Deontay Wilder's coach has backed the heavyweight's claim his outfit was "too heavy" two years on from his rematch defeat by Tyson Fury.
Wilder and Fury shared one of the most epic heavyweight rivalries which saw the pair fight three times in as many years. In their 2020 sequel, the Briton won with a dominant KO display to snatch the title from Wilder following their previous draw.
The 'Bronze Bomber' made several excuses for his defeat, including the suggestion his outfit was to blame for the KO and Fury did not actually hurt him. He said after the fight: “He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight.”
