Fury fumed over Wilder for his accusations. Moreover, he yelled at Wilder for firing his trainer, Mark Breland, who threw a towel inside the ring to stop the fight.
John Fury continued, “He got beat fair and square in his country. He got rag-dolled and battered to a pulp. And he’s used every excuse to tarnish Tyson‘s victory. You can’t do it, Deontay. You’re a piece of crap of a man.”

Has Deontay Wilder poured cold water on his trilogy possibilities with Tyson Fury?
Ever since that brutal loss, Wilder has vouched for a rematch several times. However, citing his remarks, Tyson Fury has already denied a trilogy with him. That’s because the Brit feels Wilder has shown huge disrespect towards him and his community by terming him as a cheater.

Though the ‘Bronze Bomber’ has a powerful urge to confront his rival Fury, his selection of words against him might have just snatched his trilogy.
Tyson Fury is a man of his words, and he abides by his statements. That said, he might never offer Wilder a third fight as he’s taken those insults to his heart.
However, things can still get back to the primal state if the ‘Bronze Bomber’ apologizes to Fury and his team.
What do you make of John Fury’s comments? Did Wilder take it too far with his verbal jabs on Fury?
