Tyson Fury has received universal praise for his sensational knockout victory over Deontay Wilder in their heavyweight trilogy bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, but Daniel Cormier believes ‘The Gypsy King’ got off lightly in the fourth round.
Fury was knocked down twice in the fourth round and, during the second knockdown, referee Russell Mora appeared to pause his count to instruct Wilder back to his corner.
Cormier, a former UFC two-division champion, believes Wilder could have walked away with the victory had the referee not given Fury an extra two seconds to recover.
