Hats off to Tyson Fury from battling all the odds to come back from addiction, and near suicides, to give Deontay Wilder all he can handle. Fury showed incredible will as he got back up off the canvas in the 12th round after getting dropped by a Wilder straight right and a left hook which sent Fury's eyes rolling back in his head.

The problem will this fight was that Fury basically outboxed Wilder for the first nine rounds and it looked like the only way Wilder could avoid defeat was to knock Fury out. When Fury got off the canvas in the 12th it looked like he would be crowned the new WBC Champion, but that was not to be.

When the scores were read one judge had it 115-111 for Wilder while the second had it 114-112 for Fury. The final scorecard was 113-113. How anyone could have it 115-111 for Wilder is a mystery.

The mega million dollar rematch is bound to happen.
