- Fury floors Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas in the 11th round
Tyson Fury declared himself the “greatest heavyweight of my era” after Saturday night’s heart-pounding win over Deontay Wilder to defend his World Boxing Council heavyweight title on the Las Vegas strip.
“I can only beat whoever’s in my era and I’ve done that all my life,” Fury said. “I can only be the best of my day and I’ve done that. I’m the greatest heavyweight of my era, without a doubt. There’s a long, long line of [great champions]and they go right back to John L Sullivan, Jack Dempsey, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, the Klitschko brothers, even the guys from today like Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk and everybody else.
