TYSON FURY and his family are back in the UK after the Gypsy King’s stunning win in Las Vegas.
Fury partied with DJ Steve Aoki in Sin City until 3am after his incredible KO victory over Deontay Wilder.
In a truly unbelievable third round, Fury dropped Wilder before being dropped TWICE himself.
And the Bronze Bomber would be knocked to the ground four times before eventually succumbing to defeat and getting taken to hospital.
Fury roared: “Like the great John Wayne said I am made from pig, iron and steel baby!
“I was down a couple of times and hurt and Wilder is a tough man too after he got up a few times too.
“It was a great fight tonight, worthy of any trilogy in the sport, I always said I am the first best and he is second.
“But I went over to show love and respect and he didn’t want it to so I will pray for him.”
It was suggested that Wilder could hang up his gloves after the loss, but his trainer Malik Scott has revealed he will fight on.
And SunSport can reveal he will be out until MAY next year, with the American needing surgery on a broken hand.
FURY VS WILDER ROUND-UP
Tyson Fury has been handed a medical suspension following his sensational victory over Deontay Wilder.
The Wythenshawe warrior retained his WBC heavyweight title in an epic Las Vegas trilogy fight courtesy of a stunning 11th-round knockout.
But the former lineal heavyweight champ had to battle through adversity to register his first-ever title defence.
Fury, 33, was dropped twice in the fourth round and took several more of Wilder’s devastating right hands in the ensuing rounds.
And as a precaution, the Nevada State Athletic Commission have given him a standard 45-day suspension.
Former WBC champ Wilder, meanwhile, has been handed a six-month suspension by the NSAC.
Meanwhile, Frank Warren wants Anthony Joshua to ditch his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk so Fury can fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed blockbuster.
He told TalkSport: “If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winner?
“Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.
“From our perspective, we would love to do that fight, but if we can’t and Tyson wants to keep boxing, he’ll have to defend his title, if he doesn’t want to keep boxing, so be it.”
Finally, David Haye has called out Fury for a fight AGAIN and says he’ll only return to boxing to face the ‘No1 heavyweight on the planet’.
He told iFL TV: “I’m 100 per cent serious. I’ve said that the only person I’d put my body through a come back for would be for the number one heavyweight on the planet.
“There’s no reason why I’d punish myself and do what I need to do to put myself in a position to give myself any type of chance if it isn’t for the big one.
“It doesn’t get any bigger than that. I’d be like a 1000/1 underdog, for good reason.”
BOB’S YOUR UNCLE
Tyson Fury’s American promoter admits he was “completely wrong” for launching a foul-mouthed sexist rant at boxing presenter Kate Abdo.
He told iFL TV: “As far as Kate is concerned, I was completely wrong.
“We had made a deal with the producer televising the weigh-in and agreed no stare-down.
“So when she called for a stare-down, particularly after seeing the fighters’ animosity, verbally, at that press conference, I exploded. But it wasn’t her fault.
‘The producer reneged and she gets the instructions in her earpiece and she was told to order the stare-down.
“She is a terrific commentator, terrific reporter and she wasn’t the one I shouldn’t have directed my ire so I was completely wrong.”
GETTING WILD
Deontay Wilder will NOT retire after his gruelling loss to Tyson Fury – with the motivation to return by May 2022.
The likes of Anthony Joshua are among the targets next year “no matter” the result of AJ’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, says co-manager Shelly Finkel.
He told SunSport: “My gut says the big fights. It’s not on the drawing board now, but he would love to get Fury back again.
“But again, it’s early and we have to get through Usyk and Joshua and see a couple of other possibilities.
“It’s a massive fight [Wilder vs Joshua], no matter what happens in the Joshua – Usyk fight.
“And I’m not sure that Usyk, even with his great skills, will be able to deal with the size of Fury.”
WAR ENSEMBLE
Frank Warren has named Tyson Fury the No1 heavyweight in the world but left Anthony Joshua OUT of his top five.
AJ is only sixth on the list – with FOUR other Brits ahead of him.
HOLY KOW
Heavyweight star Adam Kownacki has been banned from blowing his nose after his devastating defeat to Robert Helenius on Saturday night.
He took a battering from the first bell, having his orbital bone fractured before the eventual sixth-round stoppage.
And in documents reported by the Mirror, he now can’t even blow his nose as he recovers.
The doctor’s report said: “You have a fracture of the orbital floor and will need to follow up with an ophthalmologist and plastic surgeon.
