still “on cloud nine”.
    She said: “What a night . . . what a fight! The last 48 hours have been epic and I’m still on cloud nine.
    “It meant everything to be there with Tyson, he’s worked so hard for this and he brought it home like the great champion he is!”
    FURY’S FIVE FIGHT RETIREMENT PLAN
    Here was Tyson Fury’s five fight wishlist prior to the Deontay Wilder trilogy clash.
    It may well have changed now following Oleksandr Usyk’s win over Anthony Joshua.

    KING HAS COME HOME
    Tyson Fury arrived back in the UK after his heroic win against Deontay Wilder.
    The Gypsy King retained his throne as WBC champion with a brutal round 11 knockout against Wilder.
    Afterwards, Fury spent the night and following day celebrating the heavyweight thriller with his family and friends.
    But he then travelled back home with his entourage, landing at Heathrow T3 from a flight believed to have been from Los Angeles.
    Fury touched down around 11am, and was pictured by SunSport queuing up at passport control.
    Ever the people’s champ, the father-of-six lined up like everyone else, proving he doesn’t need special treatment.

    ‘BOXING WINS AGAIN’
    Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has shared his respect of both fighters in an emotional Instagram post.
    He praised his fighter’s heart and paid sure to pay credit to Tyson Fury, who he called one of the best heavyweights of all time.
    The post read: “Combatants: @bronzebomber Ah brother you already know I will walk with you through any storm and stand by your side regardless of any circumstances and our bond is forever unbreakable.
    “What you and Fury did last night was unbelievable and the heart you two showed was astounding, love you brother✊🏾
    “@gypsyking101 Tyson, Incredible fighter you are. You have a very uncanny way of bringing out the best in people and I really embraced this mission with open arms knowing we were going up against one of the best heavyweights of ANY era.
    “And with my man @kronksugarhill being your head trainer made the task even more intriguing.
    “Last night we were great but you guys were greater. Congratulations on a victory well earned. ‘Boxing Wins Again.”
    QUITE A-WHYTE
    Dillian Whyte knows he is finally one fight away from challenging for the WBC heavyweight title.
    The British contender was once their No1 ranked challenger for over 1,000 days without getting his shot at the belt.
    But a win over Otto Wallin will put Whyte as WBC mandatory for Tyson Fury’s title, which was recently retained against Deontay Wilder.
    Fury, in theory, should be next for Whyte if he wins against Wallin, but there are still obstacles to be overcome.
    The Gypsy King is just one of many several mega-fights for the Body Snatcher.
    Here are five possible opponents for Whyte after the Wallin fight:

    Tyson Fury
    Andy Ruiz Jr
    Anthony Joshua
    Deontay Wilder
    Otto Wallin rematch

    ‘HE’S GOT BOTTLE’
    Eddie Hearn has heaped praise upon Deontay Wilder for his role in one of the most thrilling boxing encounters in recent memory despite losing to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
    The Bronze Bomber knocked his opponent down twice in the fourth round and looked set to win at one point, but he started being dominated by the Briton as he tired.
    Hearn told iFL TV: “His credibility was on the floor before Saturday. He got absolutely hammered in the last fight and he was full of excuses.
    “His credibility was shot to pieces. Now I think it’s gone through the roof because although his tank was empty, he stuck in there.
    “In any normal situation, I feel the corner would have pulled him out. But he deserves credit. He’s got bottle.
    “I still think he’s in a good position. Wilder shouldn’t be disheartened because Fury is a brilliant fighter.
    “But I don’t know how much he’s going to want it after that. I just think Fury’s got his number and absolutely terrorised him mentally.”
    DON’T COUNT ON IT
    Deontay Wilder only has himself to blame after Tyson Fury was given a longer count after being knocked down.
    Fury was floored for the second time in round four but managed to beat the count to fight on.
    But fans and pundits – including American boxing legend Andre Ward – complained that the count was extended.
    Footage reveals the reason referee Russell Mora stopped counting at five was because Wilder was not in a neutral corner.
    It was at that point Mora stopped to signal for the American to move into the neutral corner before his count resumed.
    The official was just sticking to the rules set out by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports.
    It reads: “When a knockdown occurs, the downed boxer’s opponent shall go to the furthest neutral corner and remain there while the count is being made.
    “The referee may stop counting if the opponent fails to go to the neutral corner, and resume the count where he/she left off when the opponent reports to or returns to the neutral corner.”

    BOB’S YOUR UNCLE
    Tyson Fury’s promoter Bob Arum has hailed the WBC champion after his sensational victory over Deontay Wilder.

    That successful WBC title defence has cemented Fury as one of the greatest heavyweights ever.
    Joshua, meanwhile, will attempt a revenge mission after instructing his promoter Eddie Hearn to thrash out terms for the Usyk rematch.
    Joshua was easily outboxed by the former cruiserweight king in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
    But Warren has urged AJ to consider stepping aside to let Fury go toe-to-toe with Usyk for all the belts.

    “From our perspective, we would love to do that fight, but if we can’t and Tyson wants to keep boxing, he’ll have to defend his title, if he doesn’t want to keep boxing, so be it.”
    Fellow Brit Dillian Whyte could even FINALLY get his world title shot – he is the mandatory for Fury’s WBC belt.
    But for now, Fury is going to look forward to having a bit of a ‘normal life’ outside the boxing ring.

    “Doing the bins, taking the kids to school, doing bits around the house. Normal stuff.
    “I’m going to take a month off training and just enjoy myself.”

    Fury was floored for the second time in round four but managed to beat the count to fight on.
    But fans and pundits – including American boxing legend Andre Ward – complained that the count was extended.
    Footage reveals the reason referee Russell Mora stopped counting at five was because Wilder was not in a neutral corner.
    It was at that point Mora stopped to signal for the American to move into the neutral corner before his count resumed.
    The official was just sticking to the rules set out by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports.
    It reads: “When a knockdown occurs, the downed boxer’s opponent shall go to the furthest neutral corner and remain there while the count is being made.
    “The referee may stop counting if the opponent fails to go to the neutral corner, and resume the count where he/she left off when the opponent reports to or returns to the neutral corner.”

    BOB’S YOUR UNCLE
    Tyson Fury’s promoter Bob Arum has hailed the WBC champion after his sensational victory over Deontay Wilder.

