Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder recently fought their third fight, which was billed as ‘Once and For All’. Tyson Fury emerged victorious via 11th round KO and has closed the chapter on their rivalry.

Deontay Wilder is an American boxer and had a lot of support from the USA. However, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid supported Tyson Fury in this fight and took a dig at ‘The Bronze Bomber.

The first contest from their trilogy ended in a controversial draw back in 2018. They fought again in a rematch last year where Fury emerged victorious via 7th round KO.

Wilder wanted a rematch, and it was earlier scheduled to happen in July this year, but was postponed due to the pandemic. However, now they’ve finally sealed off the trilogy and Wilder just couldn’t prove his supremacy. He had his moments, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.

After the bell, several NBA stars reacted to the fight through their social media. Many stars heaped praise on ‘The Gypsy King‘ after winning. Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was no different. He praised Tyson Fury after the win through Twitter. But in the latest tweet, he targeted Deontay Wilder and joked about drug testing him.
