“They Need To Give Him a Pay Rise”- Tyson Fury Supports Deontay Wilder’s Corner-man

‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury feels Deontay Wilder should be thankful to his corner for throwing in the towel during the rematch. Fury outclassed Deontay Wilder during the rematch, with the fight ending in round 7.

Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in round 7, with trainer Mark Breland heavily criticized for doing so. However, Fury believes Wilder took too much damage in the fight and it could have potentially ended his career.

“I believe they left him in too long anyway”- Tyson Fury

“I think something severely bad would have happened to him if they left him in. He couldn’t protect himself, he didn’t win a round, and he was getting badly injured. There was a really bad swelling at the top of his head.

“Wilder’s co-trainer Mark Breland, I think they need to give him a pay raise because, without Mark Breland, there wouldn’t have been a third fight. He would have been retired from boxing.

“It’s up to the corner to stop fights. That’s what you pay them for basically to look out for your interest. I believe they left him in too long anyway,” said Fury to Behind The Gloves.

After the rematch, Fury immediately triggered the trilogy clause. The heavyweight titans were set to fight this summer. However, due to the pandemic, the fight has been pushed back, with a new date not decided as of now.

Wilder said he doesn’t consider Fury as the champion, a comment which was not received well by The Gypsy King.

“I don’t know what crack he’s smoking, but does he think he was a champion before I beat him? … If I’m not a world champion, then what does that make him?

“I think he was a champion for five years and made eleven defenses, and I smashed him to pieces. And I took his belt off of him, so maybe he feels a little bit rubbed. I don’t know where he’s coming from,” said Fury.

Fury is heading towards the trilogy bout against Wilder. Also, he has agreed to a contract in principle to face Anthony Joshua.
