Sensational Tyson Fury mauls Deontay Wilder to snatch WBC heavyweight title
- Deontay Wilder’s corner throw in the towel in round seven of punishing heavyweight clash
- Tyson Fury outclasses the champion and takes the TKO win
Wilder’s corner threw in the towel as their desperate fighter came under prolonged punishment from the Englishman.
It was a seventh round TKO in the end but Fury had dominated the undefeated champion from the opening bell, bludgeoning the Alabama-native relentlessly, and perhaps the end should have come sooner with Wilder offering very little in the final rounds of the fight.
Wilder had no answer to Fury’s onslaught and his battered face, masked in blood streaming from his ear and his mouth, told the tale of an incredible performance from the still undefeated lineal champion Fury.
The Morecambe man stalked Wilder from the opening bell and proceeded to dominate courtesy of his vastly superior ring craft and punch combinations. Wilder seemed stunned and as early as round two looked bereft of ideas of how to handle Fury.
