JAKARTA - The true heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is still being discussed. Now news emerged, Fury needed surgery for six hours after the fight.
Yes, Fury won the fight that was held at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, last October even though The Gypsy King had kissed the canvas twice in the fourth round.
However, he got up and knocked Wilder out in the third and 10th rounds. And made his opponent move in the 11th round.
His father, John Fury, said The Gypsy King suffered injuries to his arm and hand in the fight and required six hours of surgery on his elbow.

"Tyson was seriously injured leading up to that fight," John Fury told BT Sport.
"He was injured from the start. It's not a boxing match. My son boxer No. 1, a legend and will be talked about for hundreds of years. He is very good and has a burning desire to never get beaten."
Fury defeats Wilder with one round remaining. By that time the injury was gone but Fury's camp was worried after the fight ended.
"He had to have (cortisone) injections in both elbows. He had surgery, six hours, all day in hospital," his father explained further.
"He said to me afterwards, 'I can't box, I can't jab. If I missed the jab, it would put me in limp mode and I wouldn't be able to fight."
It is yet to be seen if Fury will return to the ring after his most historic win over Wilder. However, this operation will certainly delay his return to the ring if he does not retire.
