Deontay Wilder Hints That Tyson Fury Used Covid as an Excuse
Follow Us
Deontay Wilder isn’t ready to admit that Tyson Fury had actually contracted COVID-19, which led to the postponement of their trilogy fight from July to October 9. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ believes Fury wasn’t ready for the challenge and has been running away from him for a long time. Although Wilder had fallen prey to Fury’s in-ring prowess in February 2020, he still claims himself superior to ‘The Gypsy King’.
Ahead of the trilogy fight, Deontay Wilder sat with 78 Sports TV and said, “I had some people to die of it (Covid-19) and to hear others using this as an excuse or anything else to get out of something. It’s just, it’s horrible man, you know. And may they burn in hell.”
“Because the dude [Tyson Fury] said he had Covid and the next minute, you see him in so many different places. It’s just ridiculous. You know he had been trying to run away from me since July of last year.”
