A superb swinging left hook by Fury rocked Wilder in the rematch on Sunday, in the last five seconds of the sixth.Wilder’s corner threw in the towel and the referee stopped the fight in the seventh round.
Wilder had his lip bleeding heavily while blood oozed from his right ear and his feet wobbled right from round three when he first went down.
"The best man won on the night. My coach threw in the towel but I'm ready to go out on my shield."I had a lot of things go on coming into this fight but it is what it is."I just wish my corner would have let me go out on my shield, I'm a warrior. But he [Fury] did what he did and there's no excuses," Wilder said after the fight.
