Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has told The Ring Magazine that his biggest boxing rival, Tyson Fury, is a cheat and that he has proof of this.
40-year-old Wilder accused Fury, "I can't think about the third one, but in two of them he definitely cheated."
"The Bronze Bomber" claims to be able to back up his audacious allegations, "I have got evidence of that, and in my documentary and my movie about it, it's going to be presented. I'm gonna bring the people and the artefacts and everything I know. Why you think he can't come back to America now? The man cheated.
"He's the biggest cheater in boxing history. If you look him up, you will see it, and if I am lying then please tell him to sue me for defamation of character, so I can have the proof."
It's not the first time the American has blamed the Brit for cheating. He called his 2018 draw and 2020 defeat to Fury "gifts" from biased officials, slamming referee Jack Reiss for a long count in what he believes should have been a 12th round knockout victory, and constantly questioned Fury's "loose gloves" in the rematch.
Wilder continued to explain, "And I can't wait [for] it, because being a black man with dark skin, it's hard to believe me than believe a white man. And in the first fight, the referee... that's white supremacy what he did. You know what he said? He said he did what he thought was the best for boxing. Nah, your job is to count his arse out, that's what you supposed to do. He gave him a 15-count, everybody know that.
"So it is what it is, and how I speak, I speak from the truth and from the heart, that's why a lot of people don't want me in this business."
