      Deontay Wilder doubles down on Tyson Fury accusations calling Gypsy King a ‘f*****g cheater’ in behind the scenes clip

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER has once again blasted Tyson Fury as a ‘cheater’ in a behind-the-scenes training clip.The American is in the final stages of his preparation for his trilogy scrap against the Gypsy King this weekend in Las Vegas.

      He is a man on a mission, desperate to reclaim his WBC heavyweight belt that Fury ripped off him in February 2020.
      After Wilder’s corner threw in the towel after a seven-round pummelling, the Bronze Bomber gave a whole host of excuses as to why he had lost.
      One was that his ring-walk outfit was ‘too heavy’ and another was a ludicrous accusation that his coach Mark Breland had ‘spiked his water’.
      The well-respected Breland has strenuously denied those accusations.
      Wilder also threw shade at Team Fury, accusing them of underhand tactics to get the stoppage win.
      He has once again echoed that belief just days ahead of his shot at redemption.

      Speaking to PBC, Wilder said: “All I gotta do is half of that. He ain’t good, all I gotta do is half of that. He ain’t what people think. He a f***ing cheater.
      “I feel great. I have a great team, everybody’s just on one accord. And when you have a team that’s on one accord it’s like the instructions come even clearer.
      “And it’s like how can you go wrong when you have so many guys on the same page and looking for perfection.
      “You’ll never be perfect but that don’t mean you can’t practice it and here we’re practicing to make perfect so when I get in the ring won’t be no questions asked, won’t be going back to old habits and build right off what we’ve been working on in this camp.
      “My hand will be raised high in the sky, and not because I whooped his ass in 12 rounds, but because I knocked him out.”
      OUTLANDISH CLAIMS
      Wilder also hinted that Fury had a ‘foreign object’ in his glove in their second fight – and said that was what caused the huge lump formed on his head.
      He also claims the Brit’s gloves didn’t have the correct padding, which enabled him to carry out more damage.
      Team Fury has of course vehemently denied any wrongdoing, with the Gypsy King laughing off Wilder’s wild claims.

      Inside Tyson Fury’s Las Vegas afterparty following Wilder win with ‘hottest waitresses in world’ and his £106k bar tab

      by

      TYSON FURY reportedly celebrated with the ‘hottest waitresses in the world’ at a Las Vegas nightclub after dethroning Deontay Wilder last year.Just hours after ripping the WBC heavyweight belt from the Bronze Bomber after his seventh round TKO, the Gypsy King headed to the iconic Hakkasan nightclub back in February 2020.

      Fury, 33, is no stranger to celebrating in fashion after he attended a boozy pool party in Sin City following his KO triumph over Tom Schwarz in 2019.
      And DJ Mark Eteson has lifted the lid on what happened when the British star arrived to the venue following his Wilder victory – with a pyro dragon prepared for his arrival.
      The DJ – who is followed by almost 50,000 people on Instagram – even claimed that 30 bottles of champagne were sent to Fury’s table.
      He told the Daily Star: “The cocktail waitresses, who are the hottest in the world, come out with light sticks, a dragon and bottles of champagne when he arrives.
      “Anything you can imagine – it probably happened!
      “If you’re a big spender, or you’re someone like Tyson Fury, there usually will be someone who is spending $150,000 (£106,000) that night on their table.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER
      “With that amount of cash being spent on one night, on champagne, or the drinks they bought at the table, they really can pretty much do anything. They will bring out any presentation to make it a big deal.
      “They come out with some fireworks and stuff, but it does look pretty crazy when they bring out a dragon and thirty bottles of champagne – and it’s done by a girl dressed as Jasmine from Aladdin on a magic carpet, and I’m like ‘what the f*** is going on here?'”
      Before adding: “He is quite a personable person, he’s the Gypsy King, he’s for the people. Everyone loves him anyway because of how blunt, honest, straight-up and truthful he is.”
      And you can expect more wild partying from Fury if he comes out on top against Wilder this Saturday when they meet for a third time.

      Tyson Fury WILL fight in UK after Deontay Wilder trilogy bout with Anthony Joshua in promoter Frank Warren’s sights

      by

      TYSON FURY will have a ‘homecoming’ fight after his trilogy scrap against Deontay Wilder, says promoter Frank Warren.The Gypsy King is the big favourite to make a successful defence of his WBC heavyweight title against the American this weekend in Las Vegas.

