Deontay Wilder Speaks

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has made some startling accusations against current champion Tyson Fury. The Bronze Bomber alleged that Fury’s gloves were loaded, and despite that, it still took a “crab in a bucket referee and a disloyal trainer” to stop him.

  • The best thing for him would to getback in the ring and beat good fighters. He could start with Wallin.

  • That only thing that was “loaded” is Deontay Wilder’s BS accusations, because he can’t accept the fact that Tyson Fury schooled him in the first fight and completely destroyed him in the second. Be a man Deontay and accept the defeat like a man and not a sore loser…

    • Yes, you make a valid point. Wilder, for the first time, was purely tested, defeated, and taken clear out of his game plan. His ego has been damaged and his emotional recovery is a bad struggle for him. Wilder needs to get focused, get serious, and put in the effort to come back. Simply getting on social media and whining over other people’s issues that caused his defeat does nothing for his fight career, but spin it downward. So sad some folks struggle like this over a loss. I think losing sometimes is a good thing as it makes a person re-focus on how to improve oneself and not get in a slump. Have a good day!

    • I am a Wilder fan. The excuses for the loss are wearing thin. It’s hard for some guys to accept that they didn’t win. Fury made the better adjustments in the second fight. That was the difference not anything else.

    • i dont even like wilder but i saw fury hit wilder with his fist fury has never had power like that fury is a cheater and if wilder would have cheated like that that would of arrested him

      • You’re an idiot. You may not be a Wilder fan butmyou sure as fuck are a Fury hater.

        Fury caught him behind the ear with a lunch he never saw. Wilder doesn’t have the greatest chin to begin with and he never recovered, end of story.

        “that that would of arrested him”? Who would have arrested him?wtf are you even saying, you delusional spastic.

  • Sorry dude,but you’re losing the plot.
    Just concentrate on being the best fighter you can be and stop all these ridiculous accusations… It’s making you look bad.
    Mark Breland a disloyal trainer??
    He’s the only one who knew anything about boxing in your corner and did you a favour by doing what any good trainer would do and protected his fighter.
    You’re being disloyal to him!

    • yes Breland saved him and provided him the opportunity for another big payday. Wilder should work on his C level boxing skills.

    • Yeah, that’s the most disgusting thing. Going after Breland? Maybe if you weren’t on queer street for an entire 4 rounds he wouldn’t have stopped it.

  • Wilder’s allegations about Fury remain unsubstantiated. Wilder should think fast, speak slowly and accept his loss like a mature, honorable Alabama man.

    Wilder, please stop bringing shame to the proud State of Alabama.

  • Now I wish Breland wouldn’t have thrown in the towel, maybe it would have shut him up if they stretchered him out of there. Used to like Wilder, can’t say I do anymore. Bet I’m not the only one.

    • I hated the person but I liked him as a fighter even though he was garbage outside of his straight right hand. But now I despise him as a person and hope he get knocked clean out by whoever he fights next. I hope his career never recovers and he goes broke and lives with shame for his entire life.

      What a disgraceful disgusting thing to do. “disloyal trainer”? Fuck this guy.

  • I used to be a Deontay Wilder fan, but not so much anymore. Tyson Fury came into that fight with God in his heart, and he won with heart and determination. Perhaps Deontay could use some “inner” help himself.

  • I dont support Wilder putting blame on the ref and Mark Breland. Their faults were not noticing Tyson glove flopping around like a wet rag. Other than that, he’s simply stating what we all can see on tape.
    Not sure what’s wrong with you guys saying he’s embarrassing himself. You, keyboard warriors, complain about sick pay and the few hours on your check not looking right.
    A doctor told Wilder he got scratched badly in his ear and has a dent in his head from getting hit with a hard metal object. Give the man his rematch, and a fair fight, if you think Fury is so much better!!!

    • Wasn’t his 1st excuse he carried to much weight from the armor he was carrying into the ring? Than it was Brelands fault he never learned to box. And now his 3rd LAME AZZ excuse about loaded gloves that Tyson used. Man an EXCUSE a minute for this VERY LIMITED tear machine. Send him a box of tissues before he cries a river.

    • I would not mind seeing a re-match just to see if Wilder can improve his game plan and re-focus. Hey, why not! It’s boxing and it’s entertainment!

