Former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder has doubled down on claims that Tyson Fury CHEATED against him.
After Wilder and Fury stunned the boxing world with their electrifying majority draw in the first fight, Fury knocked the American off of his throne in the rematch.
In wake of the contest, there were allegations made that Fury had tampered with his gloves in order to gain an advantage. Those allegations were, of course, baseless.
With Wilder once again being comprehensively beaten by Fury the third time the pair took to the ring, you’d have thought that he’d drop all of the cheating nonsense.
However, in a new interview, Wilder has once again reaffirmed his belief that Fury gave himself an unfair advantage when the pair went toe-to-toe in the ring.
The boxing world is excited by the return of Deontay Wilder and hugely intrigued to see who he fights next. These comments will do him no favours on that front.
Even having been beaten by Fury, the general consensus is that Wilder is within the top four heavyweights on the planet. He ought to embrace that.
Hardly anyone in today’s heavyweight division is worthy of being called a great boxer let alone an all time great boxer , I don’t think there’s anyone you could put in the top ten heavyweights and to be honest they might struggle to get into the top twenty, the last truly great heavyweight was Lennox Lewis .
Not every fighter needs to be an all time great. Just enjoy the current fighters for what they are today and history will rate them in due time.
Have to agree the heavyweight division is a complete farce now and an embarrassment to all the previous truly great champions ,fury is nowhere near being a great champion ,just look at his fight list ,hardly any good boxers on it ,you look at Frazier,,Ali,foreman,bowe ,Chuvalo,spinks,to name a few all great fighters all the same era ,fury wouldn’t have lived with any of them ,he’s so lucky no good boxers apart from gusto at this weight
I heard Fury tied 3oz fishing weight to Wilder’s walkout mask. That extra weight was what caused Wilder’s neck to be so sore that he didn’t have a chance to win that fight. That is cheating.