      And should he justify odds as short as 2/7, Warren is ready to bring the undefeated Morecambe man back for a big UK battle.
      Speaking to BBC, the Hall of Fame promoter said: I think he’ll be back here which will be a great homecoming.
      “If Tyson wins the fight we’ll sit down. There’s a few options there. Usyk would be a massive fight here. The Joshua fight is still a massive fight.
      “Dillian Whyte is a big fight, providing he beats Otto Wallin which isn’t a forgone conclusion. There’s some big fights for him.”
      Fury says he was left ‘absolutely wounded’ after watching Joshua lose all his heavyweight titles to Usyk on September 25.
      Many believe it has put paid to any hopes of seeing the two Brits facing each other – which could have raked in around £500million.

      But Warren doesn’t think that upset is the final nail in the coffin of the all-Brit battle.
      He added: I do believe the public buys into that fight even if AJ isn’t champion. AJ’s said a lot of things since the fight [and] a lot of nonsense from ‘doctor’ [Eddie] Hearn about his eye.
      “You got beat by the better man on the night and Joshua said that, to his credit.
      “Joshua is a big fight. They keep talking about him still learning. He’s 32 years old. He’s an Olympic champion and world champion.
      “Of course you can still learn every day, but at that level, at 32 years of age, with the experience you’ve got and the amount of professional fights you’ve got, if you’re not absolutely world class at that level then you’re never going to be.
      “But having said that, if he did fight Tyson he would have a lot to prove and I do think the public would buy into it.”
      First Fury must get past Wilder this weekend, with the Bronze Bomber adamant he will become a two-weight heavyweight world champ.
      But after Fury battered him all over the ring in February 2020, most people think it will follow that same line with the Brit holding on to his WBC strap.

      Deontay Wilder returns to same ring outfit designers for Tyson Fury trilogy fight, after claims costume was too heavy

      by

      DEONTAY Wilder’s ring outfit designers are BACK for the Tyson Fury trilogy fight, and promise a new costume won’t stop the Bronze Bomber from winning this time round.LA stylists Cosmo Lombino, 57, and Donato Crowley, 53, have contributed towards Wilder’s fierce walk entrances with elaborate designs, including leather bejeweled masks, crystallised crowns and feathered cloaks since 2018.

      However, after Wilder, 35, was battered by Fury in 2020, one of the excuses that came out of the Alabama native’s camp was the ring outfit was too heavy and caused fatigue that aided a loss.
      Just days after Wilder’s defeat, Cosmo and Donato told SunSport they spoke with the heavyweight brawler to clear the air in an emotional phone call.
      Donato said: “We had an extensive honest conversation that put confusion and rumours to rest.
      “Reiterating that he considers us ‘family’, Deontay was very clear that he looks forward to future collaborations.
      “The subject of the call then turned to ‘Wilder vs Fury III’.”
      Cosmo added: “All of us consider it a privilege to contribute to the cultural professional legacy of the iconic Deontay Wilder.
      “As a fashion organisation, I see no greater honour or responsibility that our team could be entrusted with.”
      Revisiting that moment, the pair told SunSport exclusively their bewilderment at the criticism of their ring outfit, while revealing their excitement to be working with Deontay once again.
      “We were definitely surprised by Deontay’s coach blaming the costume weight for him losing the fight,” the pair told SunSport exclusively.
      “We went to great detail testing it to make sure that nothing would distract or get in the way of Deontay’s mental focus and ring walk.
      “The only additional weight in this costume would have been the lasers and battery packs.”
      Last year, Wilder’s outfit was a nod to Black History Month and cult 60s horror movie Devil Rides Out.
      This time round, Cosmo and Donato have teased a couture piece that’s an ode to Africa.

      Cosmo and Donato’s last creation was deemed too heavy and a reason for Wilder’s loss to FuryCredit: Reuters
      Clear the air talks allowed the parties to work together again, which Cosmo and Donato are very proud of
      It leans on Wilder’s roots going back to the Edo people found in Southern Nigeria.
      “This costume is very special to Deontay,” they told us.
      “He asked us to use red and black colours, which represent Wilder’s African roots.
      “The red represents war, while the black represents a funeral.
      “This time around, we created a couture surprise element that is sure to make heads turn and honour Deontay’s African Edo tribe.
      Cosmo and Donato understand the importance the ring walk has in providing the entertainment factor, as well as an important message.
      There’s also the fear factor it could bring, not that they feel Wilder needs that.
      “The ring walk is a powerful moment for the boxer to display to the world their chosen message in that moment,” they said.
      Cosmo and Donato began working with Wilder in 2018

