Deontay Wilder has admitted he "can't stand" Tyson Fury whilst hitting out at his former opponent in a fresh rant.
Fury and Wilder fought to a majority draw in their first meeting but 'The Gypsy King' put a decisive end to their rivalry by knocking out Wilder in their rematch and trilogy fights. The heavyweights were unexpectedly reunited again when they bumped into each other at the Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury fight in Saudi Arabia in February, showing respect for each other in a brief exchange.
Wilder said that he didn't make a scene when crossing paths with Fury at the event out of respect for Saudi Arabia. The American also stood by claims that Fury cheated in their rematch by tampering with his gloves prior to the bout, a baseless accusation that the Brit has repeatedly denied.
"I know a lot of people seen me with Fury," he told ESNews. "There's a place and a time for all things. Of course... I can't stand that motherf*****, they know what's up. He's a cheater, I know a lot of things. A lot of top people know a lot of things, so they can't be fooled bro. This is a peaceful ground. It's like 'I don't like you, but I can come and let you know I see you see. We can co-exist with each other, you stay over there and I'll stay over here, that's it.'"
"[It would be] Totally different him if I saw him out or something like that, I'm going to go off how my energy feels and that can be very unpredictable because I'm an unpredictable person. Fury didn't know what I was going to do. I can feel him, I can feel it, I'm an impact but I came in peace. [There is a] Time and place for everything."

Fury and Wilder seemed open to a fourth meeting when questioned by Mirror Fighting whilst appearing at Paul and Fury's fight in Riyadh. However, Fury's dad, John, has dismissed the idea of a 'quadrilogy' fight by expressing his concern that Wilder could be "killed" by his son if they fought again.
"I'm worried about him fighting Wilder because I'm afraid of him killing Wilder," he said of his son. "Wilder's got a cracked skull, his skull is cracked like an egg. That kind of thing can't be repaired, so if Tyson hits him again, he could kill him. I've said, 'unless you want a funeral on your hands and the death of Deontay Wilder, keep [away] from him'."
