Deontay Wilder has been humbled.
Wilder went into Saturday night’s heavyweight championship bout against Tyson Fury with an undefeated 42-0-1 record, with his lone draw coming against Fury in 2018.

Wilder would not be available to speak for his post-fight press conference because he had to be taken to hospital.
Wilder appeared to suffer the ear injury in the third round, when Fury landed a heavy right hand to his temple:
