Wilder, having lost his WBC heavyweight title and undefeated record in the second fight, replaced his trainer and entered the ring with a visible determination to avenge his defeat.

Fury landed a devastating right hook to the side of Wilder's head, sending him face-first to the canvas. The referee immediately waved off the fight, declaring Fury the winner by knockout.
