Wilders boxing game

Fury would rally back and drop Wilder two more times for a knockout in the eleventh. Joshua explains why an effective jab, in the modern era, is not enough to be a dominant force in the heavyweight division.

I met the guy who makes gloves the other day, and he said that they never used to have to make special gloves. But now heavyweights are 17 to 19 stone and six-foot ten. The whole division is changed in the last, like, five years," Joshua said. They'd get a bit tired, but they were conditioned because they were lighter. But now, when you've got big guys [who are] six-foot-seven, they get tired. Britain has a formidable crop of heavyweights, but where would you rank the biggest names in a top five?

Fury had appeared to be on the brink of his first professional defeat when he was dropped twice amid a ferocious fightback by Wilder. That's the first time I've been dropped twice in one round. Everybody thought it was over but not me. I always knew I was going to get up and win the fight. Fury has previously won 'Fighter of the Year' in and co-winner alongside Teofimo Lopez in and is the only British fighter to win that award twice.

His first fight against Wilder, which ended in a split decision draw, had earned the 'Round of the Year' award in Search Sky Sports.
