Tyson Fury has captured the WBC heavyweight title after a clinical performance against Deontay Wilder in their much-awaited rematch on Saturday night.
14 months since their controversial first meeting, the British fan-favourite completed a redemption as he stopped the defending champ in the seventh round on his way to a technical knockout victory.
Fury knocked Wilder down twice in the fight and was the dominant fighter through seven rounds as he gave the American the first loss of his career and ended his five-year reign as the WBC heavyweight king.
Boxing fans were all praises for the ‘The Gypsy King’ after pulling off a sensational performance against the heavyweight boxer that has the highest knockout percentage in history.

It was at this point that Deontay Wilder knew he was fucked.#TysonFury pic.twitter.com/19nbUS5xQ2

Wilder was done from the 3rd round on; if Fury had real power this fight would've been over by the 5th. This was a domination, I don't know if Wilder will recover from this.
ZERO need for a third fight.
Let's see Fury-Joshua!#WilderFury #boxing #TysonFury pic.twitter.com/9PAeVoCNJ7— Michael “rematch” Montero (@MonteroOnBoxing) February 23, 2020
Every UFC heavyweight needs to quit talking about boxing Fury. Each and every one of them would be murdered.

#TysonFury. To beat a 12 year undefeated Klitschko in his yard after 23 successive defences and now punish one of the most feared and dangerous heavyweight ever in a corrupt Vegas after overcoming personal adversity he had to be regarded as #GOAT.
