Deontay Wilder’s Wife Slams “Careless” Tyson Fury for Not Fully Vaccinating Himself
Follow Us
WBC champion Tyson Fury appears to be the sole reason the trilogy between him and Wilder has been postponed from its scheduled date of July 24. As the Brit’s camp tested positive for Covid-19, Deontay Wilder’s return to action is off for now. There is no new official date for this bout.
Although Fury couldn’t control the situation, he has still garnered criticism from the boxing world. Wilder’s spouse, Telli Swift, has criticized ‘The Gypsy King’ for coming with a medical setback this late. She connected with FightHype.com to address the whole situation and said-
“It’s just unfortunate and careless that he [Tyson Fury] didn’t fully vaccinate himself and I just feel like it’s a bummer. Because there’s a lot of people that spend time, energy, and money, you know, for this to happen. And you know, to promote it the way that they did. And they have to redo everything again.”
