At the Staples Center, where LeBron James calls home for the next four seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fought to a draw.
While Wilder knocked down Fury twice including in the 12th round, the latter outboxed the former for longer stretches of the bout.
In the second-biggest fight of the year after Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin 2, the Staples Center crowd certainly got their money’s worth.
As for James who has previously attended the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor match, he had the ultimate praise for the heavyweight world championship fight:
Man that was the funniest/craziest fight I’ve ever seen in my life.
