Tyson Fury declared himself the “greatest heavyweight of my era” after retaining his WBC title with a knockout win over Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Britain’s Fury weathered the early storm and knocked Wilder down in the third round with a short uppercut but the American responded in the fourth, knocking Fury down twice with shots to the head.

But Fury absorbed the punishment and outboxed his American rival, landing the decisive blow in the 11th round to remain the undefeated lineal champion.

“I’m the greatest heavyweight of my era, without a doubt,” Fury told reporters.
