- In Round 2, Zeller was noticeably bleeding from the nose.
- Action was paused at :47 of Round 3 as Zeller went down from what referee Howard John Foster determined to be a low blow. Fury was issued a warning and Zeller was given time to recover.
- At 2:50 of Round 3, the referee stepped in and waved an end to the bout as Zeller was backed into a corner and absorbing punches with no effective, offensive response.