    SEAL THE DILL
    Dillian Whyte believes that the WBC must give Tyson Fury ‘no choice’ but to face him next.
    Whyte told Sky Sports News: “Fury has the belt. Wilder had the chance to fight me for three years but didn’t.
    “Hopefully now the WBC forces my position and Fury has no choice. It’s a massive British fight, a major fight for Britain.
    “Fury is an unpredictable man who might say: ‘I am done!’
    “I hope we can make a fight when I get past Wallin. But Fury is a difficult guy to plan. I haven’t heard a word from him about making a fight.”
    EDD-ING THAT WAY
    Tyson Fury should fight Dillian Whyte next. That is the view of Anthony Joshua’s Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn.
    Fury successfully defended his WBC heavyweight champ belt in Las Vegas at the weekend – with Whyte now mandatory challenger.
    There have been calls for the Gypsy King to face Joshua or his recent assailant Oleksandr Usyk but Hearn is having none of it.
    He told IFL TV: “Dillian Whyte is the mandatory for Tyson Fury, and that’ll be called in 30 days time.
    “Obviously, Dillian has a massive fight at the O2 with Otto Wallin, but he’s the mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury.
    “It’s a brilliant fight. I’d like to see Tyson back in the UK. He hasn’t boxed in the UK in three years or four years. It’s a massive fight for the division.
    “You’ve got to give Dillian credit for going in there. He fought [Alexander] Povetkin before, and he had to come back and win that rematch.
    “Now he goes in for another tough fight against Otto Wallin, and he’s ready to make a statement on October 30 and then move forward and fight Tyson Fury. He’s mandatory now.”

    GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
    Much of yesterday’s discussion was dominated by talk of Tyson Fury’s potential opponents, with Eddie Hearn and David Price suggesting he should fight WBC mandatory Dillion Whyte.
    Hearn told iFL TV: “As fans, we should be calling for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte. Imagine the build-up, imagine the fight.
    “It does well over a million PPV buys, sells out a stadium. That is the fight. The winner fights the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua II.”
    But John Fury disagrees, arguing his son should only look to fight Usyk next.
    He told talkSPORT: “He’s got to go for Usyk or nothing in my idea. It’s Usyk next or nothing.
    “I wouldn’t bother with the rest of them, they’re not in Tyson’s class.
    “Would Dillian Whyte deal with Deontay Wilder? No. So why would you want to put him in with my son and get him knocked out?
    “At the end of the day, he just got knocked out by a 42-year-old man (Alexander Povetkin) via a slap by the back of his hand.”
    Elsewhere, David Haye has volunteered himself to be Tyson Fury’s next opponent in the ring.
    The Brit retired in 2018 but would happily return to fight Fury – a man he regrets not facing while he was still an active boxer.
    He told iFL TV: “I’m just saying, there’s gonna be a time where they’re gonna need an opponent.
    “And ideally you want an opponent that makes the most money. So FYI, the Hayemaker’s in the gym.”
    ‘ON CLOUD NINE’
    Paris Fury has shared she is is still feeling so proud of her husband Tyson Fury after his incredible win in the heavyweight boxing fight against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas at the weekend.
    The mum-of-six flew over to the US to support her love in the lead-up to the fight as well as from ring-side in a stunning blue sparkly dress.
    Sharing a snapshot of the two of them enjoying a slap-up breakfast the morning after Tyson’s well-deserved win, the 32 year old gushed she was still “on cloud nine”.
    She said: “What a night . . . what a fight! The last 48 hours have been epic and I’m still on cloud nine.
    “It meant everything to be there with Tyson, he’s worked so hard for this and he brought it home like the great champion he is!”
    DADDY FURY
    Boxing great Tyson Fury exchanged Las Vegas for ‘La, La, La, Lancashire’ as the Gypsy King returned home after 12 rounds of partying following his historic win.
    The best heavyweight on the planet plans to waste no time keeping his feet firmly on the ground today swapping his gruelling training runs for the school one.
    The WBC champion’s return to dad duties comes after a chaotic weekend that saw him defeat American Deontay Wilder for the second time in one of the greatest fights in history.
    After the historic win on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, knocking out the Bronze Bomber in the 11th round, Fury led Las Vegas in 24 hours of partying.

    BOX CLEVER
    Tyson Fury should come back to the UK and fight Dillian Whyte.
    That’s according to former British champ David Price, who also believes Anthony Joshua would knock out Deontay Wilder if they end up meeting next year.
    But Price believes the Gypsy King should take on mandatory WBC challenger Whyte in front of a bumper UK crowd.
    He told talkSPORT: “The Joshua fight was going to be a mega fight, but I wouldn’t rule out or write off the Dillian Whyte fight for a couple of reasons.
    “Number one, Dillian Whyte would be a worthy opponent because of the position he has got himself in. The knockout loss to [Alexander] Povektin, he got straight back in, put it right the best way possible.
    “Apart from that, he has had other good wins while he was the mandatory contender. He’s not been treading water, he’s got in with big names, potential banana skins and come through them.
    “I think the other reason is that Tyson Fury deserves a good homecoming fight and where better to do it than a domestic opponent who also has a name in his own right?
    “I think it is the one that makes sense because everyone else is tied up for the time being and, obviously, Fury is going to need a bit of time out after that fight.
    “Maybe in spring or summer, somebody can put him and Whyte in a stadium, I think that is the homecoming that he deserves.”
    ‘CAREER COULD BE OVER’
    Dillian Whyte believes Deontay Wilder may have risked his fighting career by going 11 rounds with Tyson Fury.
    Wilder’s corner refused to throw in the towel – likely on Wilder’s wishes – but Whyte thinks that decision could prove costly long-term.
    Whyte told Sky Sports: “[Wilder] took a lot of punishment. He could’ve finished his career potentially.
    “Last time Mark Breland I think saved his career [when he threw in the towel in the rematch].
    “This time he took way too much punishment and a lot of his corner were yes-men and they just allowed him to take too much punishment, which can be very detrimental to a fighter’s confidence and his body.
    “He seemed pretty beat up. He was struggling from round three onwards badly.
    “I know he says, ‘I’m a king and I’ll go out on my shield’ – but I think they allowed him to take too much punishment. It could affect him mentally, he could never wanna fight again, it could end his career. We’ll have to see.”
    ‘HE’S GOT BOTTLE’
    Eddie Hearn has heaped praise upon Deontay Wilder for his role in one of the most thrilling boxing encounters in recent memory despite losing to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
    The Bronze Bomber knocked his opponent down twice in the fourth round and looked set to win at one point, but he started being dominated by the Briton as he tired.
    Hearn told iFL TV: “His credibility was on the floor before Saturday. He got absolutely hammered in the last fight and he was full of excuses.
    “His credibility was shot to pieces. Now I think it’s gone through the roof because although his tank was empty, he stuck in there.
    “In any normal situation, I feel the corner would have pulled him out. But he deserves credit. He’s got bottle.
    “I still think he’s in a good position. Wilder shouldn’t be disheartened because Fury is a brilliant fighter.
    “But I don’t know how much he’s going to want it after that. I just think Fury’s got his number and absolutely terrorised him mentally.”
    ‘BOXING WINS AGAIN’
    Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has shared his respect of both fighters in an emotional Instagram post.
    He praised his fighter’s heart and paid sure to pay credit to Tyson Fury, who he called one of the best heavyweights of all time.
    The post read: “Combatants: @bronzebomber Ah brother you already know I will walk with you through any storm and stand by your side regardless of any circumstances and our bond is forever unbreakable.
    “What you and Fury did last night was unbelievable and the heart you two showed was astounding, love you brother✊🏾
    “@gypsyking101 Tyson, Incredible fighter you are. You have a very uncanny way of bringing out the best in people and I really embraced this mission with open arms knowing we were going up against one of the best heavyweights of ANY era.
    “And with my man @kronksugarhill being your head trainer made the task even more intriguing.
    “Last night we were great but you guys were greater. Congratulations on a victory well earned. ‘Boxing Wins Again.”
    ‘BEST EVER’
    Tommy Fury has shared a photo of brother Tyson and team behind him which helped him defeat Deontay Wilder.
    The photo includes trainer SugarHill Steward alongside Fury brothers Tommy, Shane and Hugh.
    Tommy Fury captioned the photo: ‘The best to ever do it!’

