Post the fight, Fury went to meet Wilder to rub off the rivalry. But at that moment, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ refused to conclude the beef. Subsequently, Fury spoke to Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel and said, “He’s got bad hatred towards me. I don’t know why. But let me tell you, he lost like a man tonight. He put me down three times, I put him down four (times). Great heavyweight fight.”

Although Wilder didn’t shake hands or hug Fury while he was inside the ring, he certainly did something unexpected a day ago. On Instagram, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ commented on the fight and congratulated Fury on his win.