“Do not blow your nose. Elevate your head use ice packs.”
JOSH YOU WAIT
With Tyson Fury beating Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua has become boxing’s forgotten man.
He will fight Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch next spring.
FIGHT CLUB
Tyson Fury claims his mum has NEVER been to one of his fights.
He told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all.
“My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy.
“You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
CHAMP VS CHAMP
Frank Warren wants Anthony Joshua to ditch his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk so Tyson Fury can fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed blockbuster.
He told TalkSport: “If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winner?
“Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.
“From our perspective, we would love to do that fight, but if we can’t and Tyson wants to keep boxing, he’ll have to defend his title, if he doesn’t want to keep boxing, so be it.”
CAN’T TY HIM DOWN
Tyson Fury’s former trainer has revealed the tiny detail which enabled him to get up from the hard knockdown against Deontay Wilder.
Ben Davison was in Fury’s corner for his first fight against Wilder.
He said on Twitter: “The instinct and timing to brace upon the impact and only give his forehead, tucking his chin down was the key to being able get up!”
FACE THE USYK
Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk wasn’t impressed by Tyson Fury’s epic heavyweight clash with Deontay Wilder.
During an appearance on talkSPORT, the Ukrainian said: “The fight we saw on Saturday night [Fury vs Wilder] was not an impressive one.
“As a fight, it was a huge performance. But as a boxing match, it didn’t look like [one].
“There were two warriors trying to hit each other with anything they could just to kill each other.”
Krassuyk reckons the third instalment of Fury vs Wilder didn’t show anywhere near the amount of skill and technique displayed in Usyk’s dethroning of Anthony Joshua last month.
He continued: “But on the boxing side and technical side, I didn’t see anything really special from both fighters.”
PAYEDAY
David Haye has called out Tyson Fury for a fight AGAIN and says he’ll only return to boxing to face the ‘No1 heavyweight on the planet’.
He told iFL TV: “I’m 100 per cent serious. I’ve said that the only person I’d put my body through a come back for would be for the number one heavyweight on the planet.
“There’s no reason why I’d punish myself and do what I need to do to put myself in a position to give myself any time of chance if it isn’t for the big one.
“It doesn’t get any bigger than that. I’d be like a 1000/1 underdog, for good reason.
“Hopefully when team Fury crunch the numbers… something’s going to happen in the next two months when they’re going to be looking for an opponent. I know how big time boxing works.
“When he works out what money is generated with a Hayemaker fight vs any of the other options, although on paper they may be more respectable… he knows it’s out there.”
NO AVERAGE JOE
UFC commentator Joe Rogan has hailed Tyson Fury for the momentous victory in his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.
The Wythenshawe warrior retained his WBC heavyweight title last weekend with a stunning 11th-round KO victory in Las Vegas.
Combat sports fans across the globe were quick to praise the Brit for his first title defence, including boxing-mad Rogan.
Alongside a screengrab of the fight, Rogan wrote on Instagram: “All hail the @gypsyking101.
“One of the greatest heavyweight fights of all time. Incredible.”
WILD DAYS ARE OVER
Barry Hearn believes Deontay Wilder ‘looked a beaten man’ and could retire from boxing after his second loss to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
He told Boxing Social: “Some fight, some fight. It might be the last time we see Deontay Wilder out there.
“He looked a beaten man mentally and physically on the night, and subsequently the way he’s been talking.
“It was a comprehensive demolition job by Tyson.
“I think most of us predicted a win for Tyson Fury but didn’t perhaps see the drama we were going to get. It was a great fight for heavyweight boxing.
“A great fight for Tyson Fury who seems to be so confident he could walk through walls at the moment.”
SIDELINED
Tyson Fury has been handed a medical suspension following his sensational victory over Deontay Wilder.
The Wythenshawe warrior retained his WBC heavyweight title in an epic Las Vegas trilogy fight courtesy of a stunning 11th-round knockout.
But the former lineal heavyweight champ had to battle through adversity to register his first-ever title defence.
Fury, 33, was dropped twice in the fourth round and took several more of Wilder’s devastating right hands in the ensuing rounds.
And as a precaution, the Nevada State Athletic Commission have given him a standard 45-day suspension.
Former WBC champ Wilder, meanwhile, has been handed a six-month suspension by the NSAC.
NO LOVE LOST
Tommy Fury is finally set to take on rival Jake Paul this December in a huge £1m-PLUS grudge match.
The Love Island star and YouTuber have been embroiled in a bitter war-of-words over the last year.
