DEONTAY Wilder has revealed why he hugged Tyson Fury at last month’s Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight.
Fury and Wilder have shared the ring on three occasions with the Gypsy King winning twice and drawing the first fight.
The two were re-united in Saudi Arabia when Tyson’s brother Tommy beat Paul via split decision and shared a cuddle.
Wilder spoke to reporter Seckbach about the hug between the pair, and seemed to still be sticking to his claims that Fury is a cheat.
He said: ” I can’t stand that motherf***er. They know what’s up, he’s a cheater. But [Saudi Arabia] is a peaceful ground. There’s a time and a place.”
Fans took to Twitter to react to Wilder’s comments.

A third replied: “When will he stop doing this ? He got smashed to pieces two fights straight and is still convinced that he got cheated in some way.”
While a fourth added: ” Let it go man, would get so much more respect.”
