LAS VEGAS -- Tyson Fury, known as "The Gypsy King," can now be known simply as the king.

Fury dispensed with the skillful boxing he was so successful with the first time he met Deontay Wilder and followed through with his stated plan to attack him. And attack him he did -- relentlessly.

Fury scored a pair of knockdowns in a dominating victory that ended in the seventh round when Wilder's corner threw in the towel before an electric, sold-out crowd of 15,816 on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Fury retained the lineal heavyweight championship and seized Wilder's WBC belt with the win.
