Reiss was also in the middle for KSI's professional rematch against Logan Paul back in 2019 – during which he famous deducted two points from the American's score.

More recently, Reiss took charge of Isaac Cruz vs Eduardo Ramirez in a WBC world lightweight eliminator in September, as well as Marlon Tapales vs Hiroaki Teshigawara in December.

Speaking to BT Sport of going into the championship rounds, he said: "I told both of them the exact same thing I said 'I'm going to give you every opportunity to get up and prove to me that you are able to physically and intelligently defend yourself."

Adding: "I was very pleased with my role in the fight in many different ways. You guys didn't see me, nobody spoke about me, except twice in the fight – the ninth round knockdown and the 12th round knockdown."

Concluding: "Obviously what happened in that 12th round, he got up and responded the way he did which demonstrates that the decision I made was correct. I'm really happy, I think it was the best decision I've ever made in a boxing match."

Fury said of his fall: "Yeah, I was out for a few seconds."

Saying of his desire to return to his feet: "That’s what we are taught as kids, as boxers. When you get put down, you get back up.

"I’ve got this inner ability, sort of. I dream and becomes a reality for some reason, I don’t know why. Sometimes I dream about things and it actually happens, and I prepare for that."
