Fury bounced back and began to turn the tables on Wilder, who kept throwing punches despite fading in the late rounds.
Then Fury ended things in the 11th. He clocked Wilder in the head with a huge right hand, sending the 6-foot-7 Bronze Bomber falling to the canvas.
The referee stopped the fight immediately, giving Fury the win. The Gypsy King retained his WBC title and is now 31-0-1.
The 33-year-old sent a message to his doubters over Twitter after the win:
Don’t ever doubt me, when the chips are down I always deliver!
