Deontay Wilder is refusing to put aside his rivalry with Tyson Fury and still believes the Brit cheated by tampering his gloves in their rematch.
Fury won Wilder's heavyweight title in their rematch two years ago by knocking him out after they fought to a controversial draw in 2018. After the fight, Wilder accused Fury of loading his gloves with "egg weights" and labelled him as "one of the biggest cheats in boxing". Their rivalry seemed dead and buried when Fury knocked out the American in their trilogy fight last October, but Wilder is not letting bygones be bygones.
“It’s just like you got analysts that say ‘If he did have something in his glove why did you not go to the authorities?’” Wilder told Fight Hype. “I wish I was in front of them [the analysts] and I would grab their collar and put them close to my face so we can be eye to eye, face to face, so much that my breath touch their face, and I would tell them, ‘Why the f*** would I go to the authorities when I have an opportunity to release my own energy and put my hands up on on him in the possibility of trying to kill him and get paid millions of dollars doing it.’ Why would I go to the authorities?”
