Deontay Wilder has been rushed to hospital as a precautionary measure after his defeat to Tyson Fury.

Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in the seventh round with the American being dominated by the Gypsy King.

He took plenty of punishment and was bleeding from his left ear and mouth before the fight was stopped and he lost his WBC heavyweight belt.

After the fight, he criticised his corner for throwing in the towel and not letting him “go out on his shield” as he was interviewed after being checked over by medics.

More details soon
