He gets off of the floor and stuns Wilder with a beautiful shot, thus curbing Wilders enthusiasm to go for the finish. What a performance from Fury, he boxed brilliantly and showed incredible heart and determination. He's the best Heavyweight on the planet, no question, Joshua isn't dodging anyone though, he's just doing what he has to do, people need to accept that.
I think it’s worth mentioning - Fury can still get better fitter. Don’t think the same can be said for wilder. His only option will be to try and get it done ASAP. He knows he can hurt fury. But will he fancy it knowing he couldn’t beat him before. I think this will have damaged him far more than Fury.

I've said from the beginning, he is and always was a top bloke, he made some non-pc remarks which obviously people had to dislike in the media for their own career and PR but underneath he is a top bloke and his missus deserves a hell of amount of respect and praise, she has stuck through him through thick and thin literally.
He does things not for the media attention or likes on social media he does them because it’s the right thing to do like giving a homeless person in LA his shoes, never gonna happen but has to be favourite for SPOTY
Fantastic performance from Fury. How he got up from that knockdown i will never know. No one else would have. Lets not forget where he was 12 months ago so he will get better, his fitness, reflexes etc. He is a true boxer and would likely do the same to AJ who is a better boxer than Wilder but has his own frailties. AJ would have the same punchers chance as Wilder or Klitschko did.
People assuming Wilder would now lose to AJ based on that performance are wrong. Fury did that to him. AJ not hard to find. If those two fought it would be an epic shootout. 50-50. Boxing is rarely straightforward
I don't think the rematch happens soon. Wilder spent most of the fight punching air. They won't want that again. I expect a real good attempt at Joshua negotiations in the next couple of weeks for the April date. They may fail but more due to promoter issues than the fighters.
What an unbelievable comeback from Fury. I have always been his biggest fan. He will never be outboxed and the way he got up in the 12th i'm not sure he can be knocked out. Absolutely buzzing he is now getting all the recognition he deserves. I'm not even too bothered about the result, everyone knows he won that fight, I'm just glad he is back and looking happy.
I cannot stand Fury, but always respected his skill/technique, which he has in bucket loads, I did not know how big his heart was until Sunday morning though!
That result was as corrupt as corrupt can be, boxing lets itself down again. Even some of the septic commentators were shaking their head, says it all!
Boxing tonight from Sheffield: Kell Brook v Michael Zerafa; Jono Carroll v Guillaume Frenois; Josh Kelly v David Avanesyan; Kid Galahad v Brayan Mairena live on Sky Sports from 7pm.
Later from New York: Vasiliy Lomachenko v Jose Pedraza and undercard live on BT Sport from 1.30am.
Looking forward to seeing Loma in action again, this will be easy work for him though, he just has too much for an opponent of that calibre, that's not saying that Pedraza isn't good, it's just that Loma is amazing.
Brook is taking an easy option tonight, I don't really like the bloke, there's something not quite right about him and his entourage and tbh, and I don't like saying this, I think that Ingle gym is a little suspect these days, I don't know but I get the impression that they do a few things there that they shouldn't be doing, and I'm not alone in thinking that.