    DEONT BACK DOWN 
    Deontay Wilder will NOT retire after his trilogy defeat to Tyson Fury, his trainer Malik Scott has revealed.
    Speculation has been rife that the Bronze Bomber could pack it in after his second consecutive defeat to the Gypsy King.
    But such a course of action is not even on the American’s radar, cornerman Scott has revealed.
    Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “Deontay has set his family financially secure so he doesn’t have to fight to make a living.
    “But retiring is not in his plans at all and not something we’ve discussed.”
    MORE FROM HAYE
    David Haye has volunteered himself to be Tyson Fury’s next opponent in the ring.
    The Brit retired in 2018 but would happily return to fight Fury – a man he regrets not facing while he was still an active boxer.
    He told iFL TV: “I’m just saying, there’s gonna be a time where they’re gonna need an opponent.
    “And ideally you want an opponent that makes the most money. So FYI, the Hayemaker’s in the gym.”
    DAD’S FURYOUS
    Deontay Wilder ‘tarnished’ his heroic effort against Tyson Fury by refusing to show respect after their epic trilogy fight.
    Fury went over to the American moments after his sensational 11th-round KO victory to give him props for his Herculean effort.
    But a dejected Wilder refused to give it up to the WBC champ, much to the annoyance of the 6ft 9in Gypsy King’s dad, John.
    During an appearance on talkSPORT, he said “His behaviour, Wilder, before and after – it would make anybody’s blood boil, wouldn’t it?
    “As a man like I am – if you get beat by the better man you say, ‘Put our differences to one side, well done.’
    “For my money, he tarnished his performance, Wilder.
    “It was a great performance, not knocking it, he fought his heart out, he fought like a warrior.
    “But his behaviour at the end just let him down totally.”
    ‘HE’S NUMBER ONE’
    David Haye admits Tyson Fury proved him wrong by defeating Deontay Wilder for a second time.
    The Brit suggests the manner of the victory shows Fury is the best heavyweight in the world.
    Haye had predicted Fury would lose his third bout with Wilder – suggesting the American would be fitter and more dangerous with his right hand.
    Haye told iFL TV: “I definitely got it wrong. He took Wilder’s best – the heaviest single punching heavyweight probably ever.
    “That same shot has knocked out 41 people in the past. That performance shows he’s number one.”
    WHYTE HAS HIS SAY
    Dillian Whyte hopes the WBC will enforce Tyson Fury to fight him since he is the current mandatory.
    And the heavyweight boxer thinks the fight would be good for the country – delivering the all British heavyweight fight in place of Anthony Joshua, who is busy trying to regain his titles from Oleksandr Usyk.
    Whyte told Sky Sports:”Hopefully the WBC force the position and he’ll have no choice but to fight me.
    “It’s a massive British fight, it’s a major fight for Britain. Two British fighters fighting for the heavyweight world championship, that’d be great.”
    FURY FROCH SHOCK
    Carl Froch believes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury could RETIRE after his emphatic win over Deontay Wilder.
    Fury held on to his world title and kept his unbeaten record in professional boxing intact on Saturday, knocking Wilder out in round 11.
    And now the 33-year-old has put his rivalry with Wilder to bed, Froch believes Fury could retire as there’s ‘nothing left for him to do’.
    Froch said in his Sky Sports Column: “There is nothing left for him to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if he retired.
    “Depending upon how much he loves the sport, and how much he wants to go in there and do it all again, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fury says: ‘I have done my bit and now I am finished’.”

    ‘HE’S NOT BIG ENOUGH’
    John Fury is one man who opposes Eddie Hearn’s suggestion of Tyson Fury taking on Dillian Whyte next.
    Fury senior believes his son would not be motivated to take on the Brit as he is big enough.
    He admits he has told Tyson to take on Oleksandr Usyk or nobody – but given the Ukrainian has a rematch against Anthony Joshua first it seems Fury is in need of a different opponent to keep ring-sharp.
    Fury told talkSPORT: “He’s got to go for Usyk or nothing in my idea. It’s Usyk next or nothing.
    “I wouldn’t bother with the rest of them, they’re not in Tyson’s class.
    “Would Dillian Whyte deal with Deontay Wilder? No. So why would you want to put him in with my son and get him knocked out?
    “At the end of the day, he just got knocked out by a 42-year-old man (Alexander Povetkin) via a slap by the back of his hand.
    “Tyson can’t get up for them kind of fights. He wouldn’t raise his game for that fight as he’s not big enough. And then he goes in there with a lacklustre attitude and you don’t see the best of Tyson.
    “You only see the best of Tyson when he’s against the best. A challenge like he had (against Wilder) and it was a great fight. For me, I told him: Usyk or don’t bother.”
    ‘IMAGINE…’
    Eddie Hearn believes Boxing fans should be calling on Tyson Fury to return to Britain to fight Dillian Whyte next.
    Whyte, a Matchroom fighter, will is the WBC’s mandatory to take on Fury next.
    First he must overcome a tricky opponent in Otto Wallin but should Whyte defeat the Swede, he will have a shot at a world title bout.
    And Hearn believes a Fury vs Whyte fight would be huge, telling IFL TV:”As fans, we should be calling for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte. Imagine the build-up, imagine the fight.
    “It does well over a million PPV buys, sells out a stadium. That is the fight. The winner fights the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua II”
    ‘A GREAT FIGHT’
    Tyson Fury has received a congratulatory message from UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov following his victory over Deontay Wilder.
    The Gypsy King closed the book on his rivalry with the American last weekend with a sensational 11th-round KO in Las Vegas.
    Celebs and sporting figures around the world took to social media after the fight to shower Fury with praise.
    And former UFC lightweight champ Nurmagomedov has added his name to the long list with a video message for the Brit.
    The Russian – who recorded the message while watching his training partners spar – said: “Tyson, congratulations, congratulations.
    “It was a very good fight. And my coach wants to say congratulations.”

    And former UFC lightweight champ Nurmagomedov has added his name to the long list with a video message for the Brit.
    The Russian – who recorded the message while watching his training partners spar – said: “Tyson, congratulations, congratulations.
    “It was a very good fight. And my coach wants to say congratulations.”

