Much has been said about how Deontay Wilder handled his two losses to Tyson Fury, with the lineal champion saying that Wilder’s still a “sore loser” immediately after their trilogy concluded. Video also recently made the rounds showing Wilder refusing to shake Fury’s hand and saying “I don’t respect you” after their back-and-forth war.
Wilder also released a brief statement after the contest, where he simply said that Fury “didn’t come in at 277 to be a ballet dancer. He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.
