will go down as one of the greatest in history as well. there have been some great fights, the likes of muhammad ali and joe fraser, they had three bouts, three good bouts. the second, though, was not anything really to write about, but as far as deontay wilder and tyson fury are concerned, every bout they have had has been better than the previous. there was so much hype in the build up to this fight because of the rivalry between the pair. there is no love lost between them. not particularly respectful of each other, there was a lot of abuse sent either way from both fighters, but the fight more than lived up to expectation and they had five knock downs in this fight, it was incredible. at one moment, it looked like one fighter was about to win, only for the other to rally back. fury finally won it in the 11th round, as you say, with a knockdown and it ends what is a brilliant trilogy emphatically. i caught up with fury as he was making his way out of the arena and he acknowledged it
but there is no rush. he needs some time out now and whatever he wants to do is what we will do. in terms of a unification bout, realistically, when do you think that will happen? it couldn t happen, i don t think, untilautumn, maybe this time next year, because obviously i think they are talking about putting that fight on sometime in march, so they will need six months after that, so that is when it would happen. it would be an ideal world for anthonyjoshua not to go for the rematch and we could go straight to it. i think the unification bout is one for the future, but for now, i think tyson fury will have a well deserved rest. he put in a really good performance and he said something on stage in the press conference afterwards and he said, i always find a way to win. his issues with alcohol and drugs in the past have been well documented, his battle with mental health and he said i have been down and out but i always find a way to come back and in a lot of ways he showed that tonigh
there were some shaky moments in there, but i never lost faith and i continued on and i carried on and persevered and got that single punch knockout. as soon as i landed and jumped on the ropes, i knew it was over, he was not getting back up from that. it was a great trilogy. you need a good dance partner for trilogies and wilder has been a good dance partner. but there is no rematch clause. it is actually done. wilder is done, there is no more deontay wilder. a deserved rest for tyson fury now, but i think the long term goal will be to win all the belts in the heavyweight division. 0leksandr usyk has the other belt after dethroning anthonyjoshua. they will have a rematch next year. tyson fury s promoter, frank warren, says the end goal will be to perhaps challenge the winner of that bout sometime in the autumn next year. they both have to get, as you say, the rematch with usyk and joshua, so that will take place and whoever wins wins and they will have the belts and then maybe we can
but he did, he found a way to win. brilliant, brilliant performance by him and as i say, his long term goal now would be to unify the division and finish his career as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. we can talk now to steve egan, the first person to start coaching tyson fury at the age of 1a. thank you for joining us. what did you make of his bout? . ., joining us. what did you make of his bout? ., ., ., bout? amazing. from the third round onwards, bout? amazing. from the third round onwards. you bout? amazing. from the third round onwards. youiust bout? amazing. from the third round onwards, you just never bout? amazing. from the third round onwards, you just never knew - bout? amazing. from the third round onwards, you just never knew what . onwards, you just never knew what was going to happen, did you? amazing performance from tyson, showing the guts and determination, and his will to win is second to none. to get up twice in the fourth round and keep pus
