Fury crushes Wilder in heavyweight title rematchBritish boxer Tyson Fury, right, knocks American Deontay Wilder down before stopping him in the seventh round during their World Boxing Council heavyweight championship fight in front of a crowd of 15,800 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS: Tyson Fury reigns again as a heavyweight world champion after battering Deontay Wilder to a stunning seventh-round stoppage in their World Boxing Council title rematch. Two of the judges had the Briton winning every round, while the third judge gave one round to Wilder. The "Bronze Bomber" was unable to surpass Muhammad Ali's record of 10 successful heavyweight title defenses. Fury regained a piece of the heavyweight title more than four years after beating Wladimir Klitschko for the WBA, IBF and WBO belts -- and after depression, drink and drug problems had threatened to end his career.
