The current heavyweight division is regarded as one of the best of all time because of the highly intimidating fighters present in it. In that exuberant list, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are the biggest names for obvious reasons. Last weekend, the pair met each other inside the ring for the third time. While fans expected a good fight, what they got exceeded expectations as Wilder and Fury waged a war against each other.
‘The Gypsy King’, however, was the better boxer on fight night. Hence, he claimed a gratifying win to cement his spot right at the top.
Post the fight, Fury went to meet Wilder to rub off the rivalry. But at that moment, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ refused to conclude the beef. Subsequently, Fury spoke to Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel and said, “He’s got bad hatred towards me. I don’t know why. But let me tell you, he lost like a man tonight. He put me down three times, I put him down four (times). Great heavyweight fight.”