    ‘ONE OF THE BEST’
    Deontay Wilder’s head coach has hailed an ‘incredible’ Tyson Fury following his victory in the pair’s trilogy fight.
    The Wythenshawe warrior closed the book on his rivalry with the American with a sensational 11th-round knockout in Las Vegas last weekend.
    WBC champ Fury picked himself off the canvas twice in the fourth round on his way to registering his first-ever title defence.
    And Coach Malik Scott was blown away by the heart and skill the Brit showed in the epic Sin City showdown.
    He wrote on Instagram: “Tyson, incredible fighter you are.
    “You have a very uncanny way of bringing out the best in people and I really embraced this mission with open arms knowing we was [sic] going up against one of the best heavyweights of ANY era and with my man @kronksugarhill being your head trainer made the task even more intriguing.
    “Last night we was great but you guys was greater. Congratulations on a victory well earned. ‘Boxing Wins Again.'”

    BOX-TO-BOXING
    Tyson Fury wants to defend his world heavyweight title at Old Trafford… and KO Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester’s No 1 attraction.
    And the Gypsy King has told the Red Devils’ footballing superstar: “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us!”
    WBC champ and Red Devils fan Fury recently knocked out Deontay Wilder in their Las Vegas trilogy fight.
    But the Manchester-born fighter spoke beforehand about featuring in a world title bout at United’s 76,000-seater stadium for the first time since the famous Chris Eubank-Nigel Benn draw in front of 42,000 there 28 years ago.
    Speaking from his Las Vegas fight camp, Fury, 33, told SunSport: “I have two fights left out here but I’d love to bring a world title fight back to Manchester.
    “It has always been a dream of mine to fight at Old Trafford. The last fight there was Eubank versus Benn in 1993 and that was massive.
    “I’m really happy Ronaldo’s back at Old Trafford – but this town ain’t big enough for the both of us!
    “If I lived in Manchester it would be a problem. But I’m an hour up the motorway in Morecambe so he’s got plenty of distance.”

    SOUL SEARCHING
    David Haye believes Deontay Wilder was not ‘coherent enough’ to shake Tyson Fury’s hand after his ‘SOUL’ was taken in their trilogy.
    Haye, 40, told iFL TV: “You don’t know where Wilder’s head is at. There’s so much ego, so much at stake for him. His whole life was at stake.
    “Tyson Fury has literally taken his soul. And now also Tyson Fury wants a handshake.
    “I’m sure in his mind; he’s like ‘I’m not giving you anything else, you’ve taken everything; you’ve ruined me.’
    “Maybe he said, ‘I can’t even give you my hand.’ And also, he’s taken a lot of punches to the head.
    “You’re not going to be coherent enough to maybe shaking somebody’s hand, it’s complicate.
    “You don’t know where someone is at emotionally. He might have had a breakdown if he shook his hand.
    “Maybe the realisation of ‘This man is better than me. Maybe he just doesn’t ever want it to go to that point, I dunno.
    “It would have been nice for him to shake hands and embrace him and say, ‘Yeah, you’re the better man. You beat me tonight; you beat me last time out. Good luck in the future’. But everyone’s different.”
    MASS DESTRUCTION
    TYSON FURY will have ‘too much mass’ for Oleksandr Usyk and should ‘ride off into the sunset’ if he becomes undisputed champion.
    That is the view of American boxing legend and now pundit Andre Ward, who was ringside for Fury’s epic trilogy win over Deontay Wilder.
    After the Gypsy King retained his WBC title, a unification with newly crowned WBA, IBF and WBO champ Usyk has been touted.
    But Ward, who won belts at super-middleweight and light-heavy, insisted 19st 11lb Fury will be too big for Usyk, who was 14st 4lb for much of his career.
    He told Behind The Gloves: “He’s not going to beat Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury is just not some big lumbering guy. He’s skillful; he can fight.
    “It’s just too much mass, I think, but Anthony Joshua has to fight Usyk in a rematch.”

    WHAT A BELTER
    Andy Ruiz Jr has warned Tyson Fury his WBC belt is the one he is waiting for to complete the heavyweight collection.
    Ruiz earned the WBA, IBF and WBO titles in June 2019 after he stunned Anthony Joshua and knocked him out in New York.
    But only six months later, following a period of partying and not training, the outsider lost them back to Joshua after being outboxed for 12 rounds.
    Ruiz has since linked up with Canelo Alvarez’s esteemed coach Eddy Reynoso and bounced back with a win in May.
    And he was ringside to watch Fury’s gruelling trilogy win over Deontay Wilder, and fancies a crack at the WBC belt, which has Mexican roots like himself.
    Ruiz, 32, told BT Sport: “So that’s exactly why we came over here, I’m just waiting until everybody eliminates each other.
    “And here I come, baby. That’s exactly the belt I’m waiting for, you know. I got all the belts except the WBC so that’s exactly what I’m praying for.”

    CHEAT 16?
    A number of fans have claimed Tyson Fury’s stunning victory over Deontay Wilder was fixed.
    The Gypsy King defeated the Bronze Bomber in the 11th round in the most exciting heavyweight battle for years.
    The rollercoaster battle saw Wilder get knocked down in the third round of their trilogy bout at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
    But he responded by sending Fury to the deck twice in the fourth – only for the champ to clamber back to his feet before the ten-count.
    Two huge shots from Wilder sent his opponent to the floor in quick succession but Fury was upright by the count of eight.
    However, UFC legend Daniel Cormier claimed that referee Russell Mora’s count was ‘crazy slow’.
    And several more people took to social media to claim that the fight had been fixed.
    One tweeted: “Tyson Slow Count Fury. Fixed fight.”
    Another wrote: “The ref didn’t even count the second knockdown! He got to 6!!!!!!! Boxing is fixed.”
    While a staunch fan of the defeated American said: “@BronzeBomber really wasnt going up against just @Tyson_Fury, he dead a** just fought the WHOLE BOXING COMMISSION!! He fought fury AGAIN with TAMPERED GLOVES and a REFEREE THAT LITERALLY GAVE FURY 16 SECONDS TO GET OFF THE CANVAS! SMH KEEP UR HEAD UP WILDER! U A WARRIOR!!!”
    HISTORY CLASS
    When Tyson Fury beat Deontay Wilder in their trilogy, he drew ‘First Blood’.
    But when he was a 10-year-old schoolboy at Styal Primary School, the Gypsy King dressed up as Sylvester Stallone’s famous character, John Rambo for World Book Day.
    The people’s champion, who brutally knocked out Wilder in round 11, attended the school in Cheshire till the age of 11 from 1993.
    And the 33 year old is remembered fondly by a former teacher, who called him “kind and caring” during his time there.

    LONG TYME AGO
    Tyson Fury’s undefeated record almost ended when he was just 22 after he was knocked down by an unknown Canadian.
    The Gypsy King has been handed numerous tough tests along the way, including in his epic trilogy win over Deontay Wilder.
    One of the most notable came in 2011 when Fury took on little-known Neven Pajkic for the Commonwealth heavyweight title.
    Fury had brushed aside 16 opponents as a professional before his bout with Pajkic but was given a real wake-up call in Manchester in front of his own fans.
    The now 44-year-old is known as the first man to knock Fury down to the canvas when he caught him with a right hook in the second round.

