Tyson Fury cheated before our fight - Deontay Wilder accused WBA Champion

Deontay Wilder, the three times defeated Champion has ordered for a rip-up of Tyson Fury’s boxing gloves as he alleged the Briton was cheating.

No doubt, Tyson Fury defeated Wilder to retain his WBC World Heavyweight title; however, there was drama just before the epic fight as the Bronze Bomber alleged that his opponent was cheating.

According to Wilder, Fury had a horse hair in his gloves, reducing the padding to consequently hit a harder punch and he asked officials to cut it open.

“What happened was Fury’s glove that he’s chosen, which is the same thing he had last time, had little to no padding. “The rest of it was horsehair, we thought horsehair was out of the question and was illegal, but they said it was [OK], so we said coolly.

“They opened up my glove padding is at least two to three inches thick. My argument was that this is not enough padding in these gloves.

“Of course it can’t go down but it can go left to right in the pad. I started to explain to him of course it can’t go up and down but it can be spread left to right.”

However, Fury ended the trilogy in the 11th round of the third fight, stopping Wilder who had been down three times before the ending.