His promoter Frank Warren told IFL TV: “At the moment we’re working through the terms, we’re quite close and I’m hoping we can get it over the line.
“It’s a great fight for Tommy. It’s a very lucrative fight for him. Financially how can you not turn that down.
“I think he wins it. It’s captured everyone’s imagination, it’s all they were talking about out in the States.
“Hopefully we’ll finish it off this week and we can move forward. It’ll be in late November, December.”
WILD ADVICE
Canelo Alvarez has offered Deontay Wilder some words of wisdom following his brutal loss to Tyson Fury.
During an appearance on The Last Stand Podcast, the Mexican said: “Great fight, great fight.
“I think Wilder needs more condition, more moves.
“He doesn’t know how to move the head. It is difficult when you don’t have that condition and you don’t know how to move.
“That is why Tyson Fury beat him. Tyson Fury is a great fighter.”
DEON DOWN
Deontay Wilder has been handed a six-month suspension after his brutal battering at the hands of Tyson Fury.
The American slugger was demolished by the Brit and finally KOd in the eleventh-round over the weekend.
It came after a fight of the century candidate between the pair with FIVE knockdowns at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
But Wilder has now been banned from getting back into the ring until April next year at the earliest.
The 41-2-1 heavyweight was dropped three times during the savage battle in front of a packed-out crowd.
He was taken to hospital straight after the bout for scans on his head and hands.
GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
Tyson Fury claims he could be one fight from retirement.
And his thrillogy victim Deontay Wilder faces hand surgery as the cost of his second defeat to the Brit adds up.
Fury retained his WBC heavyweight crown with a victory over American Wilder that Mike Tyson rated one of the all-time great bouts.
Now the Gypsy King could fight Anthony Joshua’s conqueror Oleksandr Usyk to unify the world titles, or hope the Ukrainian steps aside to allow a crowd-pulling clash with AJ.
But Fury said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen.
“I’ve got one fight left on my contract with Top Rank and ESPN and we’ll see what that is.
“But I’m not thinking about boxing right now. I don’t know how many fights I’ve got left.
“I don’t know if I need to fight any more.”
Meanwhile, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren claims his man “beats Joshua in every department”.
Warren said: “Tyson always felt, and I think anybody who watched the fight against Wilder would agree, that he had AJ’s number.
“He’s got a great chin, a bigger heart, he punches as hard as AJ – I don’t care what anyone says, look at those knockdowns against Wilder.
“And, by the way, would AJ beat Wilder? I don’t think he would have done, on that performance I saw.”
Fellow promoter Eddie Hearn Hearn told iFL TV: “Wilder shouldn’t be disheartened – because Fury is a brilliant fighter.
“But I don’t know how much he’s going to want it after that. I just think Fury’s got his number and absolutely terrorised him mentally.”
TYSON’S BOX AND CAB
Tyson Fury finished his journey home from Las Vegas with a 244-mile TAXI ride from Heathrow to Morecambe.
The Gypsy King endured a gruelling 24 hour trip back to the UK via Atlanta following his heroics at the weekend.
Fury, 33, partied long into the night alongside brother Tommy and wife Paris after his epic victory over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
Following his well-earned celebrations, the WBC heavyweight champion jetted from Vegas to Atlanta, before catching a connecting flight to Heathrow.
Rather than face boarding a third plane to Manchester, however, the shattered Gypsy King had other ideas.
Alongside Paris and brother Shane, Fury booked a cab to take them back to his home in Morecambe.
According to the Mirror, the journey set him back £261… a fee that won’t make too much of a dent after he earned more than £18million on Saturday night.
Ironically, Fury’s cab ride took an estimated four hours – when his final flight may have had him home in one or two.
‘FURY BETTER THAN AJ IN EVERY WAY’
Tyson Fury beats Anthony Joshua ‘in every department’ according to the Gypsy King’s promoter Frank Warren.
The prospect of the two Brits ever fighting took a major when Oleksandr Usyk comfortably outpointed Joshua – before Fury KO’d Deontay Wilder in theri trilogy bout.
Warren told talkSPORT: “Tyson always felt, and I think anybody who watched the fight against Wilder would agree, that he had AJ’s number.
“For me, he beats him in every department. He’s got a great chin, a bigger heart, he punches as hard as AJ – I don’t care what anyone says, look at those knockdowns against Wilder.
“And, by the way, would AJ beat Wilder? I don’t think he would have done, on that performance I saw.
“But does he [Fury] want the fight still? If it’s there and if it was to happen, that’s a choice he’ll make.
