Deontay Wilder repeats Tyson Fury cheating accusations ahead of Oleksandr Usyk fight

Deontay Wilder remains convinced Tyson Fury cheated during their heavyweight trilogy fight.

Wilder has consistently made a number of baseless claims that Fury cheated in their second fight for the world heavyweight title, when he stopped the American in the seventh round. He appears to believe that Fury tampered with his gloves prior to the bout, having also claimed that his water was spiked, his coach threw in the towel early and that his walkout outfit was too heavy.

And despite seeming to have made peace with his loss to Fury after the Brit viciously knocked him out in their 2021 trilogy bout, Wilder reiterated his cheating claim against his old rival again. During an interview with ESNews, the former champion appeared to suggest Fury could do so ahead of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
