"A big shout out to Deontay Wilder," said Fury. "He came here tonight and he manned up and he really did show the heart of a champion.I hit him with a clean right that dropped him and he got back up. He is a warrior. He will be back. He will be champion again.But I will say, the king has returned to the top of the throne!"
"Things like this happen," said Wilder. "The best man won tonight, but my corner threw in the towel and I was ready to go out on my shield. I had a lot of things going on heading into this fight. It is what it is, but I make no excuses tonight. I'm a warrior. He had a great performance and we will be back stronger."
The highly anticipated rematch was the most eagerly awaited heavyweight fight in decades after their controversial split draw in 2018. After an unprecedented promotion, the two heavyweight giants traded leather in the middle of the ring in front of a sold out crowd of 15,816.
While both men landed good shots in the first two rounds, Fury broke through in round three with a right hook that put Wilder down late in the round. While Wilder was able to make it through the round and continue fighting, his legs appeared weakened and in round five Fury scored another knockdown, this time with a body shot.
Referee Kenny Bayless deducted a point from Fury late in round five, but it didn't stop Fury from coming forward and continuing to use his height and weight advantage to push Wilder around the ring. In round seven, Fury had Wilder cornered and unloaded with a series of power punches that prompted Wilder's corner to stop the bout, which the referee officially did at 1:39 of the round.
According to CompuBox, Fury was the busier and more effective puncher, out throwing Wilder 267 to 141 and out landing him 82 to 34, including big fifth and sixth rounds where he landed 16 and 14 power punches respectively.

Deontay asking why his corner threw in the towel is just straight up denial in real time. Dude was having his ass beat & still wondered why his team acted to protect him.
-
Wilder definitely got cheated, his costume was too heavy, his water was poisoned, the dog ate his homework, and Tyson Fury kicked his butt.
-
Itโs a tradition now to watch the trilogy every once in a while
-
I still can't believe Deontay Wilder fired his coach after this๐ฑ It's crazy.
-
He literally just came to the ring, beat the living shit out of Wilder and then started to sing ๐๐๐
-
Amour too heavy, knees weak, legs spaghetti, there is blood on my ear already and my excuses are ready
-
Watching this again, there's so much to digest. In round 6, you could tell the ref knew Wilder was done for. During each breakup, you can see him examining Wilder to make sure he could still fight. Also, kudos to Wilder's team for protecting him against himself. To lose this fight AND your hearing, would have haunted Wilder for years to come. And, at the end of the day, his team will be accountable to Wilder's wife and children. That's an enormous amount of pressure. They saw him in danger and called it.
-
Anyone here after the press conference today? The one were Deontay said like three words and had his trainer talk for him LOL
-
When Wilder was beating up Stivern like this, Stivern's corner didn't stop the fight. They let him get to the end and take all the physical punishment. Result = end of Stivern's career. He was so damaged he was no longer the same person. You dont let a good fighter take a terrible beating. Wilder's corner was right to stop the fight, wilder was also right to change them, he needed a new team to improve.
-
Their fight is something what movies are made of. It got it all. The talk exchange, the aggression, the brilliance, the sportsmanship, the history.
-
Watching this again, I didn't realize just how many big shots Fury landed on Wilder. Unreal!
-
Wilder: "Why did you stop me" Coach: "YOUR EAR" Wilder: "What? I can't hear u" Coach: "I know"
-
Deontay : why stop it? Coach: YOUR EAR Deontay: huh?
-
I love Kenny he doesnโt let them clinch for AGES ๐
-
The look of fear written all over wilder in the last few rounds is insane. Looked afraid for his life
-
Wilder's durability is out of this world. What a warrior. That version of Fury is unstoppable
-
Deontay has zero footwork and fights like a giant on stilts. He once actually compared himself to Mike Tyson. Mike would have sent him into the 4th dimension.
-
โI make no excuses tonight..โ a year later... Fury cheated my corner spiked my drink my costume he had egg weights in his glove the commission was in on it I was robbed bla bla
-
That little ref trying to stop those two big bastards from beating the shit out of each other is hilarious! ๐๐๐
-
The first shot behind the ear that dropped wilder was super devastating. Anyone who has spent time in boxing knows that if you get hit there as opposed to the chin, it can screw up your balance the rest of the fight. Makes you feel like butter
