In his third fight, Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) knocked out Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) in the eleventh round, defending his first WBC Heavyweight title. After the fight, the champion commented on his win.

"You know, we had a great fight tonight. It was worth every trilogy in the history of the sport. I'm not going to apologize. Wilder is a tough fighter. He gave me a real chance to make some good money tonight. And I've always said I'm the best in the world and he's second," "The Gypsy King" said after the fight.

"Deontay Wilder doesn't like me. You know why? Because I beat him three times. Because I'm an athlete. I tried to show him my support and respect, but he doesn't respect me. So that's his problem. I will pray for him that God will soften his heart," Fury said after the fight.
