Tyson Fury vs Wallin fight result LIVE: Gypsy King wins by unanimous decision after suffering two cuts early on and then calls out Deontay Wilder
Follow live updates as Fury looks to make another statement in Las Vegas
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.

One thing about Fury's last two fights, which have been highly criticised.
Both Schwarz and now Wallin are 6 ft 5 tall, so he is making sure he continues to fight tall men in the division, with Wilder a giant at 6 ft 7.
Fury, of course, is 6 ft 9.
If Wallin wins tonight, he will be considered the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.
33/1 outsider for a reason, I guess.
And now comes Fury, wearing a sombrero on his head, surrounded by his team.
As is synonymous with Fury fights now, 'Freed from Desire' is playing as he walks from his changing room.
Fury is stood on a platform being driven in, with a mariachi band just in front. Just as epic as you might have imagined.
