While speaking during a post-fight interview with BT Sport, Tyson Fury revealed that Deontay Wilder told him that he didn’t want to show Fury any sportsmanship after their boxing match.

“I said, ‘well done.’ I don’t want to show any sportsmanship or respect.’ I said, ‘no problem!’… [I was] very surprised, sore loser, an idiot. Do you know what? To be a top fighting man, you gotta show guts and respect, and he couldn’t do it tonight.”

Now that the trilogy between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder had a definitive end, it remains to be seen what is next in store for both competitors.
