The WBC World Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury of Britain has retained his Title.

In their 3rd clash, Fury was furious, when he stopped his American Challenger, Deontay Wilder, via an 11th round TKO In Las Vegas on Sunday morning.

But on the same bill, Tyson Fury’s sparring partner Nigerian heavyweight boxer, Efe Ajagba, lost his first attempt at a major continental title to his Cuban opponent Frank Sanchez, with a unanimous decision in an undercard bout of the Fury vs Wilder main event tagged the ‘Battle of the Undefeated’.

With the decision, the Cuban also retained his WBC Americas continental heavyweight belt.
