Fans of the American claim Fury was given a slow count.
This isn't the first time such accusations have come up. Some claim that the Brit was given a slow count after miraculously recovering from a knockdown in round 12 of their first meeting.
One online video appears to show Fury falling to the ground and getting up ten seconds later. The referee, however, only counts up to seven seconds.
Fury took some time to settle down, before he got up and sat down on the ring.
He was again caught by Wilder just seconds later and had to win the count a second consecutive time.
Wilder was able get the job done, but Wilder lost his temper and the bell rang before he could land a devastating blow.

One of his supporters tweeted, "Fury down to 11 seconds?" Ref has the count at 7. Wilder was robbed again."
A second agreement was added: "If Fury didn't get a 10-year count from the ref, it would have been a completely different story."
Another said, "I get Wilder was outboxed but can we all ignore Fury's 12 count?" Ref says five, then stops counting for three second, then says six.