    • Lol. NJ Boxing… Where is the doctors quote that he got “hit in the head with a hard metal object”?

      Oh and he got a scratch in his ear?! Well call the cops quick… there’s the indisputable proof that Tyson’s gloves were loaded.

      He just chucks out another excuse every time he thinks of one. Cringe.

    • Yeah but first his costume was too heavy, then the gloves weren’t on right or they were loaded despite his trainer being in the room with Fury while they prepared his hands, then it was spiked water! Face it man the dude can’t face that he got his ass beat like a man and is looking for every fucking excuse he can

    • Delusional. Wilder can’t beat Fury. Fury will destroy him easier if they fight again. Breland saved his life and should be thanking him.

    • Gloves are checked before a fight. Wilder is showing he is weak internally by making absurd excuses. He has lost his edge now.

  • Wilder, could you please change your war name “BRONZE BOMBER” for another more appropriated, I suggest “BS’s BOMBER “

  • Wow!! That glove of Fury’s DID look odd bent that way in the video. I have never seen that shit in boxing before. And the behind the head shot that knocked wilder down was illegal! Yes, Fury boxed better. But Wilder is known for coming back, and his chance was taken by illegal shots behind his head that rocked his equilibrium that the ref ignored. And yes, that glove looked very suspicious! 3rd fight needs to happen. He deserves his chance.

    • I’ve been a boxing fan for about 50 years now and the flopping glove is clearly odd. Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for this? Most of the other things he’s bringing up, like the scratched ear and the supposed “dent” in his head don’t really seem like anything, but a boxing glove flopping around like that almost seems impossible. Even if you slap with an open glove when you throw a hook it doesn’t seem possible unless your completely limp wristed.

      And I thought I was the only one that noticed that the initial KD was from shot on the back of the head. Fury lands a lot of punches to the back of the head. I don’t think they’re intentional, he just throws so many looping punches that some are bound to land on the back of his opponents head which a LOT more dangerous than a low blow,

      I still think the best thing Wilder can do is start fighting again, especially against some challenging opponents.

      • Why the sport, refs, allow so much hitting behind the head compared to quickly jumping in to warn or deduct point for hitting low is upside down. Protect the boxer’s ‘jewels’ more important that the boxer’s brain, crazy. I know some people are going to say things like Wilder has also done that, well then he, the ref allowing it, was wrong as well, simple.

    • All the Wilder excuses are silly nonsense, except the fact that it was really a dirty fight of wrestling and hitting behind the head by Fury and allowed by the ref which should never have been allowed. If anybody agrees with this dirty fighting they are not purist boxing fans.

  • I have to say that while I was never a fan of Wilder’s I did gain a measure of newfound respect for him as a person with the way that he handled himself in the ring immediately after the fight. He was saying things like, “I make no excuses”, “the best man won”, “THE BEST MUST FIGHT THE BEST”, “everyone takes a loss and the greats come back”, “I wanted to go out on my shield” and even said “I hope everyone gets home safely”. But ever since he’s left that ring, he’s done absolutely nothing but make excuses to the point where now, going on 9 months later, he’s STILL making excuses and new ones.

    First it was Breland, then the unforgettable costume (that he chose to wear) which killed his legs, now we’re at loaded gloves and the referee. That’s a very long way from “I make no excuses”. I hope I’m wrong but something tells me that Wilder will wake up one day, a very old man, and losing this fight will still bother him, regardless of what he does with the rest of his career.

  • Wilder lost his sense completely.Months ago Fury and AJ announced their fight next year.No words from Wilder.Fury called him to sign the contract for 3rd fight.Again no word from Wilder.Now after all deadline have passed and Fury moved on Wilder is comming out of the hole.With all ridicules excuses and accusations.
    Moreover,everybody is enemy now.Coach Breland,referee,Fury and his team even Floyd Mayweather is enemy.Wilder is showing signs of mental breakdown.He needs medical attention.

  • I just looked up the word “delusional” in the dictionary. Guess whose picture appeared beside the entry?

  • Use to have respect for you but now I want you to just stfu. You lost – deal with it like a man.

