Dana White Believes The Deontay Wilder Costume Excuse

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 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.”

Deontay Wilder Officially Invokes Rematch Clause, July Date Targeted.

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 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 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)

Tyson Fury’s Father Says His Son Would Retire Anthony Joshua

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 […]

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. 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?
