‘Fury Terrorized Him’ – Alen Babic Lays Into ‘Preacher’ Deontay Wilder

Published 02/15/2021, 10:00 AM EST

Tyson Fury dominated a treacherous Deontay Wilder and handed him a humiliating TKO loss for the WBC heavyweight title in their rematch in February 2020. Following the maiden defeat of his pro career, Wilder has been on the wrong side of criticism.

Now, even a year later, he is still in the same position as the boxing world continues to hit out at him. Croatian heavyweight, Alen Babic, was the latest name to ridicule ‘The Bronze Bomber’. Furthermore, he stated that Tyson Fury had terrorized Deontay Wilder in their in-ring collision.

In a conversation with Pro Boxing Fans, ‘The Savage’ said, “Fury beat him, Fury terrorized him with his beating, right? Just put your head down and say I got beat by a better man and then I am gonna return or I’m not. So, that’s that simple. You don’t need to say he (Tyson Fury) did this, he did that. F*** crazy.”

Babic advised Wilder to return and stop making excuses or diverting the issues from boxing. He appeared vexed with the American knockout specialist and thoroughly criticized him in the interview.

Babic added, “Wilder didn’t talk boxing for like one year and I watch boxing, I follow boxers, I don’t want to follow preachers. Go preach to your church.”
