TYSON FURY’S cutman has labelled the rumours claiming his gloves were tampered with as a “big myth”.
The Gypsy King, 31, put on the best display of his career as he dethroned Deontay Wilder, 34, to snatch the WBC belt.
Fans have claimed the Gypsy King’s gloves were fiddled with before the fight
But his historic victory has been overshadowed by conspiracy theories that have been doing the rounds online.
It has been bizarrely claimed by fans that Fury’s gloves were fiddled with – which allowed him to punch the American where there was no cushioning.
Fury’s cutman Jacob ‘Stitch’ Duran has insisted that there is no truth behind the rumours.
Speaking to Boxing Social, he said: “I’ll give you the facts, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is one of the best commission in the world.
“They handle the gloves until it’s time to put them on.
“There was no tampering whatsoever.
“I was there. It’s just a big myth. It didn’t happen.
“That’s why you have the inspectors there to make sure everything is followed within the guidelines.

“None of that happened, but it’s good for discussion.
“It’s going to fade away. It’s not even true, it’s not even close to being true.”
Fury and Wilder are set to go head-to-head for the third time after the Bronze Bomber officially triggered his rematch clause.
