TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder may be fighting in the ring this weekend, but the duo are also competing to be the best dressed fighter ahead of their trilogy bout.
Over the years, as the pair have squared up to one another at press conferences, they’ve both managed to cut stylish figures.
Fury is well known for attending press events in bespoke suits, and he has continued that trend for Furv v Wilder III.
It’s a far-cry when the Gypsy King wore a Batman costume in the build-up to his bout against Wladimir Klitschko, of course.
But, thanks to help of his tailor Claudio Lugli, Fury’s outfits have become a centre piece in the build-up to the fights.
Most recently, Fury donned a two piece that featured his own image sitting on a throne wearing a crown.
While, ahead of the second fight he wore a suit that had messages regarding mental health
Wilder, himself, has been more paired down this time round wearing sportswear. But, he’s still making sure he’s matched Fury when it comes to the jewellery stakes.
DRESS TO IMPRESS
As well eye-catching suits, Fury also has a penchant for wearing slippers with his suits, including a fetching gold pair.
Not wanting to be outdone by the unbeaten Brit, Wilder marched to the MGM back in 2020 dressed to impress.
The 35-year-old arrived to the event wearing a fur-collared leather coat, with a gold chain and medallion hanging around his neck.
A gold-encrusted watch was also proudly shown off by the American, as well as a gold ring and jazzy, spiky footwear to prove he truly is the King of Bling.
On Monday, Fury spoke with the British media in a £375 Versace dressing gown about Wilder’s reluctance to talk in a previous press conference.
“I don’t care what they do. None of my business. I keep my own business to myself and I don’t really care what that big dosser does, nothing,” he told Sky Sports.
“I don’t care what he does. If he talks or he doesn’t. It doesn’t make any difference to me. Mind games don’t work with me anyway.”
Fury also warned Wilder that he doesn’t matter how well prepared he is for the fight, the outcome will still be the same.
He said: “I don’t think it matters, what he does, because it’s not about him, it’s about me, what I do. It wouldn’t matter if he ran around the ring in a circle, if he comes forward throwing bombs.
“It doesn’t make any difference. When we’re in there, I’ll adjust to whatever it is on the night and what he’s going to do.
“Winning is winning. An inch or a mile. I’ll take a knockout or I’ll take a points victory. It doesn’t matter, as long as you get the win, you move on to the next one.”
