Tyson Fury's trilogy bout victory against Deontay Wilder reportedly fell short of the pay-per-view figures of their rematch last year.
The Gypsy King defended his WBC title in Las Vegas last weekend, beating the Bronze Bomber via an 11th-round stoppage at the T-Mobile Arena.
But that was the end of a thrilling fight that saw Fury knocked to the canvas twice too in the fourth round, in between Wilder's falls in the third and 10th rounds.

However, unlike the fight itself, Yahoo Sports via The Mirror are reporting the pay-per-view sales have disappointed after failing to reach the pre-bout target of 600,000 sales.

But the fight still earned double the sales of the duo's first heavyweight showdown in December 2018, with Eddie Hearn labelling the 300,000 pay-per-views as 'absymal' after it was broadcast on Showtime Sports in the US
