‘The Gypsy King’ faces Deontay Wilder in a rematch that perplexed many at first. This is because Fury decimated ‘The Bronze Bomber’ for the entirety of the 7 rounds before the challenger’s corner threw in the towel.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ claimed injury and a heavy entrance costume for disrupting his rhythm. He has refused to accept ‘The Gypsy King’ as champion. Fans cannot dismiss him as he remains the only fighter to deny the WBC champion a win. This was when he held ‘The Gypsy King’ to a draw in 2018.
Meanwhile, ‘AJ’ will look to add to his 21-KO tally when he defends his belt against Kubrat Pulev. His comments of ‘The Gypsy King’ being just another fighter mean he is beginning to take every opponent seriously to avoid a repeat of his loss against Andy Ruiz Jr.
