    Fury v Wilder III

    Oh my what a fight we have here. Fury with the damage in round three and Wilder with that devastating response in round four.

    Who is going to land the next telling shot? It could be the one that determines this fight and it is Fury who gets through with a strong right hand. Wilder gets in close but Fury has recovered well after the shock of round four.

    Wilder is looking tired.

    PLOT TWIST!

    Fury is going for this now. Wilder is unsteady and his punches a little wild as Fury uses his long reach to try and land a few jabs.

    Fury has Wilder up on the ropes and connects with a one-two but suddenly Wilder comes alive and that devastating right hand gets through and puts Fury on the floor!

    Fury v Wilder III

    Quick feet from Fury and he connects with a body shot and then a left hook to the head.

    Wilder went in hard and fast early and there's just a hint he is maybe tiring a little bit but he does land a big swinging right to Fury's face.

    But that's just angered Fury and a big right hand sends Wilder to the canvas!

    Our verdict - round two

    Wilder falling short with overhand rights - Fury can see it coming from a mile off. The American does then connect with a right, but Fury comes back with one of his own. Both fighters trading hands on the inside. A close round but we're giving it 10-9 to Fury. He levels things up.

  12. Round Twopublished at 05:05 British Summer Time 10 October 2021

    Fury v Wilder III

    Much, much better start to this round by Fury as he gets in early and aggressively this time. He's finding his range and a strong right hand gets through.

    Both then exchange punches, Fury immediately responding to a right hander from Wilder with one of his own.

    Close round.

    Richie Woodhall on BT Sport: "That right hand at the end of the round really did swing the momentum back into Fury's favour. But in terms of points scored Wilder's work was more significant than Fury's big right hand."
