The verbal banter between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder isn’t over yet. Although they will collide in a few weeks for the WBC world heavyweight title, both men continue to intensify their battle with humiliating slurs.
The latest jab has come from Tyson Fury’s side as he claimed himself to be levels above his nearing opposition. Well, that’s nothing new to the boxing fans, as Fury has expressed the same several times, especially after dethroning Wilder via KO in 2020.

However, this time Tyson Fury has claimed that he can vanquish Deontay Wilder, even without a proper fighting physique. In a chat with Volume Sports, ‘The Gypsy King’ shared his views on Wilder as his potential rival and slammed ‘The Bronze Bomber’ once again.
“I didn’t take any extra time to prepare. Why do I need to prepare for a bum like Deontay Wilder anyway? I could fight him on three days’ notice at f***ing 400lbs and still knock the p***y out. Excuse maker, piece of s***, that’s what Wilder is,” said Tyson Fury.
