Wilder accuses Fury of cheating in their last fight

Deontay Wilder has sensationally accused Tyson Fury of cheating his way to victory in a video he put on social media.

The Gypsy King shocked the world when he battered Wilder from pillar to post to win the WBC heavyweight title when the American was pulled out by his corner in the seventh round.

It was also the Bronze Bomber’s first pro defeat.

Just 14 months earlier the pair had drawn – with Fury miraculously climbing off the canvas in the 12th round after a devastating haymaker.

The pair were supposed to have the trilogy fight before the year is out, but terms failed to be agreed and Fury is looking for another opponent.

Now Wilder has launched a scathing attack on Fury in a clip he posted on Instagram and Twitter.

And he accused the 32-year-old Brit of ‘cheating’ his way to victory by ‘putting something hard’ in his glove.

The 35-year-old said: “What you did is what my people deal with all the time, someone cheating them from providing their greatness into the world.

“I saw in the first fight when Ricky Hatton was pulling down your glove to put your fist in the improper position.

“Y’all tried the same method the second time, but this time you scratched flesh out of my ears which caused my ears to bleed.

“It’s impossible for a brand new ten-ounce glove to keep a smooshed in form or to have loose space. I highly believe you put something hard in your glove. Something the size and the shape of an egg weight.

“It’s the reason why the side of my face swelled up in the egg weight form and it left a dent in my face as well.

“But you still couldn’t keep this king down.

“In the end, it took a crab in a bucket referee and a disloyal trainer to throw the towel in just to stop me.

“Your payback is coming.”

Fury’s UK promoter Frank Warren reacted in disbelief at the latest accusations, believing the deposed champ is trying to distract from the fact that he ‘missed the deadline’ to sign for the third fight.

The 68-year-old told SunSport: “Deontay Wilder and his team had a contract for a third fight. They missed their opportunity to enact that contract and it expired.

“Anything else is just noise to distract from the fact that Wilder bottled it after being humiliated in February. End of story.”

Wilder also included a lengthy comment with the video when posting on Instagram.

He wrote: “Fury @gypsyking101 it is time for you to be a man and honor your agreement.

“What is this bull**** of you fighting Carlos Takam instead of me, you got to be kidding.

“When you were going through your darkest time, I told you that if you got yourself together I would give you a title shot. Being a man of my word, I gave you the title shot.

“When that fight was a draw, I told you that I would give you a rematch.

“You know I was offered more money to fight Joshua than I was getting to fight you. Again being a man of my word, I fought you like I said I would.

In the rematch agreement, there was a rematch clause.4″Now it is time for you to be a man and honor your word, instead of trying to weasel out of our agreement.

“Scared people run but a scary man will break his contract you coward Azz B****.”

And Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has also waded in, highlighting Wilder’s words on the prospective Joshua fight.

The American has previously said that it was the Brit who was ‘dodging’ him – but Wilder’s latest wording reads otherwise.

Hearn retweeted the Wilder video, writing: “I thought AJ ducked you?”
