The heated rivalry between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder began almost three years back. However, it is yet to see its concluding chapter. After two gruesome encounters, the scoreboard shows Fury to have a 1-0 lead over Wilder. So, the current situation has urged the fans to believe in Fury’s supremacy over ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
However, the situation was quite different back in 2018, when both men hadn’t squared off inside the ring. Deontay Wilder, still a loudmouth, didn’t hesitate in engaging in a verbal war with Tyson Fury. While both men were undefeated at that time, it intensified the rivalry even more.
