Stitch Duran shuts down conspiracy

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 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)

Joshua Fury

John Fury, father of Tyson Fury has warned British heavyweight Anthony Joshua against fighting his son. ‘The Gypsy King’ picked up the WBC title on Saturday night, bringing a potential undisputed bout with three-belt holder ‘AJ’ one step closer.

Speaking to IFL TV, Fury senior questioned Joshua’s heart and repeated Top Rank promoter Bob Arum in saying world champion is not really a fighting man.

“Listen AJ this is to you. I’m saying nothing wrong about you as a person, you’re a lovely young man. You’ve done a lot for your country; you’ve got the belts. But I’m only talking in boxing terms and in fight terms and I don’t think you’re a true fighting man. Bob Arum said the same thing, I was thinking it long before Bob Arum said it.

He then went on to send a warning to Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn about avoiding his son at all costs. Otherwise they risk bringing an end Joshua’s lucrative boxing career.

“You’re a nice guy, you
look well, you’ve got a big future but when it comes down to the beating,
fighting lion heart I don’t think you’ve got it. So, don’t mess with Tyson
Fury. Keep your belts, go and fight other people but don’t mess with Tyson
unless its worth your while, because let me tell you it’ll be the last time you
ever box if you mess with him. He will wreck you! 19 stone, 6’9ft wrecking
machine who will not stop coming forward. But he’ll come forward at you educated
and he’ll punish you and he’ll school you and he’ll break your heart. He’ll
make your life a misery and your life will never be the same again. So, think
on. Eddie Hearn that’s to you as well.”

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.

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 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’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?
