  3. 'Wilder couldn't handle Fury's best'published at 05:42 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    David Haye on BT Sport: "That was wilder on his best day in there. He was doing everything he wanted to do but Fury took his best and Wilder couldn't handle Fury's best.

    "Fury has shown conclusively that he is the man."

    Richie Woodhall on BT Sport: "I will take my hat off to Deontay Wilder, because it was a dominant fight from Fury but Wilder continually showed how dangerous he was with one punch."

    Our verdict - round 10

    Heavyweight boxing is alive! The sound of that right from Fury echoed all over the T Mobile arena! Wilder didn't take his time to get back up. Fighting on heart. But that heart is enough to land some blows late on. 10-8 to Fury.

  7. Postpublished at 05:38 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    David Haye on BT Sport: "Deontay Wilder is disorganised in there. He does not have the boxing skills but he somehow is managing to find his shots. But that last flurry didn't bother Fury."

  8. Round 10published at 05:37 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    Fury comes forward straight from the off and a couple of big shots get through. Fury has landed twice as many punches as Wilder in this fight but Wilder is still going.

    Wilder goes for a body shot but that leaves him open and a whopping right hand sends down Wilder again.

    The crowd roars again but Wilder gets up on his feet and insists he is good to continue. The referee lets him.

    It looks like Fury will finish the job now as an uppercut comes through but suddenly Wilder comes alive and finishes strongly with a few hits connecting. Incredible finish to the round!

    Richie Woodhall on BT Sport: "Tyson Fury is just starting to fight now, he is looking dangerous and warming up to the task."

    Our verdict - round nine

    Wilder still unleashing the single punches. There's one to the body and one to the head but Fury brushes both off. The American gave it his all in the first four rounds but there doesn't seem much in the tank.

    A right uppercut at the end of the round catches Fury but it's another 10-9 to the champion.

  11. Round Ninepublished at 05:33 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    "Stay off the rope," Deontay Wilder is urged before the start of the ninth round. Just staying on his feet looks to be taking all his effort now.

    Fury is in control but still has to be wary of that Wilder right hand, which does get through at one stage.

    Fury backs off but then steps up a gear and lands a couple of big shots that has Wilder wobbling again but somehow he manages to muster some energy again to land a late uppercut before the bell.

  12. Postpublished at 05:30 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    David Haye on BT Sport: "Wilder seems like his on borrowed time in there right now, he is putting nothing together. When he does throw they are big looping right hands that are bouncing off Fury."

    Our verdict - round eight

    Power is gone from Wilder's punches. He lands cleanly with a one-two which Fury smiles and shrugs off. Wilder is being picked apart as he backs up. Yet another big 10-9 to Fury.

    One. Way. Traffic.

  15. Round Eightpublished at 05:28 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    Wilder looks to have depleted that little secret well of energy he found for round four and his punches lack power and are bouncing off Fury, who has the wind in his sails now.

    A big one-two has Wilder staggering. He stays on his feet but is merely pawing at Fury, there's just no energy behind the punches.

    Wilder hanging on.

    Our verdict - round seven

    A boxing masterclass from Fury as Wilder holds on. A remarkable comeback after that astonishing round four. Much like we saw in the second fight between these two, Fury's quick feet and counter punching is too much for Wilder to contend with. The American is still throwing though. Fury can't afford to be complacent. 10-9 to Fury.

  17. Round Sevenpublished at 05:24 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    Into round seven. This is where Fury stopped Wilder last time and he's quickly on the front foot. Roars from the crowd as Fury connects with a good right hand before then attacking the body.

    Another big right hand connects and Wilder looks like he is going. The American holds on and just about survives to the bell.

  18. Postpublished at 05:21 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Our verdict - round six

    Fury's evasiveness and awkwardness makes it difficult for Wilder to land cleanly, although both fighters exchange decent rights midway through the round. Wild swing from Wilder towards the end of the round shows his fatigue. Another 10-9 round to the Briton who, one our card, is edging this by one round now.

  19. Postpublished at 05:21 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    David Haye on BT Sport: "Not a good sign from Wilder throwing a desperation right hand. It was never going to land and it is a negative sign from a fighter."

  20. Round Sixpublished at 05:20 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    Fury lands a jab, Wilder misses with a swing of the right but then both land heavy hits almost at the same time.

    Into the final minute and Fury puts together a combination before catching Wilder with a right that puts him onto the ropes.

    Fury finishes on the front foot as Wilder throws a wild punch before the bell.
