Fans convinced Deontay Wilder waited for Tyson Fury to retire before returning

Fans have speculated that Deontay Wilder waited for Tyson Fury, who handed him his two career losses, to retire before announcing his boxing comeback.

The former world heavyweight champion had a flawless 40-0 record and reigned for years atop the division before crossing paths with Fury. The Brit provided the three blemishes on his otherwise impeccable card with first a draw and then two stoppage defeats.
