WBC say Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury rematch is likely to be pushed back some time

Tyson Fury may have remained undefeated but he suffered two severe cuts, winning the Mayan Belt II of the World Boxing Council in the process, defeating the durable basher, Swede Otto Wallin by UD, at the T-Mobile Arena of  The Vegas, Nevada on September 14.

Flaymboyant, gaudy and Independent-minded Fury entered the ring clad in Mexican kit on the country's Independence Day weekend with a folk dance group and a Mexican singer, belting it out, to celebrate the Mexican National Hols.

Wallin was a more than worthy opponent who came determined to give Fury a run for his money, despite being widely dismissed pre-fight, and earned a deserved slice of the action. His stock would have risen dramatically after his edgy and determined performance. In the third round, the cagey, Scandinavian southpaw caused a right eye injury, landing a shreddingly powerful left hand which opened Fury’s eyebrow and eyelid, which ran profusely with blood.

Fury fought Cyclops style from that point onwards, masked in blood, punctuated by the ring doctor's close examination twice of the gaping gashes. He used his extended reach and boxing savvy to keep Wallin at arm's reach round after round.

Fury had his best moments in the 10th round, but Wallin again shook Fury in the final round. The final scores were 116-112, 117-111 and 118-110.

A plastic surgeon has now micro patched up the cuts, a reported 47 stitches used in total, and a rematch against WBC Champion Deontay Wilder, previously all set for February 22, looks likely to be pushed back some time.