    USYK PLAYER
    Tyson Fury has been told to have a long break by Richie Woodhall, who fears he may only be motivated by Anthony Joshua beating Oleksandr Usyk.
    Fury retained his WBC title after 11 gruelling rounds with Deontay Wilder, which ended with a brutal knockout.
    He is now set to face the winner between Dillian Whyte and Otto Wallin, who will become WBC mandatory after their October 30 fight.
    But former world champion Woodhall thinks Joshua, who lost to Usyk in September but is set for a rematch, is still Fury’s true target.
    He told told BBC 5 Live: “My concerns are not only for Wilder but for Tyson as well.
    “The only thing that beats Tyson, for me, is himself in terms of complacency. Lennox Lewis got complacent twice and got beaten twice.
    “Complacency can creep into any boxer, so I’m a little bit worried there about what’s going to motivate him now to come back.
    “Maybe an AJ fight, if he can beat Usyk, that would sell and motivate Tyson Fury.
    “They’re talking about Dillian Whyte, but Tyson needs a good long break now.”

    But after years of being ignored by previous champ Deontay Wilder, Whyte believes he should now finally get his chance with compatriot Fury having snatched the belt, in what would be a ‘massive fight’ for Britain.
    First, however, he must get past Otto Wallin, who cut Fury badly during their September 2019 bout.
    Whyte told Sky Sports News: “Fury has the belt. Wilder had the chance to fight me for three years but didn’t.
    “Hopefully now the WBC forces my position and Fury has no choice.
    “It’s a massive British fight, a major fight for Britain.
    “Fury is an unpredictable man who might say: ‘I am done!’

    “I hope we can make a fight when I get past Wallin. But Fury is a difficult guy to plan.
    “I haven’t heard a word from him about making a fight.”
    On what comes next, he added: “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking at them. I am definitely looking at fighting Fury.
    “Wallin is a dangerous operator – he pushed Fury all the way.
    “I am looking to fight Fury next if everything goes according to plan. I’m always up against it, I’m always in hard fights. I’m used to it.
    “I could pull out of the Wallin fight just to fight Fury but that isn’t my mindset. I can’t wait around for what Fury is doing.
    “My mindset is that I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m not scared to take risks. They see danger in fighting me.
    “I will risk it all, if need be.”

    “They’re talking about Dillian Whyte, but Tyson needs a good long break now.”

    ‘STUCK IN A CAGE’
    UFC superstar Nate Diaz admits he’s eager to box before he retires from fighting.
    Fan favourite Diaz, as well as his older brother Nick, are long-time training partners of boxing great Andre Ward and are considered by many to have some of the best hands in MMA.
    And testing himself inside the ring is something the Ultimate Fighter season five winner wants to tick off his bucket list before his story is all said and done.
    The Stockton slugger told BT Sport: “I’ve always been wanting to box. I’ve just been stuck in a cage.”
    Diaz, 36, was ringside for Tyson Fury’s epic trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder last weekend – which the Gypsy King won via a stunning 11th-round knockout.
    The future UFC Hall-of-Famer said of the bout: “I thought it was a good fight, an entertaining fight. I’m glad I came, it was cool to watch.”
    The former lightweight title challenger was left impressed by the immense heart Fury showed to get up from two brutal knockdowns.
    He said: “It was good. I saw it slowly coming, but it was good because they had a little back-and-forth in the beginning. So it’s cool.”

    WILD PARTY
    Tyson Fury took his well earned celebrations to a pool party where he showed off his scars of war with Deontay Wilder.
    The Gypsy King brilliantly beat American Wilder once more after 11 thrilling rounds in Las Vegas.
    Heavyweight hero Fury partied until 3am in Sin City and was raving on stage with DJ Steve Aoki.
    After a private recuperating lunch with wife and mother-of-six Paris, the WBC king arrived at the Wet Republic pool party around 3PM Vegas time.
    Wet Republic is a massive pool party complex next to the MGM Grand with DJs and hot tubs, which hosted a party attended by Prince Harry in 2012.
    It was the same place Fury partied at after beating Tom Schwarz in 2019, the day after he made his Vegas debut.

    PUNCH IT IN
    Tyson Fury landed TWICE as many punches as Deontay Wilder after an epic trilogy win in Las Vegas.

    WILD GRUDGE
    Deontay Wilder refused to show Tyson Fury respect in the ring as he still alleges his rival tried to cheat against him.
    That was revealed by Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott, who watched his man bravely take the Gypsy King 11 rounds before being brutally knocked out.
    But afterwards, the American heavyweight chose to snub Fury’s attempt to make peace and shake hands.
    Scott said Wilder still holds ill-will towards the British WBC champion, after accusing him of cheating in their rematch.
    The trainer told EsNews: “Deontay, he obviously looks at Fury as a man he had serious issues with concerning some certain allegations that was out.
    “And certain things that he has actually seen with his own eyes. Tonight, after they released all that energy, he still felt the way he felt.”

    THEATRE OF (FURY’S) DREAMS
    Tyson Fury’s sensational fight-of-the-century contender has earned him a ‘hero’s homecoming’ scrap in the UK.
    Britain’s WBC heavyweight king wowed the boxing world by TWICE climbing off the canvas to dish out a thrilling 11th-round KO of Deontay Wilder.
    The WBC have ordered him to fight the winner of this month’s bout between Dillian Whyte and Otto Wallin.
    And Fury’s promoter Frank Warren reckons the Manchester United fan is big enough to fill every stadium in England – putting Old Trafford on stand-by for his next title defence.
    Warren said: “I would love that homecoming more than anything the British fans and everything. Can you imagine it?
    “Tyson sells out any stadium in Britain, easy. The fans will come out for him.
    “He deserves that hero’s homecoming now.”

    ‘CREDIT TO HIM’
    Deontay Wilder ‘finished out on the battlefield’ but with ‘no bullets left’ in defeat to Tyson Fury, said David Haye.
    He told iFL TV: “I know a lot of people wrote Wilder off, but he showed tremendous heart and balls to stay in there.
    “True to his word, he said didn’t want this corner to throw in the towel, Breland threw the towel in to save him for this day, which was a great thing.
    “It appeared to everyone’s point of view to be the right thing, and this time around, I’m pretty sure Malik Scott was given strict instructions that no matter what happened to him in that fight, no matter how much of a beating he was taking, don’t even pick up that towel to throw it.
    “Because, ‘I’d rather die in the ring,’ he said that, and he proved it.
    “He finished out on the battlefield with no bullets left in his gun.
    “He could not have done anything more. Credit to him.”

