TYSON FURY teased Deontay Wilder ahead of their heavyweight world title rematch by mimicking the Bronze Bomber’s affection to his fiancee Telli Swift.
Ahead of Friday’s weigh-in, Wilder, 34, was pictured backstage cuddling up to his better half.

With both fighters watching the television screens as they were focused on, Fury took the opportunity to mess around and began waving and blowing kisses to his opponent.
Initially unperturbed, the American responded by nonchalantly scratching his cheek with just his middle finger.
When Fury, 31, realised the camera was back on him he copied Wilder by getting cosy with brother Shane, sat alongside him.
At first, the Gypsy King played with his younger sibling’s hair while laughing away, before putting their arms around each other.
That forced another reaction from the stony faced Wilder, who placed his leg across Swift, 33, and slapped his backside.
Once again, Fury corresponded before pulling away from Shane and giggling away, even raising a smile from Wilder’s fiancee.
Philippines-born model and TV personality Swift has one child with the boxer after he divorced long-term partner Jessica Scales-Wilder.
She appeared on the reality show WAGS Atlanta alongside the partners of wrestler Cody Rhodes and American football star Derrick Ward.
And Swift is expected to be ringside in Las Vegas as Fury takes on Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title, beginning at approximately 5am UK time on Sunday morning.
