Speaking to Behind The Gloves, he said, “It’s absolutely true. I did have something in my gloves- two destroyers, these are what you call skull crushers, ask Deontay Wilder, he can testify to that,”

The rematch between Wilder and Fury was discussed ever since their first contest ended in a tragic draw.

Fans were desperate to see the duo take up ring space and settle on a true winner. That said, the pair collided with each other, wherein ‘The Gypsy King’ came out right on top.

He showcased sheer brilliance and didn’t let Wilder win a single second of the fight. Moreover, Fury only kept moving forward with his shots and was the abrupt oppressor in this clash. He stuck to his game-plan throughout the fight and floored ‘The Bronze Bomber’ multiple times in this contest.

As a result, Fury’s skillsets were too much to handle for Wilder and consequently, he ended on the losing vertical.
