Heavyweight champ Tyson Fury has fired back at the suggestion he had blunt objects in his gloves when he stopped Deontay Wilder on Feb. 22
Tyson Fury is furious.
The heavyweight champ has fired back at the suggestion he had blunt objects in his gloves when he knocked out Deontay Wilder on Feb. 22 in Las Vegas, a notion that originated with Wilder’s brother, Marsellos Wilder.
Fury said the following on a video he posted on Twitter:
“This is just a quick video to address all this ‘foul play’ talk from Deontay Wilder and his team. I’ve just read an article saying I might have had some ‘blunt objects’ in my gloves.” He displayed his fist and continued, “Yeah, two big 19 stone destroyers in each glove.
“Getting punched in the temple may do that do you. Unless Deontay Wilder’s own trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well along with all the Las Vegas Commission guys who never left the room.
“Jay Deas was in the room while I had my hands wrapped, he examined them. He was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them, and everybody else was in the room, they don’t leave you. So everybody citing foul play – bulls—.
“And the next time I’ll put a dent in his boxing career, end it. It’ll be two knockout losses in a row, bye bye forever.”
Marsellos Wilder, also a boxer, said the following on social media:
“You know it’s crazy, when you’re great they’ve gotta do everything that’s underneath real to figure out how to stop you. And the most wicked s— about [it] is people on your own team will do anything for the hate/money to help them opps (opposition) take you down.
“It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent in the side of his head due to a blunt object struck against his head from his last fight. No glove or fist was able to cause the damage according to the autopsy (sic).
“My daddy once told me if you pull a gun out on somebody, you better kill them. Because, if you don’t, they are gonna come back and kill you. The king is about to rise again. We’re coming for blood.”
Fury and Wilder are expected to fight for a third time either late this year or early next year.
