LeBron James, like many sports fans on Saturday night, was watching attentively during the rematch between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas. Fury won the rematch decisively after scoring a knockdown early that caught Wilder behind the ear before the referee called the fight and Wilder’s corner simultaneously threw in the towel to call of the fight for their fighter.
Although some who were watching the fight wanted it to continue in order to let Wilder have another chance at a knockout, he was frankly stumbling around and had little balance after the first knockdown. LeBron believes Wilder’s corner, and the referee did him a favor on Saturday.
LeBron, as he addressed this week when he weighed in on the Houston Astros scandal, loves sports. But he also loves a good competition and it is clear that the fight had already gone Fury’s way on Saturday night. While James did watch the fight, his business partner Maverick Carter and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green were actually in attendance. LeBron, meanwhile, has an early game at 3:30 p.m. EST at home against the Boston Celtics.
