Deontay Wilder is currently scheduled to fight Derek Chisora in a highly anticipated heavyweight clash, drawing massive global attention. However, recent promotional interviews have largely focused on his controversial history with former rival Tyson Fury.
Initially, Wilder first went viral, claiming Fury cheated during their trilogy fights and insisting he possesses proof to expose everything publicly. Later, speaking with interviewer Simon Jordan, Wilder launched an explosive rant discussing white supremacy and systemic oppression within modern society.
The ‘Bronze Bomber’ expanded further, describing struggles of black men surviving modern slavery and historical injustice in contemporary culture. He claimed that the world is still concerned about race, and he was not given any benefits because of his skin colour.
Following these comments, Tyson Fury reacted publicly, mocking Wilder and dismissing his statements as outrageous takes. “Always bringing color into sports total B*llend ! It’s hard for all men! get on with it,” wrote Tyson Fury via Instagram.

According to Deontay Wilder, Fury is the ‘biggest cheater in boxing history,’ and he plans to prove it through a documentary. The American heavyweight has repeated this accusation for years, maintaining a consistent narrative across interviews, press conferences, and public statements.
Previously, Wilder cited excuses including a heavy walkout outfit, tampered gloves, and alleged manipulation during their championship trilogy bouts. Wilder also challenged Tyson Fury to sue him publicly if he believes these claims are false or defamatory under existing laws.

Tyson Fury warns of possible mental health struggles affecting Deontay Wilder
Tyson Fury has consistently shown respect toward Deontay Wilder despite years of rivalry, intense trash talk, and brutal championship-level encounters. After the fight, Fury attempted to shake Wilder’s hand in sportsmanship gestures, but the ‘Bronze Bomber’ repeatedly refused any post-fight reconciliation. Fury has always praised Wilder publicly, calling him the hardest puncher of this heavyweight era and acknowledging his unique, devastating power.
Despite recent controversial statements and escalating rhetoric, Fury believes ongoing developments have tested boundaries beyond normal competitive rivalry. Instead of escalating insults, Fury has chosen restraint, prioritizing concern over provocation while addressing the situation responsibly.
“This man really does have mental health issues, it’s evident to see. And rather than just going back and forward with him and yada yada yada, saying he’s deluded and all that, I’m just gonna pray for him and I’m gonna ask God to help him. He obviously needs the help and I’m not getting involved in pettiness. The fights were won fair and square and that’s it,” said Tyson Fury via Instagram.

Fury is currently focused on his upcoming heavyweight bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov and doesn’t want to be involved much in this drama. “I’m going to pray for him and ask the Father to bring him back to the light because this man is lost. A lost soul. And I beg Jesus to return him to the Kingdom,” Fury continued.
