Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder live fight reaction: Gypsy King wins in Las Vegas… is Anthony Joshua next?

The dust is beginning to settle on Tyson Fury's big night in Las Vegas where he was crowned the new WBC heavyweight champion.

'The Gypsy King' overwhelmed Deontay Wilder from the opening bell, flooring the American twice before the towel was mercifully thrown in in the seventh round.

Fury and his people partied long into the night after his big night as talk with a unification fight with Anthony Joshua now begins to take over.

However, there are plenty of obstacles on the way to a bout that would surely go down as the biggest in the history of British boxing.

Relive how the bout unfolded with Standard Sport's fight report.

Fury reaction

"I'm my own worst critic and even though it was a fantastic performance and I got a great win, I know I can do better.

"I've only just started with my new trainer, SugarHill Steward. We only had seven weeks to perfect a Kronk Gym style. But I'm a quick learner and I aim to get back to the gym straightaway, to work on balance and straight punches.

"I'm going to be putting people to sleep left, right and centre. Don't forget when I came here people said I can't punch. Wilder himself said I've got 'pillow fists' in the past.

"Well it didn't do badly for an old fat guy who can't punch, did I?"
