Tyson Fury beat Otto Wallin at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada despite suffering two cuts to his eye as he looks to set up a rematch of his WBC heavyweight title fight against Deontay Wilder.
Fury made an eye-catching Vegas debut in June with a flamboyant win over Tom Schwarz but this was none the same. A unanimous decision victory but at a huge cost, an injury that could see him sidelined for a number of months.
Wallin provided a far sterner test than expected, coming in a 33/1 outsider, the Swede didn't manage to get the result but walks away with a number of new fans. Recap on the fight below.

"I have lightning reflexes for a giant. I am a giant of a heavyweight, there has never been a heavyweight like me and there has never been a heavyweight who can move like that.
"I'm a freak of nature, I defy every law of gravity, it shouldn't be possible for a man of my height and weight to move like that.
"I can beat them all."
Find me a more confident boxer. I dare you.
“He wasn't ill. He had diabetes, problems with his feet and stuff. He died of a heart attack, it was probably related to the diabetes when he said it but I don't know why. Maybe he felt something or maybe not.
“I've just been trying to keep going like he said. Even the day after he passed away I was in the gym working out. I was thinking about him. It was hard to keep it together, I was almost crying on and off but I got through it. I stayed in the gym and it has paid off.”
