Tyson Fury's coach recalls watching heavyweight being dropped by Deontay Wilder

SugarHill Steward said he wasn't worried when Tyson Fury was dropped by Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight.

Fury and Wilder put on a heavyweight trilogy for the ages last October, as 'The Gypsy King' won by 11th round stoppage in a fight that had five knockdowns. Wilder put down Fury twice in the fourth round, but the Brit's head trainer Steward said the knockdowns didn't alarm him.

"For me, I wasn't so worried because I was watching it," he told BT Sport. "I watched the way he went down, he didn't just get hit and then boom, he was hit and then you could see him get his feet together, try to grab and miss, so he was aware and alert that much to try and grab hold of Deontay Wilder.