  • LOOK IT WILDER YOUR TRAINER WAS THERE WHEN THEY WRAPPED FURY’S HANDS OR HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE… SO THAT LOADED GLOVES IS JUST AN EXCUSE… ADMIT IT LIKE A MAN AND MOVE ON… YOU GOT BEAT SIMPLE AS THAT… NO DISGRACE IN GETTING BEAT BY THE BETTER MAN AND YOU LOST THE FIRST FIGHT TOO… WHAT PERSON LET’S THE MANDATORY EXPIRE??? YOUR THE FAULT HERE AND NOBODY ELSE… SOUR GRAPES STOP IT… IT DON’T LOOK GOOD ON YOU!!!! AND THIS IS CHIPPERRRRRRRRRRR

  • Hey Wilder remember that Fury took your best in the first bout including a brutal knockdown. He got handed a draw in that fight and came back and knocked your dick in the dirt in the rematch. I don’t know why people keep saying Fury hit him behind the head when, that’s Wilder‘s money punch that he always gets away with. First legs were tired from preflight costume now he says loaded gloves? What’s next hemorrhoids LOL .. Be a man DW ask for rematch and prove everyone wrong.

  • Naseem Hamed, Rhonda Rousey and now wilder are three big name fighter who came to mind as people of shallow quality. All three couldn’t have been more on top of the world when they were winning but when they lost ! Oh how the world was against them and they couldn’t go on! Hey suckers look at the greatest Ali, he got beat and came back taking on anyone he could to prove he was still the greatest. Try to follow along..

    • In boxing you are only as good as your last fight. But more so now days. Earlier years boxers all fought each other, maybe lost, but then came back up again, was just part of the sport.

    • Shallow because they’re not as great as Ali? Or because they dedicated their lives to achieving world titles and then struggled with losing because they’re devastated? Of course the excuses are in poor taste, as is your judgement of their character.

  • The way I see it is that Wilder didn’t want the rematch and the team then took the flak for letting the contract expire.
    We hear nothing from him since the defeat and nothing from him when Fury started talking about fighting this year regardless of whether it’s Wilder or not. Surely that is the time to say about having an agreement?
    And why take so long to come out with this?

    I’m thinking Wilder wants to get in the way of Fury/AJ out of spite and not because he actually wants the Fury rematch.

    • Exactly… Fury wanted to get the third fight out of the way and even extended the contract past the six months originally stated. Now I haven’t studied the contract, but this six month date was noted by both parties as the time frame for a rematch. We’re like, what, 9 months now? If Wilder wants to be taken seriously, there are plenty of young, viable fighters he can fight in the next month to get back into the conversation. If Fury and Joshua both win and choose to fight each other, why not Usyk? Or the Dubois/Joyce winner? Either of those fights would build a lot of credibility and be big moneymakers in their own right.

  • I still don’t understand why Tyson Fury knocked the camera out in his locker room before he walked out! Was he and his team hiding something??? Maybe explains those flopping gloves. Something was off for sure. I’m on Wilders side on this one.

    • Wilders lead trainer was in the room when Furys gloves were put on and when his hands were wrapped. If they did something wrong why didn’t he or the WBC reps in fury locker room catch it?

  • His ear was bleeding because he was getting punched in and around the face repeatedly. He’s a joke.

  • Deontay, I’m a fan of yours. I spotted your talent and predicted your success long before the pundits did. Listen to me. You lost the Fury fight. Be graceful, stay proud and come back stronger. Making excuses is not becoming of a champion. The only people who can say they have never failed are those who have never tried. You try hard every day, so expect a disappointment or failure at some point. It doesn’t make you any less of a champion. It is the fire you go through, that like iron, makes you stronger.
    Finally, your trainer did the right thing. You will embrace that knowledge with age and wisdom. For now, take it on faith, respect him and work with him.
    Much more is to come.

    • I’m not a fan of Wilder but your comment is the best i have read of the 50 + who were written.

  • There’s a disturbing theme here…Wilder’s loss is everybody else’s fault! The deck was stacked against him – loaded gloves, corrupt referee, disloyal trainer – and still (STILL TO THIS DAY!), in Deontay’s sick mind, at least, he barely lost! All credibility is gone, but the conspiracy theory will live on, and on, and on, with Deontay Wilder and his nut hugging, yes-men crew members and equally delusional fans.

