"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.

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?
-
It’s a tradition now to watch the trilogy every once in a while
-
I still can't believe Deontay Wilder fired his coach after this😱 It's crazy.
-
Amour too heavy, knees weak, legs spaghetti, there is blood on my ear already and my excuses are ready
-
Thank god this fight happened when it did. Another three weeks later and it would have been cancelled due to the pandemic
-
Watching this again, I didn't realize just how many big shots Fury landed on Wilder. Unreal!
-
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.

Wilder: I can’t make no excuses tonight.... I’ll make them tomorrow and next week, and the week after that and the next after that, and the next....
-
WILDER: My team knows me better than anybody His team: throws in towel WILDER: My team betrayed me.
-
The look of fear written all over wilder in the last few rounds is insane. Looked afraid for his life
-
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.
-
Their fight is something what movies are made of. It got it all. The talk exchange, the aggression, the brilliance, the sportsmanship, the history.
-
I love Kenny he doesn’t let them clinch for AGES 😂
-
Tyson Fury tampered with Deontay Wilder’s costume. He loaded it with a 6 foot 7 inch dosser.
-
This fight is so re-watchable
-
Fury's stamina is inexplicable he is a freak of nature
-
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
-
The fact that fury is such a massive man and still has 12 and 14 round cardio is astonishing in and of itself. Nothing short of a legendary lineal heavyweight for the ages
