Tyson Fury escaped Las Vegas with a win on Saturday but was sent to the hospital because of a bloody cut that completely stained the referee 's shirt.

While the British heavyweight is waiting for his lucrative rematch against Deontay Wilder, tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2020, he remains active.

He beat Tom Schwarz with ease by eliminating the German in two rounds earlier this summer, but was forced to fight for his victory against Swedish left-winger Otto Wallin this weekend.

It was because Wallin opened a third-round cup that was so bad that he left Fury's face in a mess, and referee Tony Weeks needed a change of shirt.

Yahoo Sports Fight Reporter Kevin Iole tweeted Fury was absent from the post-fight press conference while he was being taken to the hospital. C & # 39; was confirmed by BT Sport, who relayed the event in the UK.

Fury did enough to win a unanimous decision with ringside scores of 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112.

He then reiterated his desire to fight against Wilder, the American he outclassed but was knocked down twice, in a controversial draw in 2018.

On the ESPN show, Fury said: "Deontay Wilder … I want you next time, bum!"

He added, "This is my fifth fight, and puts me in great position for the big boy, the Bronze Bomber, the big file, it will be February 22. Let it heal, have fun and take time to relax with my family.
