Deontay Wilder has made some absolutely bizarre claims leading up to his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury, none more so than the idea that Fury used “loaded gloves” in their last meeting. Wilder supposedly expects Fury to come up with a “master plan” to cheat again.
Tyson Fury, predictably, takes the entire thing in good humor, telling The MMA Hour that he plans to cheat again. “You know what? I’m going to cheat again because I’m going to smash his face in.
Tyson Fury Reacts to Deontay Wilder Cheating Accusations: “I’m going to cheat again because I’m going to smash his face in”
According to him, that’s cheating because he’s not supposed to lose. Unfortunately, I’m going to cheat again. I’m going to kick his ass, sea bass.
I had horseshoes in there. You know I’m a gypsy don’t you? You ever watch ‘Peaky Blinders’? I loaded the gloves with horseshoes and dynamite. This time I’m going to do exactly the same. Put a bit more metal in there.”
Fury firmly believes that these accusations have more to do with Wilder’s mental fragility than anything he himself could have done.
“It does say a lot. We’ve boxed 19 rounds and he’s practically won two rounds out of 19.
I’m not really too bothered about it but you’ve got to respect everyone that gets in the ring with a pair of boxing gloves on or any fight, whether it’s MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing whatever — every man’s trained and coming to win.
With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff — I’ve cheated, I’ve done this, I’m a natural born cheater, his coach. I must have some power, mustn’t I?
Because I’ve even got his coach on my side. Not to mention Jay Diaz, he’s on my payroll, too. I’m like Tommy Shelby here, I’ve got them all on the payroll. He’s on the payroll too, Jay Diaz, because he was in the changing room while I was getting my gloves on the whole time.
So he must have helped me and Wilder’s in denial about that.” Fury took a moment to reference his own struggles with alcoholism and mental health issues before issuing advice to Deontay Wilder and anyone else living in denial.
“You’ve got to let go of all this stuff — animosity, whatever’s happened to you in your life. Whatever you think you can’t let go of, you can let go of it, because I’ve let go before, plenty of times. You feel so much better for letting go and moving on than you ever would holding a grudge forever.
So there’s my advice. If he’s listening or some of his team is listening. Acceptance first, acknowledgment, and then you can move on.”
Before anybody can move on, however, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will face one another a third time this Saturday night. Which way do you see the boxing match going? Let us know in the comments.
