Tyson Fury, the current WBC world heavyweight champion, recalled the heavy knockdown he suffered Deontay Wilder in their first fight. Then, in the 12th round, the Briton collapsed on the canvas unconscious, but was able to get up and continue the fight.

“I was unconscious for a few seconds... I didn’t want to rush because I didn’t know how my legs would behave. I just got hit hard, and if you get up instantly and then fall again, the fight will be stopped. So I took advantage of every moment... I was bulletproof that evening,” Fury said.

Let's remember that Fury's first confrontation with Wilder ended in a draw.
