Fury stops Wilder to win WBC heavyweight championship

Tyson Fury produced a stunning performance to stop Deontay Wilder in the seventh round of their world heavyweight boxing rematch.

Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion, dominated throughout, flooring his American rival in the third and fifth rounds.

The British star then dished out more punishment in the seventh, leading Wilder’s corner to throw in the towel.

The victory, which comes 15 months after their first meeting that ended in a controversial draw, gives Fury the WBC title and also maintains his unbeaten record, while ending Wilder’s.
