Deontay Wilder has told boxing fans that they "can't be surprised" after yet another high profile heavyweight title fight fell by the wayside this week between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
The hard-hitting former champion has been in the ring with Fury three times, and has been keen to step in with the unified champion Usyk later this year. But he understands that with as many moving parts as there are for an undisputed bout, fans shouldn't necessarily have been expecting the April 29 bout to happen.
Wilder and Fury's trilogy almost didn't happen until a judge enforced the American's rematch clause following his knockout loss in their second bout. And with no such guarantee on Usyk's end this week, the undisputed clash between he and Fury ended up falling apart.
