LOS ANGELES - Challenger Tyson Fury dominated long stretches of Saturday's WBC heavyweight title bout against Deontay Wilder, thanks to a sneaky jab and shifty defense. But in the 12th and final round, Fury ended up flat on the canvas, his eyes rolling backward while Wilder celebrated above him.

The 6-foot-9 Englishman somehow gathered his wits, rose and made it to the final bell. That's when both hulking men heard a verdict that didn't satisfy them, but all but guaranteed a rematch.

Wilder, from Alabama, retained his title when the bout was declared a split draw. One judge favored Wilder 115-111, one had Fury winning 114-112 and the third called it a 113-113 draw.
