Deontay Wilder believes Tyson Fury is genuine about his retirement claims, cryptically insinuating that he has been forced into it.
The former heavyweight champion shared a heated three-year-long rivalry with the Fury as the pair battled back-and-forth for the WBC title from 2018 to 2021. And despite seemingly patching things up after their trilogy bout, in which he was viciously knocked out, Wilder still isn't fully keen on having a friendship with the man with whom he has shared 30 hard rounds.
And in a recent interview, Wilder intimated that he feels there will be many changes abound in the heavyweight division due to Fury having his hand forced into retirement. The Brit is just 34-years-old, but having won every belt in the division and never lost, he has indicated that now is the time for him to quit the sport and focus on his family with wife Paris and their six children.
