Video Reveals Deontay Wilder’s Concerning Self Talk

Deontay Wilder will face Tyson Fury on October 9. The two heavyweights will battle it out at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in their trilogy fight. In this contest, they will look to stake their claim as the greatest heavyweight of this generation. Given what’s up for grabs, they are taking jibes at each other even in their pre-fight training sessions.

Deontay ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder’s promoters, PBC, uploaded a video in which Wilder said some bizarre things about his opponent. Per the former champion, “I only gotta do half of that. He ain’t good. I only gotta do half of that. He ain’t what people think. He a f***ing cheater.”

This is not the first time Wilder has called Fury a cheater. Wilder spoke out last time, saying, ‘The Gypsy King’ put a hard object inside his gloves. He also claimed that his water bottle was laced with muscle relaxants before the fight. The fans did not take any of these accusations seriously since Fury beat Wilder fair and square in the second fight. Immediately after, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ demanded a rematch.

This trilogy match has been a long time coming and was initially supposed to go down on July 24. However, as Tyson Fury tested positive for Covid-19, the organizers pushed the bout ahead by a few weeks. Now, on October 9, the heavyweights will go against each other for the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles.

Tyson Fury praises Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury is aware of the power that his American foe possesses. Fury spoke about how dangerous Wilder is, as he said, “Make no mistake about this, Deontay Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight out there. Combine them all together and they don’t make a danger like Wilder. So that’s what I’m messing with. I’m playing with an atomic bomb, messing round, clipping wires. Every time you go into the ring with Deontay Wilder you’re playing with that danger.”

Fury, who believes he will finish Wilder even faster, has said he will consider it a defeat if the fight goes beyond the fifth round. However, his above comments show that he knows he must be cautious.

Who do you think will get their hand raised on October 9? Wilder or Tyson Fury?
