Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder: What are they up to these days?
Tyson Fury (31-0, 21 KOs) is the WBC, Lineal, and The Ring heavyweight champion. He acquired the WBC title after beating Wilder in the rematch.
His opponent, Wilder (43-1-1, 40 KOs), on the other hand, has been rather quiet and maintained a low profile since his loss to Fury. Many excuses have come up from his side after the Fury loss.
Some of them stated that Wilder’s walkout suit tired his legs, while others accused Fury of meddling with his gloves. Wilder, however, is yet to release an official statement on this. But according to his manager, he is soon to break his silence on the loss and the upcoming trilogy bout.
