Tyson Fury believes he is the greatest heavyweight of his era after producing a scintillating display to beat Deontay Wilder in a boxing classic on Saturday.

The undefeated Englishman, 33, recovered from two knockdowns against the hard-hitting Wilder before knocking out the American in the 11th round to retain his WBC crown. “I know I’m the greatest heavyweight of my era, without doubt. Number one,” Fury said following an epic battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
