Neither Tyson Fury nor Deontay Wilder came out on top of Saturday's entertaining heavyweight fight, but the former at least got some added respect by the time it was over. In round 12, Fury was knocked down by a two-punch combo that sent his head to hit the canvas. Somehow, Fury wasn't unconscious—he got back up to finish the fight.
The clip of Fury surviving Wilder's punches quickly became a sensation after the match ended in a split-decision draw.
Fans even went as far as comparing Fury's recovery to The Undertaker's signature sit-up.
