Tyson Fury hits back at Deontay Wilder’s brother over glove conspiracy theory

Tyson Fury has hit back at Deontay Wilder‘s brother after he accused him of foul play during the ‘Gypsy King’s stunning win over the heavyweight in February.

Fury stopped Wilder in seven rounds to wrestle the WBC heavyweight world title from his grasp in stunning fashion in Las Vegas.

Since the one sided affair, Wilder and his team have made numerous excuses for the loss, including blaming the 40lb weight of his ringwalk costume. 

Conspiracy theorists have also claimed Fury tampered with his gloves so he could inflict more punishment on his foe – claims strongly rejected by Fury and his team. 

Wilder’s brother, Marsellos, who fights in the cruiserweight division, has now made further claims in a long, rambling post on Instagram. 

He wrote: ‘It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent in the side of his head due to a blunt object struck against his head from his last fight.

‘No glove or fist was able to cause the damage according to the autopsy.’

After being made aware of the article, which failed to support, his claims with medical evidence, Fury hit back with a video post on social media.’ 

‘This is just a quick video to address all this ‘foul play’ talk from Deontay Wilder and his team.

‘I’ve just read an article saying I might have had some ‘blunt objects’ in my gloves. Yeah, two big 19 stone destroyers in each glove. Getting punched in the temple may do that do you.

‘Unless Deontay Wilder’s own trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well along with all the Las Vegas Commission guys who never left the room.

‘Jay Deas was in the room while I had my hands wrapped, he examined them. He was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them, and everybody else was in the room, they don’t leave you.

‘So everybody citing foul play – bulls***. And the next time I’ll put a dent in his boxing career, end it. It’ll be two knockout losses in a row, bye bye forever.’

Fury and Wilder have agreed to meet in a trilogy fight that was originally scheduled for July but will now take place later this year following the COVID-19 pandemic.
