Ak & Barak Show: Was Deontay Wilder’s comment about Tyson Fury out of line?

Akin “Ak” Reyes and Barak Bess discuss Deontay Wilder’s comment that he doesn’t see Tyson Fury as a champion.

Deontay Wilder recently said on The PBC Podcast that he doesn’t see Tyson Fury as a heavyweight champion.

That was a provocative thing to say given that Fury knocked out Wilder to win the title on Feb. 22 in Las Vegas. Not surprisingly, it drew criticism in some corners, including the one occupied by Fury.

Wilder added that he doesn’t consider Fury champion because of unfinished business – a projected third fight in their series – but that doesn’t seem to matter much.

How do DAZN commentators Akin “Ak” Reyes and Barak Bess feel about Wilder’s comment?

Here’s what the guys had to say on The Ak & Barak Show.
