Boxing superstar Tyson Fury has shared words of kindness for his former foe Deontay Wilder.
On multiple occasions in the past, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has accused ‘The Gypsy King’ of cheating in their second fight. Despite Wilder’s accusations, Fury recently shared his admiration for the American knockout artist and praised him for his grit in an interview with TNT Sports Boxing:
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have locked horns on three separate occasions inside the boxing ring. Their first fight took place in December 2018 and turned out to be a thrilling back-and-forth affair. The bout was razor close and the result was declared a draw.
The two athletes competed in a rematch in February 2020. This time, Fury got the better of ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and defeated him via knockout in the seventh round of the fight.
After this, Wilder gave multiple reasons for his loss, including his water being possibly spiked, his heavy costume, and Fury cheating in the fight.
The highly anticipated trilogy fight finally took place in October 2021 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Once again, ‘The Gypsy King’ proved himself to be the better fighter by knocking Wilder out in the 11th round.
