Deontay Wilder is still facing ridicule for his loss to Tyson Fury in 2020. Although the knockout artist is ready for a third meeting and has vowed to avenge the defeat, the boxing universe continues to mock him. That said, British Sculptor Tony Clark is the latest addition to that list.
The owner of Clark Sculptures has formed a statue of Wilder and Fury from the second fight. While the first figure showcased Fury’s sensational knockdown against Wilder, another one showed the American boxer falling to the canvas.

While Hatton may look forward to having his own statue, Wilder is going through a career-defining moment of his life. After a vicious run in the heavyweight division, the hard-hitter suffered a humiliating loss to ‘The Gypsy King’. Hence, as he will be seeking redemption, such posts may only motivate him.
Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3–One last time
Fury’s lopsided win in the rematch has seen many boxing fans lose their faith in Wilder’s ability to avenge the defeat. However, the Alabama native has a few terrific tools that can see him shake the odds. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has joined hands with Malik Scott, showcasing some unique traits in his re-built personality.
Although it holds no relevancy to the in-ring battle, Wilder’s impeccable power can trouble Tyson Fury. Fans got a glimpse of the same in 2018 in Fury vs Wilder 1. Moreover, as Wilder will also remember it, he may look to concoct a strategy to allow him to get into a position to land one fight-ending strike.
As Tyson Fury is the favorite, Deontay Wilder will have to bring in the miracle. He is 1-0 down against Fury in 2 fights and it’s his last guaranteed shot at the WBC belt. The action will unfold at the T-Mobile Arena on July 24.
