Tyson Fury v Otto Wallin weigh-in

Tyson Fury beat Otto Wallin at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada despite suffering two cuts to his eye as he looks to set up a rematch of his WBC heavyweight title fight against Deontay Wilder.

Fury made an eye-catching Vegas debut in June with a flamboyant win over Tom Schwarz but this was none the same. A unanimous decision victory but at a huge cost, an injury that could see him sidelined for a number of months.

Wallin provided a far sterner test than expected, coming in a 33/1 outsider, the Swede didn't manage to get the result but walks away with a number of new fans. Recap on the fight below.

Could Tyson suffer a shock defeat tonight?

This is what his father John Fury has had to say: “It all depends on if Otto Wallin lets Tyson camp in his head, because Tyson is a world champion at that.

“You cannot leap from European to world class, it is the Grand National tonight but Tyson has a Ferrari of a gearbox and there is nothing this man can do to Tyson.”
