      Deontay Wilder insists Tyson Fury is ‘coming up with a masterplan to cheat again’ ahead of Saturday’s trilogy fight

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER believes Tyson Fury ‘cheated’ to win their last fight – and thinks he’s ‘coming up with a masterplan to cheat again’.Fury convincingly beat Wilder in their February 2020 rematch, and the pair are set to meet again next Saturday for their third and possibly final time.

      After over half a year of silence on the defeat to Fury, Wilder spoke out and accused the Brit of cheating.
      Wilder accused Fury of tampering with his gloves to put his fist in an improper position.
      He also believes that Fury put a hard object inside his gloves to deal more damage with each punch.
      The next strange claim was that his water was spiked, potentially by his co-trainer Mark Breland.
      And then he blamed fatigue due to the weight of his ring walk costume.
      The American also accused and fired Breland for disloyalty after he threw in the towel to end the fight.

      Ahead of next Saturday’s trilogy fight at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Wilder stands by his cheating claims.
      He told 78SPORTSTV: “You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time?
      “Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan.
      “But my thing to him – man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under.
      “You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out.”
      Such unfounded claims of cheating prompted a response from Fury’s dad John.
      John advised Wilder takes a leaf out of former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s book, who was gracious in defeat last Saturday after losing to Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

      The Brit lost his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world titles, but was incredibly humble – something John admires.
      He said: “I got asked about Wilder being like AJ.
      “You could never compare the two men. AJ had dignity in defeat, he knows what’s gone wrong and he’s trying to put it right and he will do.
      “The other one’s in total denial and has been talking absolute rubbish for the last two years.
      “He’s still talking rubbish and that’s what puts me off him as a fighter and that’s why in my opinion he cannot improve because of his mindset.
      “Tyson will know when to fight and when to box and I don’t think Wilder has the intelligence to cope with that on any level at all. Not knocking him it’s just the character he’s shown to me in defeat.
      “How can you learn in defeat when you carry on like that?
      “The American people love Tyson and I love the American people but I like men amongst men, I like men to be men. 

      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      “I don’t want them to be like spoilt children in defeat. I admire men in defeat with dignity.
      “Look at Manny Pacquiao the other day. You didn’t see him doing that, blaming his costume, blaming his team, slandering world champions, giving professional people a bad name. You can’t do that, it’s defamation of character.
      “Like I said before I would have had him in court, he would never have got a second fight but that’s politics and that’s out of my hands and like I said, I’ve got no control over it at all.”

      Tyson Fury’s dad John tells Deontay Wilder his son will ‘retire him’ and warns he needs to learn from Anthony Joshua

      TYSON FURY’S dad John has warned Deontay Wilder his son will send him into ‘retirement’, and tells him to take a leaf out of Anthony Joshua’s book on how to handle defeat. Fury and Wilder are set to meet for the third and possibly final time next Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

      The first fight between the pair in 2018 ended in a split draw, but Fury won the 2020 rematch convincingly, stopping Wilder in the eighth round.
      Wilder didn’t take the defeat well and claimed his water was spiked, as well as accusing Fury of cheating.
      The American also blamed fatigue, supposedly caused by his heavy costume he wore on his walk to the ring.
      John says Wilder should learn from Anthony Joshua, who was gracious in defeat last Saturday after losing to Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      The Brit lost his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world titles, but was incredibly humble – something John admires.

      John also predicts Tyson will send Wilder into retirement, and revealed his son ‘is going for the knockout and in explosive fashion’.
      He continued: “The way I see it, the result will be the same but I think he’ll get a worse beating than what he got before and it will be the end of Deontay Wilder.
      “It will be retirement for him, he’ll be too badly damaged because Tyson has been training to hurt him and hurt him bad and I mean that in the nicest way I possibly can.
      “He’s got people blowing smoke up his back side, saying he can do this and do that.
      “They can all talk a good show but when you’re under those bright lights and the man’s there in your face, you then realise that a formidable task is in front of you.

      “That’s when they smell the coffee and will he be able to deal with it? I don’t think he can. I might be wrong.
      “Tyson is a great finisher these days and he is in the hurt mode. He’s not going for a points decision. He knows it’s not possible in America.
      “Tyson is going for the knockout and in explosive fashion. That’s what he’s trained to do.”