      “For Cosmo and Donato our mission was to bring the embodiment of the Bronze Bomber to life in couture warrior form.
      “We’ve been privileged to be in the room with Deontay the day before a fight and were both astounded at the mental change that takes place when the Bronze Bomber enters Deontay’s psyche and remains until the fight is over.
      “We really don’t think Deontay needs an outfit to appear more intimidating, but we’ve had an absolutely amazing time designing these iconic looks.”
      Wilder’s ring outfits have been said to be worth up to £60,000.
      However, Cosmo and Donato are remaining tight-lipped on the cost of their recent designs.
      They revealed: “Well, the last costume was historic and priceless as far as we’re concerned.
      “We put our hearts, souls, blood, sweat and tears into that iconic and epic ring walk couture moment.
      “For his fifth one, well we’ll leave the price of that to Deontay to reveal.”
      On October 9, Wilder will be looking to avenge Fury’s knockout victory by defeating his old foe.
      Cosmo and Donato have revealed they’re backing their boy, who has never appeared more determined to succeed.

      “It’s Deontay all the way for us,” they said.
      “We’ve never seen him more focused than he is now. There is definitely a determination and fiery redemption energy, along with a sense of calmness of spirit in him at the moment.
      “We believe he’s reconnected to his roots, a tribe of true warriors.
      “He looks better than he’s ever looked and happier than we’ve ever seen him.”

      Whyte, 33, has been putting plenty of work in since his demolition of Alexander Povetkin in March.
      And the mandatory WBC heavyweight title challenger looks to be in the best shape of his career for the bout.
      Whyte posted a picture of himself at a running track with his arms outstretched to Instagram on Sunday night.
      And the snap showed the Jamaican-born Brit has shed a considerable amount of body fat for his clash with the Swede.
      His accompanying caption read: “October 30th. #maximumviolence get your tickets now.”
      Boxing fans were quick to comment on Whyte’s trimmer frame, with one saying: “Looking in good shape.

      Another said: “By far the best shape you been in.
      And another said: “Looking sharp
      One remarked: “Absolute unit.”
      Fan favourite Whyte is champing at the bit to go to war again.
      In an Instagram story update, he wrote: “It’s almost time for war again.

      “The calm before the I let the f*****g wolf out. I’m not coming to f**k about.”
      Whyte avenged his 2020 defeat to the recently-retired Povetkin in his last outing, blowing away the Russian in four rounds.
      But Team Wallin are confident of handing the heavy hitter his second loss in three outings.
      Promoter Dmitriy Salita told Boxing Scene: “I think that Whyte is a real champion, a tough fighter and wants to challenge himself.
      “As he has shown throughout his career, he’s willing to fight the best and take on tough challenges.

      “I think Dillian Whyte is a real fighter – he’s gonna come to fight.
      “I think he’s very strong, has lots of skills, but I do think that Otto is the better boxer, is more skilled, has a better ring IQ.
      “I do think it’s gonna be a competitive fight, but I do see Otto either winning a decision or stopping him late.”

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for massive trilogy fight

      by

      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.

      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’s promoter says Anthony Joshua will LOSE Oleksandr Usyk rematch and claims AJ has had ‘lucky’ career

      by

      TYSON FURY’S promoter Frank Warren claims Anthony Joshua will LOSE his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.Warren believes AJ will struggle to find a way past the Ukrainian after he was thoroughly outboxed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.

      And Warren adds that Joshua’s boxing career prior to Usyk has been LUCKY.
      The British ace lost his world heavyweight titles to Usyk after a unanimous points decision in London.
      And it means a potential showdown against Fury is off unless Joshua can win his belts back in a rematch.
      However, Warren believes Usyk is still too good to be outfoxed by ‘fortunate’ Joshua.
      And he instead wants to see the Ukrainian take on Fury in a division unifier.
      Warren wrote in Boxing Scene: “I cannot actually imagine a rematch turning out much differently.

      “I cannot see Usyk jumping on the party circuit and turning up horrendously out of condition.
      “Fortune has very much favoured Joshua since he turned pro.
      “The British public craved a heavyweight hero and got behind him in their droves, backing him to the absolute hilt and invested fortunes in ticket and pay-per-view fees.
      “The attributes Usyk possesses are shared by Tyson with interest, along with a size and speed advantage.
      “A fight between them is a natural one to make as we will now consider an alternative way forward.”
