The world witnessed the mighty heavyweight clashes between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. However, the second outing between the two didn’t quite go in the American’s favor and he got brutalized by the ‘Gypsy King‘. Since then he has called out Fury several times for a trilogy and even accused Fury of cheating to win the second fight.

Recently, Bob Arum was in a conversation with Barbershop Conversations where he addressed a journalist who wanted to talk about Fury’s supposed cheating in the Wilder fight.

Arum interrupted him and said, “No No No! Everything else you said is okay, when you say he cheated in 2 (Wilder vs Fury 2) and you talk about this, that is as crazy a controversy …and you gotta stop that sh*t!”

Arum defended his prime fighter and rubbed off any claims pertaining to him cheating in this fight.

The whole incident began when Wilder asserted that Fury had an extra cushion in his gloves in their rematch. He felt this was the only reason the ‘Gypsy King’ could knock him out. As soon as Wilder’s accusations reached Fury, he decided never to step inside the ring with ‘Bronze Bomber’ again.

Instead, he is focused on Anthony Joshua and a couple of bouts to decide the best heavyweight boxer today.

Will Tyson Fury forgive Deontay Wilder?
