Wilder hasn’t been much active in public appearances or pressers. He hasn’t posted much on his social media too. However, ‘The Gypsy King’ has an update on him. While Fury has praised — or trolled — Wilder’s current shape, he has also advised him to bring an A+ game in their upcoming fight.

Tyson Fury never fails to amaze his fans

Turning to Twitter, Fury posted a picture of the ‘Bronze Bomber.’ It is no surprise that the former WBC champion looks shredded and fresh in the picture. However, that is not the latest picture of Wilder.

A few weeks back, Wilder’s training partner, Raphael Akpejior, also claimed that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is in great shape.

Thus, Fury might have trolled his American rival by using one of his older pictures in his latest tweet. Furthermore, Fury advised him to bring his A+ game in the fight. He wrote, “Wilder looking in good shape. Could do with a good challenge. Please bring your  A+ game this time, my G.”

Fury needs to be careful with his wishes, as Deontay Wilder is still one of the most lethal knockout artists of the modern era. Before facing Fury, he looked inevitable with an impressive pro run of 42 wins with 41 knockouts.

In the first contest against ‘The Gypsy King,’ Wilder almost had his moment after he knocked down Fury in the final round. That said, Fury turned it into his moment by getting back on his feet and bringing the fight to Wilder.

Thus, it will be wrong to rule out any of them in the trilogy fight. As per reports, they will face each other soon and the event can happen amid fan-attendance. Las Vegas is billed as a possible venue where Fury and Wilder can fight for the WBC strap.

If everything goes well, 2020 will end with another stellar heavyweight showdown.