    ‘NO SUCH THING’
    Tyson Fury broke then rubbished the supposed ‘Drake curse’ after the rap superstar backed the Gypsy King against Deontay Wilder.
    The Canadian artist has been an unlucky charm for several sportsmen, who have posed for pictures with him and then lost.
    Even Anthony Joshua, 31, was among the victims, after uploading a photo with Drake before his shock 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz Jr, 32.
    But his great rival Fury, 33, overcame the myth, by knocking out Wilder, 35, in their Las Vegas trilogy fight.
    Drake had wished the WBC champion luck and some superstitious fans feared it would be a bad omen.
    But not Fury, who later made light of the curse on his Instagram story.
    He posted: “Curse? No such thing pal.”

    GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
    Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder both earned a minimum of £18million for their Las Vegas trilogy fight.
    The pair, 33 and 35 respectively, renewed their rivalry in Sin City in the early hours of Sunday morning, with Fury emerging victorious yet again.
    And both men made a pretty penny for their T-Mobile Arena tussle.
    It’s understood Fury and Wilder’s disclosed purses – which will be released by the Nevada Athletic Commission later this week – were £4.4million ($6m) and £2.9m ($4m) respectively.
    But the duo were already contractually guaranteed a minimum of £18m for the third showdown.
    Fury, however, has taken home the lion’s share of the pot due to the 60/40 split in place.
    Meanwhile, UFC star Conor McGregor has congratulated both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder for the show they put on during their trilogy bout.
    He wrote on Twitter: “Great fight that. Both warriors, both winners.
    “Hard to not be impressed with Deontay there. Against the much larger man and almost got it done. Great fight. 40lb’s in weight difference is A LOT.
    “Fair play both men there, very enjoyable fights they have had together. Respect.”
    CON-GRATS
    Conor McGregor has congratulated both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder for the show they put on during their trilogy bout last night.
    He wrote on Twitter: “Great fight that. Both warriors, both winners.
    “Hard to not be impressed with Deontay there. Against the much larger man and almost got it done.
    “Great fight. 40lb’s in weight difference is A LOT.
    “Fair play both men there, very enjoyable fights they have had together. Respect.”
    NO GLOVE LOST
    Tyson Fury admitted he expects Deontay Wilder to have ‘a lot of excuses’ after brilliantly beating his rival ‘fair and square’.
    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.”

    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.

    FURY RANKINGS
    Tyson Fury has named his top four heavyweight rankings after his win over Deontay Wilder.
    The Morecambe man said: “It was a great fight tonight, it was worthy of any trilogy in the history of the sport.
    “Deontay Wilder’s a top fighter, he gave me a real run for my money. I always said I’m the best in the world and he’s second best.”
    It comes after he told Barstool Sports the other fighters he would have in the top four before the clash.
    He named Oleksandr Usyk third with Anthony Joshua fourth, after the Ukrainian’s win over the Brit.

    PUNCH IT IN
    Tyson Fury landed TWICE as many punches as Deontay Wilder after an epic trilogy win in Las Vegas.

    POOL PARTY
    Tyson Fury celebrated victory over Deontay Wilder with a wild after-party at the glitzy Hakkasan nightclub in Las Vegas.
    But The Gypsy King is now in recovery mode and and making the most of his hard earned rest with a dip in the swimming pool.
    His wife Paris took to Instagram to share a video of her 33-year-old husband soaking up some Sun while relaxing in a pool.
    She focuses the camera on the Gypsy King as he shows off a bling WBC ring he wears as WBC heavyweight champion.
    He smiles and cheers with barely a scratch on him – despite being twice dropped by Wilder.

    2 FAST 2 FURY-OUS
    Beating Tyson Fury would be ‘very tough’ for Anthony Joshua, according to David Haye.
    Speaking on BT Sport, the 40-year-old said: “I think from the strength of that performance, it would be very tough for AJ.
    “Having watched AJ’s last performance against Usyk, the shots that Fury took down the pipe from Wilder, he was able to get back up and rough him up.
    “The fact that AJ stood at range with Usyk having a boxing match… is AJ going to beat Fury in a boxing match? I don’t believe so.”

    MARK HIS WORDS
    Deontay Wilder’s former coach Mark Breland has taken to Instagram after seeing The Bronze Bomber brutally knocked out by Tyson Fury.
    Breland was sacked by Wilder following the last bout between the pair.
    He threw in the towel from Wilder’s corner in the seventh round – saving the Bronze Bomber from a savage beating.
    And now the 58-year-old former world champion has taken to social media in cryptic fashion.
    In a bizarre video posted to his Instagram account, Breland can be seen shadow boxing.
    And he simply captioned the post: “Great fight.”
    FURY ROAD
    Tyson Fury became world boxing’s undisputed No1 when he KO’d Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend.
    The Gypsy King looked to be in tip-top shape as he claimed a huge victory in the third and final battle against his American foe.
    And looking back at Fury in 2017, it just goes to show how far he’s come.

    FURY CONGRATULATED BY LEWIS

    DEONT RULE ME OUT
    Deontay Wilder would do ‘ten times better’ against Oleksandr Usyk than Anthony Joshua did, according to trainer Malik Scott.
    Speaking to ESNews, the Bronze Bomber’s cornerman said: “Usyk and Wilder? I believe it’s a superfight. I believe stylistically Usyk would beat AJ again.
    “If AJ could make the necessary adjustments stylistically with his team then I believe it would be a much more competitive fight.
    “But I still would give the edge to Usyk… and I’d maybe give him the edge by stoppage – it just depends how AJ would handle the first three rounds as far as positioning.
    “But with Deontay, I believe his style would do a whole lot better against Usyk’s than AJ’s style did, ten times better.
    “Because I look at it like this – Usyk fought AJ and I keep telling everybody he got bruises and everything which means he was getting hit.”

    LANCS HERO
    Lancashire local Tyson Fury delighted fans from his home county following victory over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
    After a brutal eleventh round knockout, Fury grabbed a microphone and belted down it: “Lancaster, la la la, Lancashire la la la!”
    Gypsy King Fury was born in Wythenshawe in south Manchester.
    He now lives in Morecambe – in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire – hence the ‘Lancaster’ and ‘Lancashire’ chants.
    Manchester was also historically part of the county of Lancashire, but since 1974 comes under the county of Greater Manchester.
    And he gave a nod to his Lancashire roots after a savage knockout blow.
    Fury’s football-like chant followed his rendition of ‘Walking in Memphis’ to the 20,000 strong crowd at T-Mobile Arena.
    The 33-year-old changed Marc Cohn’s classic to ‘Walking in Vegas’ given the location of the fight.

    LOOK OF GLOVE
    Paris Fury gave her man Tyson as adorable look of love as he made his walk to the ring last night.
    The Gypsy King sauntered in wearing a Spartan outfit inspired by the hit movie ‘300’.
    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.

     DEONT DELAY
    Deontay Wilder’s pre-fight ‘s***-house’ move to delay his bout with Tyson Fury backfired spectacularly, writes WILLIAM PUGH. 
    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.
    WILD CLAIMS
    Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has revealed that the Bronze Bomber broke his hand during last night’s defeat to Tyson Fury.
    The American, 35, floored the Gypsy King twice in the fourth round, only to later be knocked out in the penultimate stanza of an instant classic.
    Speaking to ESNews after the bout, cornerman Scott revealed that Wilder had come out of the fight with a number of injuries.
    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.”

