Covid-19 was about to grip the world, but before that happened, Tyson Fury was about to sit on top of the heavyweight division again.
After departing the sport for multiple reasons after his incredible 2015 victory over Wladimir Klitschko, followers of the sport were uncertain whether they would see Fury back in action ever again.
His 2018 saw him enjoy two routine wins. But at the end of that year, Fury would travel to America to try and win the WBC belt against Deontay Wilder, in what would turn out to be the start of a wonderful trilogy.
The result was secondary though as the fight was best remembered for Fury’s miraculous recovery in the final session when he rose from the ground, similar to WWE’s The Undertaker, just before the count could be completed.
The boxing world wanted an immediate rematch, but the entertaining pair would add to their impressive ledgers in 2019 before taking part in the last major fight before lockdown occurred.
Wilder once again entered the contest a significant favourite, but it was clear from the opening round that this night would belong to Fury.
After dropping Wilder heavily in the third and fifth sessions, Fury was on his way to an incredible stoppage, but he could not find the one shot that would end matters for Wilder.
In round seven, after unleashing an incredible barrage of punches, Fury was declared the winner when Mark Breland, the former world champion and Wilder’s trainer, threw in the towel.
Fury was once again world heavyweight champion, and his incredible story had another amazing chapter.
Since their feud, Fury has gone on to defeat the likes of Dillian Whyte and Francis Ngannou before losing to Oleksandr Usyk, but it is the incredible three fight series with Wilder that he will probably be best remembered for.
