“A modern day classic.”
Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis summed up Saturday’s heavyweight title showdown with those four words after Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder after 11 rounds of back-and-forth action.
Both men hit the canvas multiple times, but Fury emerged with his lineal title and the WBC heavyweight belt intact. Wilder showed the heart of a champion, but couldn’t overcome Fury’s onslaught.
Fury remains undefeated in his professional career with 31 wins and 22 knockouts. The only blemish being the draw with Wilder in 2018. Wilder drops to 42-2-1.
