Deontay Wilder Still Has Grudge With Tyson Fury
Speaking to Inside Boxing, Wilder amazingly still has a grudge with Tyson Fury from his fights with him years ago:
“Fury is a cheater, he’s the biggest cheater in boxing. I already know what he is, they know what they are.”
He is talking about in one of their fights there was some controversy surrounding gloves Fury had worn.
Claims that were never substantiated or proven by anyone.
Wilder is still a big fan favorite with not just many in America but those that have watched his knockouts over the years worldwide.
Next Friday on June 27th the world will be watching to see if Wilder can turn on the knockout power one more time.