“I still think it would be a massive draw, everybody has got an opinion about what would happen in that fight, but for me there’s only one winner there.”
TYSON: MUM’S THE WORLD
Tyson Fury claims his mum has NEVER been to one of his fights.
And she doesn’t care about the Gypsy King being world champion so long as he is ‘healthy and happy’.
Fury is world boxing’s No1 after defeating Deontay Wilder in Saturday’s Las Vegas trilogy battle.
He had been hoping to fight Anthony Joshua in an all-British, world heavyweight unifier.
But AJ lost his belts to Oleksandr Usyk last month and has already triggered his rematch clause – with that fight likely taking place in March.
Fury will now consider his options after becoming king of the ring.
But one person who isn’t too interested in his next step is Fury’s mum, Amber.
The Gypsy King told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all.
“My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy.
“You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
STEP ASIDE, AJ
Promoter Frank Warren wants Anthony Joshua to ditch his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk so Tyson Fury can fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed blockbuster.
Warren was beaming in Las Vegas at the weekend after watching his man deliver a sensational 11th-round KO of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight.
That successful WBC title defence has cemented Fury as one of the greatest heavyweights ever.
Joshua, meanwhile, will attempt a revenge mission after instructing his promoter Eddie Hern to thrash out terms for the Usyk rematch.
Joshua was easily outboxed by the former cruiserweight king in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
But Warren has urged AJ to consider stepping aside to let Fury go toe-to-toe with Usyk for all the belts.
Speaking to talkSPORT, the 69-year-old said: “If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winner?
“Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.”
‘HE’S GOT BOTTLE’
Eddie Hearn has heaped praise upon Deontay Wilder for his role in one of the most thrilling boxing encounters in recent memory despite losing to Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
The Bronze Bomber knocked his opponent down twice in the fourth round and looked set to win at one point, but he started being dominated by the Briton as he tired.
Hearn told iFL TV: “His credibility was on the floor before Saturday. He got absolutely hammered in the last fight and he was full of excuses.
“His credibility was shot to pieces. Now I think it’s gone through the roof because although his tank was empty, he stuck in there.
“In any normal situation, I feel the corner would have pulled him out. But he deserves credit. He’s got bottle.
“I still think he’s in a good position. Wilder shouldn’t be disheartened because Fury is a brilliant fighter.
“But I don’t know how much he’s going to want it after that. I just think Fury’s got his number and absolutely terrorised him mentally.”
DEONTAY NEEDS HAND SURGERY
Deontay Wilder will have surgery for a broken hand before setting his sights on a May 2022 return fight – with Anthony Joshua eyed.
Wilder was brutally knocked out by Tyson Fury in round 11 of their trilogy bout, but only after twice flooring his British rival in the fourth.
But it was there that the American, who carried 41 knockouts into the fight, broke one of the most lethal right hands in boxing history.
As a result, he will go under the knife next week after returning home to Alabama following the gruelling Las Vegas thriller.
His co-manager Shelly Finkel told SunSport: “Deontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week.
“He has to have surgery, the knuckle is OK, it’s the bone behind the knuckle that broke. He’s sore but he was OK, he was home yesterday.
“He’s healing and at this point, if everything is OK, after the hand surgery he’ll probably look to enter the ring mid next year, like April or May.”
Wilder, 35, blamed his rematch loss to Fury, 33, last year on everything but a masterclass from the Gypsy King, who he initially drew with in 2018.
His excuses, which were stuck by but never proven, ranged from Fury fighting with WEIGHTS in his gloves and his water being SPIKED.
But after 11 epic rounds in their trilogy decider, Wilder’s reputation has been resorted despite failing to reclaim the WBC title.
IRON MIKE HAILS ‘ALL-TIME GREAT’ FIGHT
Mike Tyson has dubbed Tyson Fury’s win over Deontay Wilder one of the best fights in boxing history – with both reaching ‘all-time great status’.
The British star, 33, recovered from two knockdowns to KO the Bronze Bomber in the 11th round of a thrilling fight in Las Vegas to retain his WBC heavyweight belt.
Fans immediately called it an instant classic, with Iron Mike, 55, claiming it’s ‘one of the greatest’ fights in boxing history.
Tyson tweeted: “Fury vs Wilder fight will go down as one of greatest.
“Not for skill, but for action and excitement.
“That fight was all guts, heart & determination.
“Everybody won Saturday night.
“The fight was bigger than the hype. Both of them reached all time great status…”
