Every Angle Of Deontay Wilder's Brutal Punch That Floored Tyson Fury

Every Angle Of Deontay Wilder's Brutal Punch That Floored Tyson Fury

Incredible recovery from the 'Gypsy King'.

I'm still wondering how Tyson Fury got up from THAT punch.

With minutes left of Fury's heavyweight world title bout, Deontay Wilder detonated a lethal combo.

A huge right-hand followed by a sneaky left-hoot floored Fury to the canvas in brutal fashion.

The devastating two-punch combination looks even worse slowed down and in various different angles.

HOW?! JUST HOW?!

Fury mustered up incredible strength to lift himself of the floor and to finish the fight strong.

But there's a very, very good reason why he waited for so long before getting up to his feet.

"He showed what he was made of, even the knockdown, I thought it was all over in that twelfth round," Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, said.

"Afterwards we spoke about it, and he said the reason he didn't get up so quickly - he said he couldn't quite feel his legs. He didn't want to get up and stand on wobbly legs and the referee stops it.

"The referee made it quite clear before the fight, he went to both fighters' dressing rooms and said that after the count of ten - and he got up at nine - after the fighters get up they will be told to walk three paces to their right and left, and back again.

"Both of them [Fury and Wilder] had their instructions and that's what Tyson did, he had the presence of mind to do that."

Great thinking from the big man.

Here's hoping Fury and Wilder run it back following their epic first encounter.

And a rematch looks likely with both camps wanting the fight.

Fury is hoping to stage the second bout at Old Trafford, though it'll most likely be held across the pond, again.

Las Vegas and New York City have become potential destinations.

Who takes the rematch? Let us know.
