UFC President Dana White believes Deontay Wilder’s loss to Tyson Fury was in part down to his 40lb ring walk costume. Last weekend White skipped his promotions trip to Auckland, New Zealand and instead watched the eagerly anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in Las Vegas. He was probably right to do so […]
Last weekend White
skipped his promotions trip to Auckland, New Zealand and instead watched the eagerly
anticipated rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in Las Vegas.
He was probably right to do so as ‘The Gypsy King’ put on one of the best heavyweight performances you’ll ever see. He dominated Wilder from the first bell, dropping the infamous puncher twice and ultimately forcing his corner to throw in the towel.
In the aftermath of the fight Wilder told media he’d be taking the rematch and claimed his loss was only the result of his ring walk costume which was too heavy and hindered him in the actual fight.
The excuse has been laughed at by many fight fans who are calling Wilder a sore loser. However, the UFC boss believes the costume excuse is legitimate and says it was surely a factor in the American suffering his first professional loss.
“I don’t know man. I think there’s a lot to it and you know. White told TMZ Sports. “Fury looked awesome. Fury looked great. Fury fought a great fight. Fury fought a perfect fight but, if you think about boxing and fights, when fighters are getting ready, they’re in the back, their relaxing, some guys sleep, some guys just lay around and chill. Then you get up, time it out and do your warm up. Then you throw something on to stay warm, you don’t put all this gear on and all this stuff. That’s why I don’t do any of that bullsh*t in the UFC, I don’t like it.
“It definitely played
a part in it yeah. Throwing on a 50lb weight vest and walking out into a ring
for a heavyweight championship fight – you’ve never seen anyone do that in
history. Is that the reason he lost? The reason he lost is because Fury is a badass
boxer and he fought the perfect fight that night and executed his game plan. But
it played a factor in why Deontay lost.”

Legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum has confirmed former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has officially triggered his rematch clause and will face Tyson Fury in a trilogy fight. Speaking to Ringside Reporter the Top Rank boss confirmed the process has officially begin to make Wilder/Fury III, he said. “Wilder and his representatives formerly notified us […]
Speaking to Ringside Reporter the Top Rank boss confirmed the process has officially begin to make Wilder/Fury III, he said.
“Wilder and his representatives formerly notified us last night that they have accepted the rematch and are going forward. It’s going to happen in the summer, before the Olympics, middle of July.
This news has already been fed back to Anthony Joshua and his team who had been hoping for an all English heavyweight undisputed fight. Arum insists that fight can still be made later this year, provided Joshua gets past another of his fighters Kurbat Pulev. The 38-year-old Bulgarian is the British superstar’s mandatory challenger and is believed to be taking on Joshua in June. Arum believes it’ll be Pulec who comes out victorious in that bout, paving the way for an all Top Rank unification bout.
“I told Eddie Hearn, I said ‘Stop looking at a Tyson Fury fight this year. You’ve got to fight Pulev in June, and Joshua is going to get knocked on his arse’ I guarantee you that Pulev will knockout Joshua like Tyson Fury knocked out Wilder.
“So yes,
I will look to make a Pulev-Fury fight to unify all the belts by the end of the
year, but Mr. Hearn will have nothing to do with it.”
“If Joshua beats Pulev and Fury beats Wilder, then why not do a Joshua-Fury fight at the end of the year. And we would certainly then sit with Eddie and work it out. So everybody is saying the same thing. But again, these fights have to play out first.”

