An absolutely flawless Tyson Fury has just beaten 42-0 Deontay Wilder and dethroned the now former WBC world champion  

 

Wilder was out of it ever since the end of the 2nd round, it's a miracle he stayed on his feet as long as he did before his corner threw the towel.

Finally Wilder is exposed.

Tyson Fury is back.

All hail the king.

That was the performance of a decade.

He picked Wilder apart and destroyed every piece of him.

 

I´ll never doubt the Gypsy King again.

It was a bit of a shame Wilder got hit on the ear so early on and just had no chance at all anymore after that, since it was impossible to keep some decent sense of balance - the first one and a half rounds or so were fantastic, with both of them delivering and eating monstrous shots, until Fury managed to pick apart Wilder's whole balance system.

Wild story coming out from USADA and USA Boxing about 2016 Olympian Ginny Fuchs. According to USADA Fuchs testes positive for two banned substances in February. After an investigation it was confirmed by USA Boxing and Fuchs that the steroids were injecting during sex with her boyfriend, who was using them. 
 

So. Many. Questions! I’m not a doctor, but like how does that work? Would the injection even be strong enough to even impact her performance? Is this a get around that athlete have been using for years? I mean, I’ve heard of the water bottle trick, but never this.
