WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former champion Deontay Wilder have always shared a strained relationship.
Their trilogy fight is touted to take place in December. However, COVID-19 hurdles have constantly impacted the date and venue of the possible matchup.
That said, Tyson Fury and Wilder are yet to give up on their rivalry. Hence, ‘The Gypsy King’ has stunned fans once again by taking shots at ‘The Bronze Bomber’ on social media.

Tyson Fury is now promoting “You Big Dosser” facemasks
Fury recently posted a video on Instagram and promoted the use of face masks. However, he also took a cheeky dig at his upcoming rival in the process.
If you recall the build-up of Fury vs Wilder 2, there’s no way you can get over the “Your Big Doser” tale. The Briton heavyweight constantly taunted Wilder with the term and even sported it on his suit in a press conference.
Now, Fury has used the same words on his mask and has tagged Wilder in the video. He said, “I got the new Deontay Wilder face masks, ready for anybody who would want. They are available. You can buy them on Deontay Wilder’s website.”
It can be a straight promotional video for his rival’s website, but is it? Or is Fury just trying to taunt the American heavyweight before their concluding event?

Meanwhile, the heavyweight trilogy will have a lot on the line. Apart from the WBC title, it will also determine the better boxer between two of the greatest gladiators.
After a controversial draw in the first fight, Fury manhandled Wilder and conquered the WBC strap in the rematch in February. Thus, the trilogy will also bring an opportunity for Wider to avenge his only pro loss.
