Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 09.10.2021

Las Vegas, October 9, 2021 — Under the blazing lights of the T-Mobile Arena, Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury sealed his dominance over Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder in what will long be remembered as one of the most explosive heavyweight bouts in modern boxing history.

The highly anticipated trilogy fight — billed as “Once and for All” — delivered on every ounce of hype, with five knockdowns, relentless exchanges, and a dramatic eleventh-round knockout that left the crowd of nearly 16,000 in disbelief. Fury retained his WBC and lineal heavyweight championships in a bout that had fans, pundits, and legends of the sport calling it an instant classic.

There was huge excitement ahead of their 3rd fight, following the first fight split draw and the second fight where Fury dominated, could Wilder hit back with a victory?

Wilder began the contest with a clear strategy: target the body, jab to control distance, and keep Fury honest. For the first few minutes, the former champion executed his plan with urgency, snapping jabs and digging rights into Fury’s midsection. But Fury, ever the tactician, weathered the early surge and began applying pressure of his own in the second.

The drama exploded in the third when Fury uncorked a thudding right that dropped Wilder for the first time in the fight. The Alabama native rose, wounded but defiant, and in the very next round, answered with devastating force — flooring Fury not once, but twice with thunderous rights that turned the tide and raised hopes of a stunning comeback.

But Fury, as always, was far from finished. Regaining his rhythm in the middle rounds, he battered Wilder with short shots inside, wearing down the challenger’s legs and resolve. Wilder’s stamina faded under the weight of Fury’s relentless assault and sheer size — the Brit came in at a career-high 277 pounds, using every ounce to lean, push, and smother Wilder’s offense.

The tenth round saw another knockdown from Fury, as a short right found its target and sent Wilder reeling. Yet it was the eleventh where the curtain truly fell. Fury landed a clean, crushing right to the temple that sent Wilder crashing down for the final time. Referee Russell Mora stepped in without a count — a fitting end to a war that tested the limits of both fighters.

With this emphatic win, Fury not only closed the chapter on one of boxing’s most volatile rivalries, but also solidified his place as the king of the heavyweights. For Wilder, it was a loss marked by courage, heart, and power — but ultimately, the night belonged to Fury.