      Fury was quick to respond, posting a snap of Wilder’s beaten up face taking a right hook from The Gypsy King.

      And fans have taken the opportunity to make the comments section a battleground ahead of next Saturday’s fight.
      One fan shared a snap of Fury going down after a powerful Wilder punch in the first fight.
      But they were quickly reminded by a Fury fan that the Brit rose from the ashes and gave Wilder a run for his money for the rest of the round.
      Another shared a video clip from the second fight of Wilder looking uncomfortable fighting off his back foot.

      One said: “Shorts too heavy.”
      The pair have been going back and forth for some time, with Wilder warning Fury to ‘train your butt off as if your life depends on it’.
      He said: “This fight right here, you better be preparing.

      TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder are ready to go to war for a THIRD time with their long-awaited trilogy fight nearly here.The Gypsy King’s showdown with the Bronze Bomber, which was supposed to take place on July 24, was postponed because Fury, as well as other camp members, tested positive for Covid-19.

      Fury demolished Wilder inside seven rounds to inflict the first defeat of the American’s career back in February 2020 and win the WBC heavyweight title.
      Neither man has fought since then, and both have been busy in longer training camps.
      The winner is likely to fight Oleksandr Usyk, who beat Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision in their heavyweight clash to secure the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
      Any match-up between Joshua and Fury now seems remote after AJ’s defeat, but Eddie Hearn promises the pair will go for a rematch.
      When is Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3?

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 was originally slated to take place on July 24, but will now take place on Saturday, October 9.
      Expect the main event of Fury vs Wilder 3 at around 4am BST.
      The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas plays host and Nevada is eight hours behind the UK, so the fight will begin about 8pm local time.

      What TV channel and live stream is Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 on?

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 is being broadcast live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      The fight will cost £24.95 on BT.
      In the US the event is expected to be live on ESPN+ and Fox PPV.

      How the fighters compare

      Who is on the undercard?
      The event, cross-promoted by Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions, will see a host of heavy-hitters featuring on the undercard.
      That includes the battle of unbeaten heavyweights in Cuba’s Frank Sanchez meeting Nigeria’s Efe Ajagba.
      Sanchez, a training partner of Canelo Alvarez who is promoted by Top Rank, will put his 18-0 record against PBC’s Ajagba, who stands 15-0.
      Robert Helenius will also rematch Adam Kownacki on the bill.
      Polish prospect Kownacki, 32, was defeated for the first time and stunned by veteran Helenius, 37, in March 2020.
      American star Jared Anderson will return, with an opponent yet to be confirmed.
      Anderson, 21, is 9-0 and was credited as a huge part in Fury’s win against Wilder last year.
      He provided the Gypsy King with expert sparring Stateside, winning the praise of the WBC champion.
      What have they said?
      Fury has recently been talking about how referee Kenny Bayless saved Deontay Wilder’s life in their second clash, despite the Bronze Bomber’s claims the fight was stopped prematurely.
      Fury said: “The final stoppage one was where I was catching him clean, I believe the referee actually saved his life that night and saved his career.
      “It was just like ‘I told you so’, and I am back where I belong and that’s it. There was no big miracle shock, it was like I was back where I was supposed to be at the top of the game, rated number one and back beating guys I wasn’t supposed to be beating.
      “Physically and emotionally I have managed to push myself and come back from places I didn’t know if I could, but it was a tough ride and I have enjoyed every minute of it.”
      Wilder, on the other hand, is more confident than ever he will have his hand raised in their massive trilogy.
      “I just want to beat his ass. It’s as simple as that. I just want to beat his ass,” he said.
      “I want it back in blood. That’s up to me. Come October 9, I will get my revenge. An eye for an eye, that’s what I’m looking forward to.”
      Where is Fury vs Wilder 3 taking place?
      Fury vs Wilder 3 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, making it the third different venue in pair’s three fights.
      Fury vs Wilder 1 took place at Staples Center in Los Angeles back in December 2018.
      The T-Mobile Arena will play host to Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder III
      And while their second happened in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand Garden Arena was the venue.
      But now the T-Mobile Arena, which has hosted huge fights such as Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin and numerous big UFC events, will play host for their third clash.
      Who is training Tyson Fury?
      Tyson Fury will be trained, once again, by SugarHill Steward, who took his corner for the second Wilder fight.
      Fury used to be trained by Ben Davison, who was in charge for the very first Wilder bout, but was replaced by Steward a year later.
      Steward instantly implemented his ‘Kronk style’ of training, one in which where boxers who fight out of the Kronk Gym in Detroit, Michigan, seek to put pressure on their opponents to force a knockout.
      The style of fighting was first introduced by legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, SugarHill’s late uncle.
      Fury predicted that with SugarHill in his corner, he would bring the fight to Wilder and take him out during their second fight, a prediction not many believed in.
      But the Gypsy King did just that, stopping Wilder in seven rounds. And now, with 18 months more Kronk training under his belt, Fury will be looking for the same result on October 9.
      Who is training Deontay Wilder?
      Wilder has brought in a new head trainer in Malik Scott, who the Bronze Bomber fought and knocked out back in 2014.
      Scott and Wilder have worked all summer in attempt to sharpen the latter’s boxing skills, quickening both his feet and hands in preparation for Fury.
      Wilder will still have ex-head trainer Jay Deas in his corner, but Scott will take charge on fight night.

