The much-anticipated trilogy fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder has met with a new twist as the latter has recently turned to social media, throwing some harsh words over his opponent.

After staying low key for so many months, Deontay Wilder has finally lashed at Tyson Fury, accusing him of walking away from the trilogy contest.  He put out a long clip on social media to reveal his opinion, putting the entire blame on ‘The Gypsy King’ for failing to materialize the fight. While Fury has always been adamant about getting the dates, Wilder’s team has reportedly failed to deliver one.

Fury @gypsyking101 it is time for you to be a man and honor your agreement. What is this bullshit of you fighting Carlos Takam instead of me, you got to be kidding. When you were going through your darkest time, I told you that if you got yourself together I would give you a title shot. Being a man of my word, I gave you the title shot. When that fight was a draw, I told you that I would give you a rematch. You know I was offered more money to fight Joshua than I was getting to fight you. Again being a man of my word, I fought you like I said I would. In the rematch agreement, there was a rematch clause. Now it is time for you to be a man and honor your word, instead of trying to weasel out of our agreement. Scared people run but a scary man will break his contract you coward Azz B**čh! 🎥 @205willie #BombZquad #TilThisDay #YouThiefPayBackIsComingTrustMe

That said, Fury has opted to go ahead with some other contenders. Meanwhile, boxing promoter Bob Arum has also entered the mix by poising his opinion on Wilder’s recent stance and his social media post. As per Arum, Wilder is just trying to bring conspiracy theories to justify his absence from the heavyweight title ride.

While Wilder’s Instagram video has already created a lot of buzz in the boxing community, Arum couldn’t ignore the tale. During an interaction with IFL TV, Bob Arum said, “We haven’t heard a lot from Wilder. So, he is probably watching television, and all I can say about his Instagram post that he is mimicking Donald Trump.”

Arum also belittled Wilder for his actions after the second fight against Fury. He said, “First for him to castigate Kenny Bayless- Mr. referee and Mark Breland his chief cornerman. The way he did is disgraceful because they acted properly and they saved Wilder’s life from taking any further punishment. When he was completely out and getting thrashed by Tyson Fury.

Although Fury hasn’t responded to Wilder’s criticisms, the boxing pundits have already figured out the conclusion of the rivalry. There’s no other way until the heavyweight gladiators meet each other inside the ring, ending the rivalry for once and all.
