Fury and Wilder fought for the first time in December 2018. Fury won the boxing aspect of the contest, but the Wilder exemplified why he's got the most dangerous hands in boxing, sending Fury crashing down twice, including the 12th round where it appeared Fury was out for the count. Fury rose from the dead like WWE legend The Undertaker to make it back to his feet to slug it out with Wilder to make it to the final bell and get a controversial split draw, but many pundits felt the Brit should have gotten the nod.
After Fury and Wilder took two fights in the interim, they met for the second time in February 2020. Unlike the first bout, Fury took the fight to Wilder and battered the bully in the process. Fury dropped Wilder twice to notch a seventh-round TKO win after the American's co-trainer at the time, Mark Breland, threw in the towel.
