Here are some of the reactions on social media:-
Tyson made short work of the reigning WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in their highly anticipated rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday. Fury was absolutely dominant in the rematch and landed punch after punch on the reigning champion. Fury was so dominant that Wilder’s corner had to throw in the towel. Deontay is known as the knockout king in the heavyweight division but it was Fury who knocked down Wilder numerous times due to his superior movement and precision.
It was in the seventh round that Wilder’s corner finally decided to stop the fight after Fury was looking to finish off ‘Bronze Bomber’. Tyson remains undefeated and is the new heavyweight champion of the world.
