Deontay Wilder Admitted To The Hospital After Being Beaten By Tyson Fury In Historic Bout

Deontay Wilder was admitted to the hospital following his brutal knockout loss against Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.

In an event that was considered a potential possibility for title fights of the year, the American was struck three times. The referee Russell Mora immediately stopped the fight following the incident. Wilder was heavily slammed for the third fight in the eleventh round.

Wilder suffered defeat for the second match in succession by the Brit, who was able to keep his WBC title with victory. The American is now scheduled to undergo preventative tests at the hospital.

35-year-old Wilder is not expected to be kept in a hotel for long periods of time, according to the manager of his, Shelly Finkel. Finkel claims that he’s in good shape.

Boxing journalist Dan Rafael tweeted;

“Was texting with Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel.

Said Deontay is OK and won’t be staying overnight at the hospital.

Wilder himself did speak after the fight, insisting he wasn’t sure what went wrong.

I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight,’ he said. ‘I’m not sure what happened. I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 pounds to be a ballet dancer.

He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.“
