The best fighters solve puzzles. Tonight @Tyson_Fury solved the puzzle that was Wilder by making him fight going backwards where he’s not as explosive. Big Manned him. #WilderFury2

Punch perfect from Tyson Fury! That’s boxing at the highest level! In and out of range an dictated the pace throughout the whole fight! Huge credit to Wilder for the bravery he showed cos he was gone from round 3 onwards. There’s only ONE FIGHT the world wants now! #AJvTF

His corner did he a FAVOR straight up!! No question about it. Equilibrium was super off and he may have been concussed too!
