Fans react on social media after Tyson Fury's dominant win over Deontay Wilder
Tyson Fury left no doubt about his status atop the boxing world.
Fury beat Deontay Wilder with a dominant seventh-round TKO at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Saturday night to claim the WC heavyweight title, and didn’t seem to miss a step throughout the entire bout. In fact, there was even a single photo that showed how lopsided the fight was.
Naturally, fans watching at home went straight to social media after the fight was over.
Hi UFC heavyweights: No, you don't want to box Tyson Fury.

His corner did he a FAVOR straight up!! No question about it. Equilibrium was super off and he may have been concussed too!

Fury grabbed the microphone and started singing “American Pie” by Don McLean after the win, too.

Tyson Fury is singing the longest song I’ve ever heard.

If you think I didn’t sing every single word of those two verses of American Pie in my living room you are dead fooking wrong, mate

If someone beats you up, licks your blood and sings American Pie after you have to go straight to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber right

Imagine being pummeled by a mountain, getting your ear drum shattered, and then having that mountain sing a Don McLean song that you can still hear in your good ear. Yeah, that would suck.#WilderFury #WildervsFury2

American Pie is the rudest song you can choose to sing after kicking someone’s ass
— Charlotte Wilder (@TheWilderThings) February 23, 2020
Let me tell you something. If some dude singing Bye Bye Miss American Pie after he whipped your ass, don't get you back in the gym quick, nothing will. #FuryWilder2
