Deontay Wilder has reiterated his belief that Tyson Fury ‘cheated’ in their last fight and now claimed that the ‘Gypsy King’ will try to do so again in their trilogy.
Fury floored Wilder twice and stopped him in their February 2020 rematch, with the pair now set to meet for a third time on July 24.
In October, Wilder spoke out for the first time since March, accusing Fury of cheating in their rematch first by posting a video and statement on social media, and then following up with various interviews.
In the video, Wilder alleged the Brit tampered with his gloves to put his fist in an improper position.
He added that he believes Fury had a hard object concealed within his gloves to deal extra damage.
The American next claimed his water was spiked with muscle relaxers before the fight, potentially by his own co-trainer Mark Breland.
He also pushed further accusations of disloyalty at Breland – who threw in the towel to end the bout – and fired him as a result.
Ahead of their third meeting, Wilder has stood by his remarks.
He told 78SPORTSTV: “You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time?
“Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan.
“But my thing to him – man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under.
“You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out.”