      The Alabama native used to have former world champion Mark Breland in his corner, but he was sacked after Wilder accused him of spiking his water before the second Fury fight.
      It was also Breland who threw the towel in, forcing the referee to stop the fight midway through the seventh round. More

      Tyson Fury given green light for ‘big fight’ in the UK against WBC mandatory Dillian Whyte after Deontay Wilder trilogy

      by

      TYSON FURY has been given the green light for a ‘big fight’ in the UK against Dillian Whyte – so long as he first beats Deontay Wilder. Fury faces Wilder in a trilogy bout next, and WBC mandatory Whyte is expected to be called to face the winner.

      Dillian Whyte could be called to fight Tyson Fury
      All hopes of an undisputed title decider with Anthony Joshua were dashed after the British superstar was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk.
      The WBC are now likely to take the opportunity to mandate Whyte, who fights Otto Wallin on October 30, to contend for the belt.
      And Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum likes the sound of that and has even teased fans with a massive night on these shores.
      Arum told iFL TV: “Dillian Whyte is the number one contender, and that could be a big, big fight for Tyson.
      “Particularly if we held it in the UK, so that’s not out of the question. Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight.
      “A fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder, whoever wins on October 9th, would be a very interesting fight.
      “I think Tyson Fury is the much better heavyweight than Anthony Joshua, but it’s heavyweight and in the heavyweight division everything is possible.”

      JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET A FREE £10 BONUS WITH 100s OF GAMES TO PLAY AND NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED (Ts&Cs apply)
      Joshua, 31, blew his chance to unify the division with Fury, 33, after losing his WBA, IBF and WBO belts to Usyk, 34, at Tottenham’s stadium.
      With a rematch set to follow, it could be some time before either AJ or Usyk could then put the titles up for an undisputed decider.
      Whyte spent over 1,000 days as the WBC’s No1 ranked contender until he was finally called as mandatory challenger.
      But in August 2020, after a shock knockout loss to Alexander Povetkin, his title shot was blown up in smoke.
      Whyte, 33, later returned the favour in four rounds against Povetkin, 41, to regain his position as next in line for a shot at the WBC title.
      But with Joshua previously in talks for a unification with Fury the WBC had not officially called their mandatory.
      Fury was later ordered into his contracted trilogy bout with Wilder after a drawn out arbitration case.
      Dillian Whyte is the number one contender, and that could be a big, big fight for Tyson. Particularly if we held it in the UK.Tyson Fury’s promoter Bob Arum
      It left Joshua mandated to defend his belts against Usyk which ended in disastrous defeat.
      He is now set to exercise his right to an immediate rematch, leaving any unifications hopes shelved.
      So as long as Whyte beats Otto Wallin, 30, on October 30, he will find himself in line to challenge either Fury or Wilder.
      His promoter Eddie Hearn said:  “It’s a really interesting situation. Anything can happen.
      “In an ideal world, Tyson Fury beats Deontay Wilder, the mandatory is called for Dillian Whyte.
      “Dillian Whyte beats Tyson Fury,  AJ beats Usyk, and then we got Whyte against AJ for the undisputed next summer.”

