Deontay Wilder has finally paid tribute to Tyson Fury in his first public statement since losing their WBC heavyweight title showdown in Las Vegas.
Fury came through a bruising third contest between the pair at the T-Mobile Arena, eventually delivering an 11th-round knockout of the American to end a bout which saw each man sent to the canvas.
Following the defeat, Wilder had initially refused to acknowledge his rival's triumph, saying he had no respect for the British heavyweight, with plenty of bad blood between the rival camps over their trilogy.
