(LifeSiteNews) — After winning a stunning victory in a much-anticipated competition for the World Boxing Council (WBC) title Saturday, undisputed heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury gave all the glory to Jesus Christ, saying, “my Lord and Savior rose me to my feet tonight to give Him the glory.”

In what was widely hailed as an incredible fight Saturday night at the packed T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, internationally-acclaimed British boxer Tyson Fury (also known as the “Gypsy King”) held on to his WBC heavyweight title after a suspenseful bout resulting in a definitive knockout of opponent Deontay Wilder in the eleventh round.

Knocked down twice, Fury sent Wilder to the mat three times before an emphatic victory which marked Wilder’s second and final loss to Fury out of a “trilogy” of match-ups between the two heavyweight pros which began with a controversial split decision in 2018.

After the fight, Fury answered questions from interviewers who wanted to know what gave him the strength and motivation to keep going and claim victory after the tense and difficult final fight with a tough and dedicated opponent.

“Walk me through what got you up twice after you had put him down,” the interviewer prompted.

Adorned with his championship belts and wearing a trucker hat that said “Jesus El Rey Viene” (which means “Jesus the King is coming” in Spanish), Fury said, “First of all, I’d just like to say thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the mighty name of Jesus.”
