UFC President Dana White believes that Tyson Fury's epic trilogy fight with Deontay Wester was the perfect match for boxing.
Last weekend, the bitter heavyweight rivals went to battle in Las Vegas for the third time. It was one of the most memorable fights in recent history.
Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fought for their lives last weekend in a heavyweight bout
Fury, a fan favourite, ended the book on their rivalry with America with a brutal 11th round stoppage after an amazing back and forth that blew away White.
He stated that he thought the fight was "amazing." He said that he thought the heavyweight fight on Saturday was amazing.
"Let me tell you this. First, I thought, "For what, why?" When I first started it, you know what my thinking process was.
"Joshua got beat. And yeah, why... do you know why?" Because boxing needed it. That fight was vital for boxing.
"It was an amazing heavyweight fight. Both men fought hard.
Fury will weigh in at 277 lbs, and you'll know how to fight the same way he did. Take a knock on the head, then get up again and continue fighting.
It was perfect for boxing. It was a great success and congratulations to them both, everyone involved, and boxing as a whole.
Fury's second consecutive victory over Wilder puts him on track to be the undisputed heavyweight champion.
John, his elderly man, is urging him to ignore a possible Battle of Britain with Dillian Howte in order to be the sole ruler of the Division.
TalkSPORT asked him: "Would Dillian whyte make a deal with Deontay wilder?" No.
"Why would I want him to go in there with my son and get him out?"
"He just got knocked out at the end of it all by an 42-year-old [Alexander Povetkin].
Tyson is not able to get up for these types of fights. Because it isn't big enough, he wouldn't be in a position to improve his game.
"And he goes into there with a lackinglustre attitude, and you don’t see the best Tyson Fury.
"When Tyson is against the best, you only see the best."
"A great challenge like he faced and he's in a great battle. I told him to use Usyk, or not bother. "
