I didn't pay the £27.50 BT Sport were asking for live coverage, but sounds like it would've been a great watch
Tremendous sporting comeback from Tyson Fury, by all accounts never took a step backwards against Wilder and the glory of being crowned World Champion again after being in the pits is a great real-life story. Shows what can happen when you're prepared to give it a shot, and after yesterday no finer example of how to succeed with positive self-belief
Expect a rematch, and possible reunification of titles against Joshua
Dont see a need for a 3rd fight such was the dominance, hes been to America twice and Wilder still cant beat him,in fact he hardly laid a glove on him this last fight. Theres only one fight for Fury now and that's Joshua but if I was him I'd be keeping well clear of Fury for a while after his recent performance,he'll destroy AJ on that form.

Depends if Wilder has the stomach for it, but i agree there's no question of who's the top man
Did you watch, nb? If BT offer it at a much lower price i'd bite, even with (or especially with) the outcome known
Well I havent watched pro heavyweight boxing for some time now but thanks to the link I watched this. Fury was impressive: but licking Wilders blood!!!??? That's put me right off again. I'm sticking to Olympic bouts for my boxing fixes.
The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

That was just Fury playing up to the crowd! He'd shit-talked about "tasting Wilder's blood" in the build up, then just wagged his tongue when the blood appeared
Tasteless... as one might say, but that's pro boxing and it's about the human endeavour to be top of the pile at great personal risk that fascinates me (with great rewards for those with the ability, of course)
Watched the Youtube footage and Fury was the deserved winner. Not a great Heavyweight champ by any means but he won fair and square with solid boxing. He'll be the daddy for 12 months then Joshua will mash him I reckon.

How is fury not a great HW champion? His size paired with technical ability would make him a nightmare for any ATG heavyweight.
He boxed smart on Saturday, marching forward, closing the distance and negating the only weapon wilder has, the straight right hand. The 2/3 punch combos followed by the clinch where he then leaned every bit of his 19 stone on wilder left him exhausted within 2 rounds, it was only a matter of time from there.
Don’t think Joshua has the tools to beat fury, I think it’d be a closer fight than the wilder one, as Joshua at least possesses fundamental boxing skills unlike wilder, but I think it’d be a similar dismantling, just a couple of rounds later.
Leader of the little gang of immature cretins.

Guess it depends on what you consider constitutes a great heavyweight. Is winning the belts enough or does it need to be done in a particular style? FWIW I think he beats AJ if that fight gets made and surely then has to be considered a great.

The thing with Fury is he doesn't have a particular style and as shown against Wilder hes VERY unpredictable, I used to hate the sight of Fury but once you take away all the bollox that comes out his mouth which is purely to sell tickets and ruffle feathers, theres a tremendous boxing brain in there and his hand speed you'll struggle to match from ANY heavyweight on the planet.

I watched the full fight just after it happened and was stunned by his performance, not as much as Wilder appeared to be though, he got schooled for 7 rounds

He’s saying he lost because the costume he was wearing to come into the ring was too heavy and that’s why his legs had gone by round 3!!!
