Fury made an eye-catching Vegas debut in June with a flamboyant win over Tom Schwarz but this was none the same. A unanimous decision victory but at a huge cost, an injury that could see him sidelined for a number of months.
Wallin provided a far sterner test than expected, coming in a 33/1 outsider, the Swede didn't manage to get the result but walks away with a number of new fans. Recap on the fight below.

The impressive duo of Andre Ward and Tim Bradley are in the studio for ESPN+ tonight.
Andre Ward: "Tyson Fury is slowly moving towards that Klitschko-esque fighter - and that is a dangerous, dangerous fighter."
Carlos Cuadras beats Jose Maria Cardenas by majority decision tonight.
Our man Declan Taylor is at the T-Mobile Arena tonight, and expects the main event ring walks around 5am UK time.
Could Tyson suffer a shock defeat tonight?
This is what his father John Fury has had to say: “It all depends on if Otto Wallin lets Tyson camp in his head, because Tyson is a world champion at that.
“You cannot leap from European to world class, it is the Grand National tonight but Tyson has a Ferrari of a gearbox and there is nothing this man can do to Tyson.”
Tim Bradley on Tyson Fury: "I've never seen a guy that big, that fluid, that movement and have that elusiveness about him. It's unreal."
So, the Gypsy King - or this week, El Rey de los Gitanos, takes quite the weight advantage into the ring tonight.
Tyson Fury 254.4lbs
Otto Wallin 236lbs
