Deontay Wilder Retains WBC Heavyweight Title, After Split Draw With Tyson Fury

Share This
The bout between world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury ended in a split draw Saturday night, with Wilder retaining his WBC heavyweight title after knocking down his British challenger twice.

In his first bout of significance since he shocked the world by upsetting his way to the heavyweight championship in 2015, Tyson Fury survived a pair of hellacious knockdowns — including one in Round 12 — and appeared to outclass WBC champion Deontay Wilder before settling for a split draw in front of 17,698 fans at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002 saw both fighters combine for a modern classic that was overflowing with tension and drama. One judge had it considerably wide at 115-111 for Wilder while the second had it 114-112 for Fury. The final scorecard was 113-113. CBS Sports scored it 115-111 for Fury.
