SETTLE THE SCORE
Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury scorecards added up wrong by judges in controversial fight draw
Canadian Robert Tapper's score was added up to 114-110 in favour of Gypsy King but in fact should have read 114-112
TYSON FURY'S controversial draw with Deontay Wilder was scored WRONG.
Bungling judges added up their tallies incorrectly - though the correct score still has the fight as a draw.

Mexican Alejandro Rochin ruled 115-111 in favour of Wilder, Canadian Robert Tapper scored it 114-110 to Fury and Englishman Phil Edwards had it at 113-113.
But Tapper's sheet proved he actually had the score at 114-112 to Fury.
The gaffe would not have changed the result in any way, but it was another embarrassing moment on a night of controversy at the Staples Center in LA, US.
The three judges have already come under fire for not having Fury, 30, as winner.
The boxing world branded the decision a "robbery", stopping the Gypsy King completing one of the biggest comebacks in sport.