      Tyson Fury ‘doesn’t look ready’ for Deontay Wilder trilogy fight but will still ‘win comfortably’, says Eddie Hearn

      by

      EDDIE HEARN said Tyson Fury ‘doesn’t look ready’ for his trilogy fight Deontay Wilder – but will still ‘win comfortably’. The heavyweight rivals will share the ring for the third time next Saturday in Las Vegas.

      It comes three years after they drew in 2018 before their 2020 rematch ended in a round seven whitewash for Fury.
      The contracted trilogy bout was then delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Gypsy King’s plans to instead fight Anthony Joshua, 31.
      But at the 11th hour he was ordered to face Wilder, 35, once more, and Joshua’s promoter Hearn senses the WBC champion, 33, is not up for it like before.
      He told Boxing Social: “Tyson Fury doesn’t look ready, in my opinion.
      “I still think he’ll win comfortably, but it does throw in the likelihood of a mistake happening.
      “If you make a mistake against Deontay Wilder, it could cost you the fight. He’s very dangerous.

      “I don’t see him [Fury] losing a round, but it doesn’t really matter. One mistake, and it can be over.
      “I genuinely hope he wins because I want the WBC to order the mandatory of Fury – Whyte.”
      Fury’s rematch win over Wilder sold a heavyweight record gate of £13million tickets as 15,816 packed into the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
      But British fans will be unable to fly to Las Vegas again due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.
      And due to the nature of Fury’s one-sided win last year, Hearn fears the demand for the fight is at an all-time low.
      Tyson Fury doesn’t look ready, in my opinion. I still think he’ll win comfortably, but it does throw in the likelihood of a mistake happening.Eddie Hearn on Tyson Fury’s trilogy with Deontay Wilder
      He said: “Look at Fury-Wilder; they’re giving away tickets. They’re reducing prices, and that’s one of the biggest fights out there, really.
      “It won’t do a five million dollar gate. Because mainly there are no Brits traveling. So in America, that fight is not a big fight.”
      Hearn added: “There’s zero buzz. I’m not just saying that.
      “There’s zero buzz for that fight because he [Fury] absolutely destroyed him [Wilder] in the second fight. And he beat him in the first fight as well.
      “The second fight looked like a mismatch. I just don’t see it doing the numbers.
      “Someone is going to have egg on their face. I don’t know what the deal is, but it ain’t going to look pretty when the balance sheet hits.”

      Watch Deontay Wilder training for ‘war’ in Tyson Fury trilogy and as trainer Malik Scott tries to motivate ex-champion

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER has been motivated by his coach Malik Scott to train for ‘war’ against Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout. The American will finally get his shot at redemption on October 9, sharing the ring with Fury for a third time.

      Firstly, the heavyweight rivals drew in 2018 before Wilder suffered defeat in the rematch two years later.
      A contracted trilogy was expected, until Fury, 33, tried to walk away from it to instead fight Anthony Joshua, 31.
      All meanwhile Wilder, 35, took his right to revenge to arbitration and at the 11th hour was awarded the verdict.
      Fury’s ploy to freeze out the former champion has not been forgotten, and Scott, 40, warned the bad blood has gone way past just a fight.
      Captured by PBC, he told Wilder: “It’s not a boxing match, brother, they turned it into something else, baby.
      “They tried to bury you alive. We’re going to war.”
      Wilder is then seen throwing combination punches and body shots, something not previously showcased in his arsenal before.

      After defeat to Fury, he sacked assistant trainer Mark Breland, who rightfully threw in the towel after seven one-sided rounds.
      Wilder also promoted Scott – who he knocked out in 2014 – from sparring partner and team member to full-time head coach.

      The odds are stacked against The Bronze Bomber, who reigned as WBC king from 2015-2020 with TEN title defences.
      But, that is just how the hard-hitting Alabamian likes it.
      Wilder said: “A lot of people when the tough gets going, they tend to give up. Everybody wants things easy in life, it’s just not how it works.
      “Certain things need to be tough. You’d never appreciate things if they came easy. You’ll never be perfect, but don’t mean you can’t practise it.
      “We’re going to be targeting the body, targeting the arms, we’re going to be targeting the neck, we’re going to be targeting the head.
      “There’s no body part that’s not going to be hit. In the end, my hands will be raised high in the sky, not because I whooped his ass in 12 rounds, but because I knocked him out.”
