Fury Voices Concern
“I’m sitting here thinking about all the things Deontay Wilder has said recently,” Fury said. “I got carried away posting stuff, a video of me punching him out and whatever… I just deleted it. Rather than retaliate and hate someone, this man could have mental health issues, it’s obvious to see, and rather than go back and forth with him saying he’s delusional, I’m going to pray for him and ask God to help.”
Fury continued with a message grounded in self-control. “Of course he needs the help and I don’t get involved in pettiness. The battles have been won fair and square and that’s it. I’m going to pray for him and ask the Father to bring him back to the light. This man is lost, a lost soul, and I’m begging Jesus to return him to the Kingdom.”
Wilder holds allegations
Wilder stood by his view of the officials in their first fight and pointed to the score after Fury got up from a late takedown. “Being a dark-skinned black man is harder to believe than being a white man,” Wilder said. “And in that first fight with the referee, it’s white supremacy. You know what he did? He said, ‘what’s best for boxing.’ No, your job is to count out his a**. He gave him an extra 15 count.”
The statements re-emerged as Wilder builds towards the Chisora ​​bout in London, a fight linked to his bid to move back into title contention.
Fury admitted he initially responded to Wilder before walking away from the exchange and deleting the message that “Wilder is and was ap****. Little b**** and as*** house too! When I put it on him in Saudi he hugged me,” Fury said.