Tyson Fury’s cutman Stitch Duran has spoken out to shut down a conspiracy theory surrounding his fighters win over Deontay Wilder. ‘The Gypsy King’ stopped Wilder inside seven rounds during their highly anticipated heavyweight rematch last weekend. In the first fight the ringside judges controversially scored the bout a draw despite Fury dominating most of […]
‘The Gypsy King’ stopped Wilder inside seven rounds during their highly anticipated heavyweight rematch last weekend. In the first fight the ringside judges controversially scored the bout a draw despite Fury dominating most of the fight. He left no doubt in the rematch dominating from the opening bell and forcing his opponents’ corner to throw in the towel mid-way through the fight.
The American has come out and made the most unusual excuse for losing. He claimed his ring walk costume was too heavy and impacted his performance. Something the designer has since rebuked.
Now, his fans have begun making claims
which are just as strange. One
prominent conspiracy gathered some pace. Many fans believe Fury’s gloves were
somehow tampered with allowing him to punch without cushioning in the gloves.
The video below started the conspiracy and has almost one million view on YouTube. It appears to show Fury’s hands moving in an unnatural way during the fight.
Speaking to Boxing Social, the legendary cutman played down any conspiracy and ensure everything was above board on the gloves situation, he said.
“I’ll
give you the facts, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is one of the best commissions
in the world.
“They
handle the gloves until it’s time to put them on. There was no tampering
whatsoever. I was there. It’s just a big myth.
“It
didn’t happen. That’s why you have the inspectors there to make sure everything
is followed within the guidelines. None of that happened, but it’s good for
discussion.
“It’s going to fade away. It’s not even true, it’s not even close to being true.” (Transcribed by Sports Bible)

The American suffered his first professional loss in a one-sided beat down at the hands of ‘The Gypsy King’. After seven hard rounds, including two knockdowns Wilder’s corner threw in the towel ending the bout.
Since the fight Wilder has only spoke only to confirm he would be exercising his rematch clause. He also placed blame upon the 40lb costume he wore during his ring entrance for wrecking his legs and causing the loss.
Now he has taken to Instagram to address his fans directly. The former WBC King has vowed to return to his best and regain the title he lost last week.
“Hello
my people, my Bomb Squad army, my Bomb Squad nation. To all my loved ones
around the world – I just want to let you know I am here,” Wilder said in
the video.
“Your king is here and we ain’t going nowhere, for the
war has just begun. I will rise again. I am strong.
“I
am a king, you can’t take my pride. I am a warrior. I am a king that will never
give up. I’m a king that will fight to the death.
“And
if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war,
don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the
title. I will be back. We will hold our heads up high.
“Your king is in great spirits. We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and regain the title. I’ll see you in a few months, for the war has just begun. All my love to all my people.” (Transcribed by Sky Sports)
Will Deontay Wilder beat Tyson Fury and regain his heavyweight title?
UFC commentator and podcast king Joe Rogan has offered his thoughts on Deontay Wilder’s strange excuse for losing against Tyson Fury. The former WBC heavyweight champion was stopped inside seven rounds by ‘The Gypsy King’ when the pair rematched last Saturday night. In the aftermath of his first professional defeat Wilder confirmed he’d be taking […]
In the aftermath of his first professional defeat Wilder confirmed he’d be taking his rematch option vs. Fury. He also said he was compromised during the fight due to the 40lb costume he wore during his ring walk. His claim has been ridiculed by the majority of fight fans and now Rogan has had his say. Speaking on his podcast alongside American actor and comedian Michael Yo he seemed skeptical about Wilder’s excuse.
“It’s unfortunate, he said. “I
put an Atlas Pack on my back all the time and I put a 45lb plate on, so it’s
about 55lbs and I go hiking through the hills. Afterwards I can still do
whatever the f*ck I want and I’m just Joe Rogan, I’m not Deontay f*cking Wilder.
The idea that Deontay Wilder with a 40lb outfit killed his legs just walking to
the ring, that’s crazy talk, I don’t understand it. I don’t understand why he
would say that. I mean maybe it’s true.”
His comedian guest Cho then
went on to explain Wilder supposedly had the suit on for up to 20 minutes
before his ring walk. With this information Rogan seemed to switch his stance
on the situation saying.
“It’s possible. It’s possible
that it tired him out it is possible he said. “Who the f*ck would let him put
that on? If that was that heavy. If it was 40lbs and got to the point where it
wore his body out as he’s walking to the ring.”
Upon reflection Rogan seems to
swing back around to his original viewpoint about the costume saying. He opts
to praise Fury rather than focus on Wilder’s costume.
“It’s a crazy decision (to wear it). No! That’s not what happened though. I mean it might have wore him out, it might have wore him out but the real big thing happened in the third round. When Tyson Fury, he put that jab in his face and hit him with a beautiful overhand right, right on the ear and dropped him.”
Is Deontay Wilder’s costume excuse the worst in boxing history?
