Tyson Fury compared to WWE legend The Undertaker on Twitter after miraculous Deontay Wilder recovery

"GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY!"

Tyson Fury's thrilling draw with Deontay Wilder was many things.

Some saw it as arguably the greatest comeback in the history of sport.

Others felt Fury had been robbed of a deserved victory.

Most agreed it was among the best 12 rounds of boxing seen in a good long while.

Plenty felt Fury's recovery after a fight-ending blow from Wilder was beyond miraculous.

With the American seemingly needing a knockout to claim victory, it looked like the Gypsy King's number was up after a devastating combo from the defending champ in the final round.

But, somehow, the Irish traveller found a way to get back on his feet and carry on.

It was a recovery that drew comparison with a certain WWE wrestling legend.

Sitting bolt upright having seemingly had his lights turned out by Wilder, Fury was every bit Mark Calaway aka The Undertaker - and didn't Twitter know it.

Social media was awash with references to the Phenom.

One thing looks certain: a rematch on UK soil.

Will Fury's miraculous powers of recovery be required again, or will he deliver boxing's equivalent of a tombstone to Wilder?

More importantly: can Jim Ross come out of retirement and commentate on it?
