TYSON FURY has backed Dillian Whyte’s claims that WBC champ Deontay Wilder was sparked out cold during a sparring session with Wladimir Klitschko.
Whyte has got under the skin of his heavyweight rival by claiming the American was left “twitching” on the floor during a training session years ago.

While the Ukrainian was heavyweight champ, Whyte attended one of his infamous training camps when he shared his version of the story.
He told Sky Sports: “He knew what happened. He had his hands up. He was roughing Wlad up, bringing the smoke, and he was going wild.
“Wlad backs up, changes his footwork, feinting, feinting, jabs to the body, throws that feint jab, left hook. Wilder had his hands up, he was gone.
“It wasn’t no knockdown, he was knocked cold. Properly twitching as well.”
His story was backed up by the Gypsy King who steps into the ring for his highly-anticipated rematch against Wilder on February 22.
In a further bid to wind-up his opponent, Fury added: “I know it to be true. I don’t know of Dillian Whyte to tell lies for no reason.
I know it to be true… I’ve heard it from other people apart from Dillian Whyte
Fury on Whyte’s claims Wilder was KO’d
“Dillian was probably there… he was there, actually. And I’ve heard it from other people apart from Dillian Whyte. People who are close to Klitschko and had nothing to do with it.”
Wilder has predictably refuted any rumours that he was put to the floor and insisted that he “held his own.”
Back in 2017, he hit back: “He said that me and Klitschko sparred on various occasions, and in fact that Klitschko knocked me out cold and dropped me with a body shot?
“Keep in mind that Klitschko hasn’t thrown a body shot in eleven damn years.
“All of a sudden it had to be me. Why me? I had to be dropped in sparring.
“I was only in the Klitschko camp one time and I held my own very well with everybody.
“All of a sudden this mysterious untold story of me and Klitschko and he knocked me out. C’mon man. Please, people with b**** tendencies.”
Fury and Wilder’s war of words ahead of their Las Vegas bout has shown no signs of slowing down… although it has taken a weird twist.
Fury recently revealed: “I’m masturbating seven times a day to keep my testosterone pumping.”
It led to Wilder’s word of advice: “I mean, enjoy yourself. Just use the proper lotion!
“Whatever he says is for entertainment or whatever.
“He wanna j*** off? Enjoy himself! Just use the proper lotion. I mean some like thick lotion.”
