LAS VEGAS -- Deontay Wilder just simply wouldn't go away. Not after a third-round knockdown. Not as Tyson Fury battered him around the ring, round after round, after even he survived two knockdowns in the fourth round.
But Fury wore down the challenger, scoring another knockdown in Round 10 before brutally finishing Wilder with a highlight-reel TKO in the 11th on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in one of the most action-packed heavyweight title fights of all time.
When they met in December 2018, Fury and Wilder battled to a controversial split draw. Wilder (42-1-2, 41 KOs) scored two knockdowns in the first fight (Rounds 9 and 12), but Fury appeared to win virtually every other round.
