by unanimous decision, but it was the pair of cuts to the eye of the Gypsy King that people will talk about in the end.
Fury won the fight on all three judges' scorecards, one 116-112, the others 117-11 and 118-110 - but that doesn't tell half the story of the fight.
The man who now possesses the WBC 'Mayan' belt, as well as his lineal heavyweight champion title remains undefeated but suffered two cuts to his right eye, which impaired his vision for the remaining 10 rounds of the fight.
But the best overcome the worst, the adversity.
What did we learn as Fury won for the 29th time of his career?We know that a deal has been signed and sealed for the pair to meet again, all that has to happen now is for it to be delivered. Wilder-Fury II should happen on 22 February in Vegas this time, and despite the cut and a couple of rounds off, Fury was dominant.
