Undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) scored an eleventh round TKO victory over former champion Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) in their third fight in the main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilder was knocked down in the third round after a right-uppercut combination. In the fourth round, Fury responded with two knockdowns already. But in the seventh round, Fury was able to visibly shake Wilder and send him to the floor again in the tenth round. Wilder, by some miracle, was able to get up and continue the fight, giving the audience a solid contender for the best round of the year. In the eleventh round, Fury with a right kick sent Wilder to the floor face down and referee Russell Mora stopped the fight at 1:10.

Fury is set to face mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte in his next fight.

Organizers said attendance for the fight was 15,820.
