Boxing fans have encountered several justifications from former WBC champion Deontay Wilder ever since his loss to Tyson Fury in February. The saga hasn’t ended, as Wilder has continued to deliver different reasons for his defeat. After blaming his trainer Mark Breland for being a double agent, Wilder said that “they” spiked his water before the fight.
Meanwhile, the whole boxing community is done with this. Several people have lashed at Wilder for his recent statements. Unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez has called ‘The Bronze Bomber’ a “bi***” in one of his tweets, and now Frank Warren has also ruled out Wilder’s claims.

Warren believes that ‘The Bronze Bomber’s claims are baseless as he has pointed out several valid factors. No wonder the Queensberry promoter isn’t buying any of those statements.
Frank Warren has some words to offer for Deontay Wilder
In an interaction with Daily Star (As per Boxing Scene), Warren said that Deontay Wilder’s post-fight medical test showed that he was clean. Thus, there’s no way anyone spiked his water.
Talking about it, Warren said, “Deontay Wilder says his water was tampered with for his fight with Tyson Fury. I think maybe someone has spiked his drink more recently. If this is what he now believes. Wilder must be on something after the load of excuses he came up with earlier this week,”

He added, “Gloves, disloyal trainer, and something in his water?. If there was something in the water then why didn’t it come up in his post-fight anti-doping test? I actually think the American is a nice guy and a really good fighter so it sad to see him come out with all of this.”
That said Warren wants to move on from Wilder and has already found an opponent for Tyson Fury. He said, “For now, we are moving on with Fury and we are hoping to have his clash with Agit Kabayel signed off soon for December 5.”
Meanwhile, Wilder needs to return to action soon, or else he will lose the remaining relevancy he has in the stellar heavyweight roster.
