A fight that lasted till the 12th round last year did not make it past the seventh round this time around.
Fury was just too strong for Wilder from the start of the fight till it was stopped.
On two occasions, Wilder was knocked down by Fury. It was looking like an even contest until Wilder had an injury on his ear. He lost balance as a result.
With this victory, fury has made history as he is now the first fighter in boxing history to end two reigns of 10+ title defenses:
In 2015, Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko, who was attempting a 19th title defense and in 2020, Fury defeated Wilder, who was attempting an 11th title defense. This was Wilder’s 1st loss.