    THE ROCK SAYS
    Tyson Fury’s stunning knockout victory over Deontay Wilder has been hailed as one of the greatest nights in heavyweight boxing.
    And one of the most famous men on the planet was left open-mouthed at the action unfolding in front of him.
    WWE legend and movie star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson dubbed the trilogy bout as ‘one of the greatest’ he had ever seen.
    He tweeted: “That was one of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen.
    “Congrats to my friend & champion @Tyson_Fury. What a beautiful & resilient performance.
    “What a “on the shield” heart @BronzeBomber has. I was inspired tonight by both men.”

    CON-GRATS
    Conor McGregor has congratulated both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder for the show they put on during their trilogy bout last night.
    He wrote on Twitter: “Great fight that. Both warriors, both winners.
    “Hard to not be impressed with Deontay there. Against the much larger man and almost got it done.
    “Great fight. 40lb’s in weight difference is A LOT.
    “Fair play both men there, very enjoyable fights they have had together. Respect.”
    NO GLOVE LOST
    Tyson Fury admitted he expects Deontay Wilder to have ‘a lot of excuses’ after brilliantly beating his rival ‘fair and square’.
    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.”

    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.

    FURY RANKINGS
    Tyson Fury has named his top four heavyweight rankings after his win over Deontay Wilder.
    The Morecambe man said: “It was a great fight tonight, it was worthy of any trilogy in the history of the sport.
    “Deontay Wilder’s a top fighter, he gave me a real run for my money. I always said I’m the best in the world and he’s second best.”
    It comes after he told Barstool Sports the other fighters he would have in the top four before the clash.
    He named Oleksandr Usyk third with Anthony Joshua fourth, after the Ukrainian’s win over the Brit.

    PUNCH IT IN
    Tyson Fury landed TWICE as many punches as Deontay Wilder after an epic trilogy win in Las Vegas.

    POOL PARTY
    Tyson Fury celebrated victory over Deontay Wilder with a wild after-party at the glitzy Hakkasan nightclub in Las Vegas.
    But The Gypsy King is now in recovery mode and and making the most of his hard earned rest with a dip in the swimming pool.
    His wife Paris took to Instagram to share a video of her 33-year-old husband soaking up some Sun while relaxing in a pool.
    She focuses the camera on the Gypsy King as he shows off a bling WBC ring he wears as WBC heavyweight champion.
    He smiles and cheers with barely a scratch on him – despite being twice dropped by Wilder.

    2 FAST 2 FURY-OUS
    Beating Tyson Fury would be ‘very tough’ for Anthony Joshua, according to David Haye.
    Speaking on BT Sport, the 40-year-old said: “I think from the strength of that performance, it would be very tough for AJ.
    “Having watched AJ’s last performance against Usyk, the shots that Fury took down the pipe from Wilder, he was able to get back up and rough him up.
    “The fact that AJ stood at range with Usyk having a boxing match… is AJ going to beat Fury in a boxing match? I don’t believe so.”

    MARK HIS WORDS
    Deontay Wilder’s former coach Mark Breland has taken to Instagram after seeing The Bronze Bomber brutally knocked out by Tyson Fury.
    Breland was sacked by Wilder following the last bout between the pair.
    He threw in the towel from Wilder’s corner in the seventh round – saving the Bronze Bomber from a savage beating.
    And now the 58-year-old former world champion has taken to social media in cryptic fashion.
    In a bizarre video posted to his Instagram account, Breland can be seen shadow boxing.
    And he simply captioned the post: “Great fight.”
    FURY ROAD
    Tyson Fury became world boxing’s undisputed No1 when he KO’d Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend.
    The Gypsy King looked to be in tip-top shape as he claimed a huge victory in the third and final battle against his American foe.
    And looking back at Fury in 2017, it just goes to show how far he’s come.

    FURY CONGRATULATED BY LEWIS

    DEONT RULE ME OUT
    Deontay Wilder would do ‘ten times better’ against Oleksandr Usyk than Anthony Joshua did, according to trainer Malik Scott.
    Speaking to ESNews, the Bronze Bomber’s cornerman said: “Usyk and Wilder? I believe it’s a superfight. I believe stylistically Usyk would beat AJ again.
    “If AJ could make the necessary adjustments stylistically with his team then I believe it would be a much more competitive fight.
    “But I still would give the edge to Usyk… and I’d maybe give him the edge by stoppage – it just depends how AJ would handle the first three rounds as far as positioning.
    “But with Deontay, I believe his style would do a whole lot better against Usyk’s than AJ’s style did, ten times better.
    “Because I look at it like this – Usyk fought AJ and I keep telling everybody he got bruises and everything which means he was getting hit.”

    LANCS HERO
    Lancashire local Tyson Fury delighted fans from his home county following victory over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
    After a brutal eleventh round knockout, Fury grabbed a microphone and belted down it: “Lancaster, la la la, Lancashire la la la!”
    Gypsy King Fury was born in Wythenshawe in south Manchester.
    He now lives in Morecambe – in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire – hence the ‘Lancaster’ and ‘Lancashire’ chants.
    Manchester was also historically part of the county of Lancashire, but since 1974 comes under the county of Greater Manchester.
    And he gave a nod to his Lancashire roots after a savage knockout blow.
    Fury’s football-like chant followed his rendition of ‘Walking in Memphis’ to the 20,000 strong crowd at T-Mobile Arena.
    The 33-year-old changed Marc Cohn’s classic to ‘Walking in Vegas’ given the location of the fight.

    LOOK OF GLOVE
    Paris Fury gave her man Tyson as adorable look of love as he made his walk to the ring last night.
    The Gypsy King sauntered in wearing a Spartan outfit inspired by the hit movie ‘300’.
    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.

     DEONT DELAY
    Deontay Wilder’s pre-fight ‘s***-house’ move to delay his bout with Tyson Fury backfired spectacularly, writes WILLIAM PUGH. 
    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.
    WILD CLAIMS
    Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has revealed that the Bronze Bomber broke his hand during last night’s defeat to Tyson Fury.
    The American, 35, floored the Gypsy King twice in the fourth round, only to later be knocked out in the penultimate stanza of an instant classic.
    Speaking to ESNews after the bout, cornerman Scott revealed that Wilder had come out of the fight with a number of injuries.
    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.”

    THE ROCK SAYS
    Tyson Fury’s stunning knockout victory over Deontay Wilder has been hailed as one of the greatest nights in heavyweight boxing.
    And one of the most famous men on the planet was left open-mouthed at the action unfolding in front of him.
    WWE legend and movie star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson dubbed the trilogy bout as ‘one of the greatest’ he had ever seen.
    He tweeted: “That was one of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen.
    “Congrats to my friend & champion @Tyson_Fury. What a beautiful & resilient performance.
    “What a “on the shield” heart @BronzeBomber has. I was inspired tonight by both men.”

