Tyson Fury delivered the knockout blow in the 11th round

Tyson Fury delivered a thrilling 11th-round knockout of Deontay Wilder to retain his WBC heavyweight crown as their trilogy bout produced another classic on an electric night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Twenty months since Fury dethroned the American, the 33-year-old had to show all his resolve and resilience to extend his undefeated professional record to 32 fights after twice being floored in the fourth round.

Fury sent his opponent sprawling in an explosive third only to see Wilder recover, and the Briton found himself on the end of the Bronze Bomber's huge right hand twice in quick succession.

Wilder was hanging on by the end of the seventh but was still in a gruelling fight come the 10th, when Fury knocked him down once more, before delivering the final blow in the 11th to bring this particular chapter of heavyweight boxing to a close.

"I was down a couple of times, I was hurt. Wilder is a strong puncher," said Fury of his opponent, who was taken to hospital as a precaution after the fight.

"It was a great fight. I will not make any excuses. Wilder is a top fighter, he gave me a run for my money. I always say I am the best fighter in the world and he is the second best.

"Don't ever doubt me. When the chips are down I can always deliver."

Fury shows he is never beaten

This might not have been the fight Fury wanted but, after a controversial draw in their first meeting in 2018 and seventh-round stoppage from Fury last time out, it again delivered the blockbuster battle the Las Vegas crowd was craving.

Tensions had been simmering throughout fight week and only continued to bubble as Wilder's delayed entrance left the arena waiting, before the lights finally went down and the American, who listed his elaborate and heavy ring-walk outfit as one of the excuses for his loss to Fury last year, emerged in a more understated fur-lined gown.

But what's a few minutes when a classic tussle is more than a year in the making?

I don't think Antony Joshua should fight Fury. It might be dangerous for him.

Many of those gypsies seem like natural fighters. I've seen similar characteristics in some of our own Bhatra brothers.

He succumbed to the tired trope of wanting to be a "brand". Basically, walking one-man corporations that can milk their name until well after they've stopped fighting. The actual pugilistic art of fighting seemed to be second. Fans also want a connection with these types of figures; hearing an off-the-cuff remark or two; someone who says something a little politically incorrect to show they think very little of the current culture for so-called proper discourse. Fury has elements of that.
