Deontay Wilder Says Tyson Fury Is Formulating “A Master Plan” to Cheat in the Trilogy

As their trilogy fight on July 24 inches closer to fruition, Deontay Wilder recently shared his views on his upcoming bout against Tyson Fury. Wilder accused ‘The Gypsy King’ of cheating and was in denial of his technical knockout loss to the current WBC champion.

Wilder also believes that Tyson Fury’s team will try to “cheat” this time around as well in their heavyweight showdown.

After their second bout in February 2020, Deontay Wilder first accused Tyson Fury of tampering with the gloves. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ believed that tampering allowed him to set his fists in an “unnatural” position. He also said that Fury had placed a hidden object in his gloves to cause more damage. In addition, Wilder also accused his own trainer Mark Breland of spiking his water with muscle relaxants.

There is no official evidence to back these claims made by the former champ. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has since labeled Wilder’s accusations as “ridiculous” and “very sad”. However, Deontay Wilder has not backed down from his stance and has now doubled down on his accusations in a recent interview.

“You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time? Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan. But my thing to him—man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under. You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out,” said Wilder in the latest podcast interview. (h/t GiveMeSport)