    FURY FIGHTBACK
    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.
    But after the sixth round 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.

    LEW GOT THIS
    British boxing legend Lennox Lewis congratulated Tyson Fury on his victory in Las Vegas – just as The Gypsy King got out of the shower.
    Fury was speaking after knocking out Deontay Wilder, but spotted Lewis and shouted: “Come on Lennox get in here!”
    Fresh from washing Wilder’s blood from his body the Gypsy King was wearing just a hat and shorts as he spoke to Lewis.
    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.”

    ERA DEFINING
    Tyson Fury’s brutal knockout of Deontay Wilder left the Gypsy King feeling sorry for his opponents.
    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.”

    DEON AND DUSTED
    Tyson Fury stated 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.”

    FUR JOKING
    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.”

    BATTLE OF THE BRITS
    Will we ever see Fury vs AJ?

    PARTY TIME
    Tyson Fury was true to his word as he celebrated victory over Deontay Wilder by partying with brother Tommy and wife Paris in Las Vegas, writes TRISTAN BARCLAY.
    The Gypsy King vowed to put any thoughts of his next opponent to the back of his mind and enjoy a night out following his stunning knock-out win.
    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.

    Tyson Fury celebrates ‘greatest ever’ fight by partying until 3am in Las Vegas

    TYSON Fury declared himself The Greatest yesterday after winning one of the most sensational fights in boxing history — then partied like a champion until 3am.The Gypsy King, 33, held on to his crown by battering American Deontay Wilder to the canvas in the 11th round in Las Vegas.

    Echoing Muhammad Ali, Tyson roared: “Am I the greatest heavyweight of my era? Without a doubt. I believe I could beat anyone in history.”
    The Gypsy King swigged £800 vodka from the bottle, sank lager and sang to fans just three hours after KO-ing Deontay Wilder.
    He told clubbers: “They’ll be talking about this f***ing fight a thousand years from today. They’ll say where were you? You were all here with the champ!”
    Hours earlier, after coming back off the canvas twice, he said: “Am I the greatest heavyweight of my era? Without a doubt. Number one, numero uno. I believe I could beat anyone in history. Any man born, I believe I’ve got a really good chance of beating him.”
    Superstar Fury, 33, added: “Next, I’ve gotta go get drunk — so thank you very much.”
    True to his word, after clubbing his American rival with a right hand in the 11th round to end the fight at 9.35pm, he was at Hakkasan club by 12.45am.
    The Sun had a ringside seat at the bash where he partied with wife Paris, 31, brother Tommy, 22, boxer Joseph Parker, 29, and 30 of his entourage.

    Fury entered the club to AC/DC hit You Shook Me All Night Long, the song he used for his ring walk, wearing a suit and trousers emblazoned with his Gypsy King motif. Clutching a Bud Light, sporting two black eyes and a welt on his head he took off his suit jacket and began to dance bare-chested.
    He shadowboxed to Queen song We Are The Champions and posed with fans, before jumping on top of the DJ booth with Tommy and Parker.
    A cannon fired confetti into the crowd as Fury blew kisses and put his hands together in a praying motion during hit Livin’ On A Prayer.
    ‘I’VE GOTTA GO GET DRUNK’
    The dad of six also led the crowd in a round of “Oh, Tyson Fury” to the tune of White Stripes song Seven Nation Army. For the next few hours, he partied with wife Paris in a VIP area gulping from two £800 magnums of Grey Goose vodka on his table and necking Bud Light bottles.
    The club’s menu includes 30 litres of Ace of Spades Rose champagne for £217,000, while a three-litre bottle costs a mere £15,000. VIP punters spending £1,400 on booze had bottles brought to them inside a makeshift boxing belt, by women dressed in multi-coloured robes.
    DJ Steve Aoki played at the five-floor venue inside the MGM Grand. When he put on Don McLean classic American Pie, Fury couldn’t resist grabbing the mic to serenade the crowd with a singalong.
    He then leapt on to the DJ booth again and launched into Sweet Caroline for the second time. After snogging wife Paris, who had earlier been dancing on the sofas of the VIP area, he then began to whip up the crowd. Fury roared: “Make some fing noise! Is everybody having a good time in here tonight? Let’s take this up a f***ing notch. Let’s take it to paradise, ecstasy!”
    As AC/DC song Thunderstruck began to play Fury, still shirtless and standing on top of the DJ booth, played an air guitar and declared it “one of the greatest songs that has been written”.
    As the crowd chanted the fighter’s name, DJ Aoki yelled: “This is Tyson Fury day! We have a legend in the building with us.”
    Fury, Paris and their entourage left the club at 3am. Last night he was due to host a pool party.
    The high drama in Sin City marked an explosive conclusion to the trilogy of fights between Fury and 35-year-old Wilder.
    ‘LEGEND IN THE BUILDING’
    The first contest ended in a contentious draw before Fury beat down Wilder in a seventh-round TKO last February. The third fight, set for July, was postponed when Fury caught Covid.
    In August his newborn daughter Athena was fighting for life in intensive care. By turning up for Saturday’s bout both fighters were said to have earned a minimum of £30million.
    Fury, the undefeated WBC title-holder, could now net £100million in a match up with Brit Anthony Joshua next year. Millions of bleary-eyed Brits got up at 4.40am for the fight.
    In Vegas, a full house of 20,000 including basketball legends Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal were at the T-Mobile Arena. Tickets were going for £3,600 each, rising to £28,000 ringside.
    Fury’s topsy-turvy career has seen him abuse cocaine and balloon to more than 28 stone. He would drink 18 pints of lager a day, plus whisky and vodka, before stopping off on the way home for pizzas and kebabs.
    The Manchester-born star, now based in Morecambe, gave up his world titles in 2017 after accepting a backdated two-year doping ban. He was hit by severe depression and attempted suicide.
    After arriving at the T-Mobile Arena, Fury had warned those back home: “Take some energy drinks, whatever you need. Stay awake — it’s gonna be exciting.”
    He entered the ring dressed as a Spartan and knocked down Wilder in the third round. The Brit was floored twice in the fourth but slowly gained control and left Wilder with blood oozing from his mouth and left ear.
    Finally, a minute and ten seconds into Round 11, Fury’s spectacular KO ended the contest. With tearful Paris by his side, he belted out Walking in Vegas to fans and added: “Lancashire, la la la.”
    Actor Dwayne The Rock Johnson raved: “That was one of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen. Congrats to my friend & champion Tyson Fury. What a beautiful & resilient performance.”
    Piers Morgan tweeted: “What. A. Fight. Two absolute warriors.”
    Match of the Day’s Gary Lineker added: “What a champion.”
    Fury said afterwards: “Don’t ever doubt me. When the chips are down, I can always deliver. I can only beat whoever’s in my era and I’ve done that all my life. I’m the greatest heavyweight of my era.”
