Tyson Fury licks Deontay Wilder during TKO win
Tyson Fury beat Deontay Wilder via 7th round TKO in their rematch on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and he got a little nasty while doing so.
Fury knocked down Wilder twice before the fight was stopped and had Wilder on shaky legs for most of the fight. Wilder was also bleeding from his left ear. During the 7th round, Fury was even seen licking Wilder’s neck area, where some of the blood was.

Not much longer after that moment, the fight was stopped, giving Fury the win.
The two fought to a draw in 2018, which is the only time Fury has not won a pro fight. He’s now 30-0-1 in his career, with 21 knockouts. The loss marks the first of Wilder’s professional career, making him 42-1-1.
The two fighters could be in line for a third fight after Wilder recovers, or Fury might want to take on Anthony Joshua, who is regarded as one of the best heavyweights in the world.
No matter how you look at it, it’s hard not to come away impressed by Fury.
