Tyson Fury savages Deontay Wilder for Mike Tyson claim

Deontay Wilder

TYSON FURY is no stranger to making outlandish claims of his own. Ahead of his straightforward comeback against Sefer Seferi earlier this month, he compared himself to some of the greatest fighters in history. But he was unimpressed with Deontay Wilderโ€™s own boasts about Mike Tyson.

Fury issued a message to Wilder, the current WBC heavyweight champion. โ€œIโ€™ve seen another ridiculous statement from you Wilder, that youโ€™ve got more fear factor than Mike Tyson had,โ€ Fury said on social media. โ€œYouโ€™re a dreamer you are, honestly. Iโ€™ve never seen a man dream so much in my life. I donโ€™t know why youโ€™re taking the great Mike Tysonโ€™s name in vain and keep mentioning him when heโ€™s not even in your era.โ€

But Fury continued, โ€œHowever there is a Tyson in your era. And Iโ€™ll stop you inside five rounds, you bum.โ€

He went on to hurl insults at Wilder. โ€œYou big, lanky, skinner legged, dosser. You chinless bum. Iโ€™ll put my fist right through you. If you want to fight, come to the Mac Daddy, come see the โ€˜Gypsy King,โ€™โ€ he said.

โ€œAny time, any place, anywhere. When I challenged you to your face and you s*** yourself in New York City, come on, letโ€™s get it on. S***house. Stop mentioning Mike Tysonโ€™s name.โ€

Fury is throwing out the challenges, particularly for Wilder at present. Tyson is due to box again on August 18 at Windsor Park, but itโ€™s certain to be a low key opponent, probably much like Sefer Seferi. Wilder meanwhile is in the midst of negotiations for a major unification for all four heavyweight titles with Anthony Joshua and hopes are high that that, the biggest fight in the sport, can be made.
