Tyson Fury suspended and banned from ring

TYSON Fury has been handed a medical suspension following his sensational victory over Deontay Wilder.

The Wythenshawe warrior retained his WBC heavyweight title in an epic Las Vegas trilogy fight courtesy of a stunning 11th-round knockout.

But the former lineal heavyweight champ had to battle through adversity to register his first-ever title defence.

Fury, 33, was dropped twice in the fourth round and took several more of Wilder’s devastating right hands in the ensuing rounds.

And as a precaution, the Nevada State Athletic Commission have given him a standard 45-day suspension.

Former WBC champ Wilder, meanwhile, has been handed a six-month suspension by the NSAC.

The Bronze Bomber is now ineligible to compete until April 8, although he could return earlier than that if he receives medical clearance.

A swift return to the ring, however, is unlikely as the American broke his hand in the Sin City showdown and will undergo surgery next week. The Olympian’s co-manager Shelly Finkel revealed to SunSport: “Deontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week.
