The first clash between Tyson Fury and then WBC champion Deontay Wilder went down on December 1, 2018, and is regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxing matches in the past decade.

After putting on a great performance throughout the fight, Fury was caught by a straight right and a left hook in round 12 that put him down hard on his back.

The crowd thought it was over. The commentary team thought it was over. Wilder definitely thought it was over. The ref looked at Fury on the canvas like he was dead and began giving him the count. Miraculously, Fury beat the count, rose from the grave, and finished the fight on his feet.

When the dust settled, the fight was declared a split draw, with the scorecards showing 115–111 for Wilder, 114–112 for Fury, and 113–113.
