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 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?

Deontay Wilder continues to be in the spotlight.

Wilder lost his WBC heavyweight title after suffering a seventh-round TKO defeat to Tyson Fury this past weekend.

The American made headlines afterwards as he claimed his walkout costume — which was over 40 pounds — contributed to his defeat.

“He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is … that my uniform was way too heavy for me,” Wilder said. “I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior and people know that I’m a warrior. It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform.”

Wilder’s comments naturally drew criticism and ridicule from many in the combat sports world, especially given that he has a history of walking out to fancy costumes.

Now, footage is doing the rounds of his interview with Joe Rogan back in December 2018 where Wilder claimed he trained with a 45-pound vest on.

“We want to activate the fast twitch muscles,” Wilder said. “You know what I’m saying? We do everything with rapid speed. If I am doing anything that consists of me moving my feet is sprinting. And I wear a 45-pound vest on me, as well, in all of my exercises and everything I do to have the extra weight on me.”

That’s not to say that Wilder doesn’t get tired from his workouts. But all this only adds to the ridicule he has been receiving since blaming the costume.

Referee: I Was Close To Stopping Deontay Wilder Against Tyson Fury

Veteran referee Kenny Bayless was the man in the middle as Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury met in a heavyweight rematch. ‘The Gypsy King’ emerged victorious on the night to become the new WBC and Ring Magazine champion. Speaking post-fight via The Metro Bayless has revealed he was very close to stopping the fight and […]

Speaking post-fight via The Metro Bayless has revealed he was very close to stopping the fight and had even given Wilder a warning about what was about to happen. However Wilder’s corner eventually threw in the towel and saved Bayless the job.

“I looked him in the face and I gave him the line that us referees give the fighters to let them know, ‘hey, you’ve gotta show me something.’ They know that if you go back out there and you don’t show me something, then I might have to do my job and stop it. Deontay is a warrior, when I saw the towel come in out of the corner of my eyes and stopped it, Deontay’s first response was, ‘Why did I stop it?’ ‘Then I let him know it was his corner that stopped it, but I was very close to stopping it.”

Bayless also cleared up the situation regarding Wilder’s ear which appeared to be bleeding through much of the fight. According to the official it was just a small cut and not a serious injury as many first feared.

“I thought that the blood was coming from the inside of the ear,’ said Bayless. ‘At the end of the round when I went over to check, the doctor was already in the ring while I was picking up the scorecard.

“The doctor looked at me and said, ‘He’s all right.’ So, at that point I left it alone. ‘It wasn’t until after the fight that the doctor said Deontay wears those things in his earlobes, those rings, apparently that lobe got cut and it was the lobe that was bleeding, not the eardrum.”

Should Kenny Bayless have stopped the fight before the towel came in?

Tyson Fury Promoter Prefers Anthony Joshua Fight Over Deontay Wilder Trilogy

Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed he would be “disappointed” by the prospect of a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.

Fury outclassed Wilder en route to seventh-round TKO win to become the new WBC heavyweight champion this past weekend. Given how many felt Fury won the first fight as well, most observers would prefer for him to face Anthony Joshua next in a title unification fight rather than trilogy with the American.

However, Wilder has a rematch clause as part of the fight contract and revealed on Monday that he planned on exercising it. Warren can’t do anything about that, even though he prefers his fighter face Joshua next.

“I prefer to go straight to Joshua, but that is the contract,” Warren told BBC Radio 5 live. “It has to be honoured unless we can reach some accommodation for him to step aside. We could pay him to step aside if he wants to do that, but that is his choice.”

That is unlikely to be the case. Wilder will still feel he can win in a rematch while a third fight with Fury will likely be his most lucrative yet.

“It’s a bit of both,” Warren said. “It would be lucrative for him, but I have spoken to his manager and Deontay does believe he has the beating of Tyson, and he can knock him out. I don’t believe that. I fancied Tyson to stop him before the fight at the weekend. If he insists on the fight, we’re locked into it.”

Joshua, meanwhile, will likely defend his titles against IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev. However, Warren still feels a title unification fight can happen this year provided both fighters win their next outings.

“I want it before the end of the year, provided Anthony Joshua does not get defeated by anyone else,” he added.

Do you think Wilder has a chance in a trilogy fight with Fury?
