Deontay Wilder has blamed Saturday’s defeat to Tyson Fury on his ring-walk costume and has also confirmed that a third world heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury “is definitely going to happen”.
Wilder was dominated by Fury from the first round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, eventually losing the first fight of his career in round seven after the American’s assistant trainer, Mark Breland, threw in the towel.
Breland’s decision has not gone down well with Wilder, who was knocked down twice by Fury, and the American is now considering removing him from his corner ahead of the third fight.
