WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said whoever he fights next "will get the same treatment" after he pummelled former champion Deontay Wilder into a seventh round defeat in their fight in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The Briton knocked Wilder to the canvas twice in their heavyweight title rematch to win the title when Wilder's corner threw in the towel as he was taking a beating in the seventh round.

It was a stunning turnaround for a fighter who came back from drug and alcohol abuse to win the title for a second time.

It was the first loss for Wilder in 44 fights, and it came in the 11th defence of the title he won in 2015.
