Living up to the hype, but producing an unlikely outcome, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fought to a draw.

In a fight that delivered in every sense of the way, Deontay Wilder (40–0–1) and Tyson Fury (27-0-1) fought to a draw in what many deemed a controversial decision.

What was the high point of the fight?

Fury got the better of Wilder in the early rounds, using head movement and footwork to avoid the heavy punches of “The Bronze Bomber.” A jab from Wilder opened up a cut on the nose of Fury in the fourth. A two-punch combination from Fury in the seventh landed flush on Wilder, and whilst the American continued to push forward Fury landed a big uppercut whilst his back was against the ropes.
