Fury was dropped by The Bronze Bomber in the 12th round with a stunning right-left combination which splayed the Englishman’s 6ft 9in frame on the canvas.
Seemingly unconscious, Fury laid there for six seconds while referee Jack Reiss counted to 10.
Miraculously, The Gypsy King got to his feet in time, shocking a bewildered Wilder – who had begun to celebrate – in the process.
The judges controversially scored the fight a split decision draw, despite many ringside pundits and boxing legends having Fury as their winner.
Wilder speculated whether the count began too late, however, in an Instagram post after the fight.

“Did the count start 3-4 sec too late or was the count too long is the question many are asking and debating about,” Wilder wrote.
“The ref #JackReiss is an amazing ref in which I’ve had the pleasure to work with on several occasions and he did a great job and at the end of the day #Boxing wins the #Fans are the real winner and I can’t wait for #WilderFury2.”
Footage suggests that Fury narrowly beat the count and Warren disputed Wilder’s claims, while revealing a detail about what Reiss said to both fighters in their dressing rooms beforehand.
“He didn’t have longer for the count,” Warren told iFL TV.
“Not at all, that count was what it was. You time it, the count was there.
“The referee made it very clear before the fight to both fighters in their respective dressing rooms.
“He said to them: ‘If anybody goes down… I’m gonna count, I’ll give you your count – if you’re up before 10, I’m gonna ask you to walk three paces to the left or right or back again.’
“That was in the dressing rooms to both fighters. That is what he said.
“He is a very good referee and I think he done a fantastic job keeping that fight flowing as he did.
“And he did exactly what he said he would do in the dressing room.”
As for Fury’s incredible recovery in the 12th, Warren revealed why Fury took so long to get to his feet.
“When he was down, when he was lying there, [Tyson] told me he couldn’t feel his legs, that’s why he laid there,” Warren added.
“He thought if he’d have jumped straight up, he’d have been on unsteady legs and not able to follow what the referee told him to do in the dressing room.”
