Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are officially good pals now. After both sharing messages of camaraderie on social media after the third fight, ‘The Gypsy King’ took this newfound friendship a step further by wishing Wilder a happy 36th birthday.

Despite the final knockout, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ showed a lot of heart in the fight and proved to the world that he deserves a spot in the GOAT charts.

As Wilder turns 36 today, Tyson Fury sent out a heartfelt and heartwarming message to his old rival –

In this social media statement, he also expressed he is not happy with the outcome of the fight; however, he hopes he did enough to prove to the world that he is a ” true warrior” and a “true king” in the sport of boxing.

As of now, there is no clear indication from the 35-year-old’s team regarding his next few steps in the sport. However, his coach recently said that he does not even want Wilder to think about boxing for a few months; instead, he wants him to take some time off.

Only time will tell if the Alabama native ever decides to return to the ring and attempt a re-entry into the win column.

For now, though, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will have to stay away from boxing as he fractured his right hand in the third fight.