  • I used to have tons of respect for Wilder now he’s just acting like a little kid blaming the dog for eating his homework. Breland saved his life for goodness sakes.

    Despicable behavior at its best..or should I say it’s worse?

    I wonder what kind of ridiculous excuse he will have next time… the little hungry leprechaun ate the padding out of his opponents gloves..

  • Woah wilder that was a weird video. If you cant accept the loss and learn from it you will have no chance at redemption. You lost. Fair and square. Dont spew out bull. C’mon.

  • I feel sorry for Wilder. I really do. He got wooped & still has so many different excuses. He could had avenged his defeat now in December. But he knows that it is gonna take a lot of preparation to defeat Fury. He is really insecured right now. That is why he is begging for more time to prepare. Even if Tyson was to wait for him for an entire year, he may, most likely, lose in the same way. I feel so sorry for him.

  • Wilder, anthe dribble of a s ore loser is starting to flow from your mouth. You cant rely on one punch and your boxing smarts leave a lot to be desired. Grow up and take defeat like a man!

  • wilder has had his day,should never be put in the elite class of boxing ,now fury has sussed him out his opponents will know how to fight him .no skill and full of excuses

  • All bullshit aside, I’m concerned for Wilder. He’s actually starting to sound crazy! If he truly believes Fury’s gloves were loaded, he should be thanking Breland for saving his life, not blasting him for being disloyal. I get it, he’s embarrased and humiliated by the beatdown he recieved, he should be, but still making excuses and serious accusations- to this day!!! is a little strange

  • All this erratic behaviour is starting to remind me of Jermain Taylor. Take some time out man. Clear your head. It’s not worth it.

  • Fury should sue him, if for nothing else, to have him post a video of an apology publicly. Wilder was an indictment on the history of the WBC heavy weight division. He isn’t a boxer. He is an athlete with a powerful punch.

    • wilder should sue him if wilder would of hit fury with a loaded glove he would of been arrested just like in society we know who gets the benefif of the doubt

      • @Jimmy Clouse-Wilder should stop making excuses and take his loss like a man!

      • I want to know why Wilder wasn’t arrested for sucker punching as hard as he could that little actor in the costume on Spanish language tv. I also want to know what happened to that actor.

  • Fury must have beat him down even worse than he appeared. Wilder sounds like a man with a brain damage. If he watched his fights with Fury (*even the first fight), he should understand that he lacks in skills to fight a good fight against Fury. He may have the puncher’s chance, but since Fury has figured him out, their third fight will be even more of a beat down with a quicker KO. Breland saved his life. He won’t be there to save his again, and Wilder will surround himself with the people telling him what he wants to hear, which will get him destroyed maybe for good. Wilder already seems completely out of his mind.

  • Wow that was horrible. You received the dent and everything else from multiple,, multiple….. shots from a man over six and half feet tall nearly 280 lbs that can fight….. That’s what casued the end results. As a former amateur fighter with a loss on his record it is tough to take but take it and move on. I still like Deontay but brother do not take a third fight. You lost the first and lost the second badly.

  • come on stop the crying you are so outclassed it wasn’t funny you’re not happy with your trainer fire him and get one that teaches you how to box

  • Its funny how we as fans see the same things so differently. In my views Wilder was the champion at HW. He didn’t run around trying to pick up belts from lower level champions. He won his belt. He then defended the title in some exciting and entertaining fights against several boxers who a lot of fans thought was a higher caliper. After five defenses he gave the former champion a rematch. Next he faced Ortiz in a hell of a good fight with a dramatic ending. Next he faced Tyson Fury and got a draw. That fight had been examined to death with pros on all three sides, Fury won, Wilder won, fight should have been stopped like others when a fighter falls like that. Either way the official result is a draw. Next came Brazeale who many thought would beat or give the champion a hard match. Well that ended way too fast. Now Because of the ended with Ortiz he gave Ortiz a rematch. Keep in mind he didnt have to do this. Hell most wouldn’t and most have avoided Ortiz, but Wilder said he wanted to face higher caliper fighter and didn’t duck him. That fight was also an entertaining fight and Wilder pulled out another dramatic win. Finally Wilder gave Fury a rematch. Another rematch that he didn’t have too give. Another rematch with a fighter who showed all of Wilders flaws, but Wilder didn’t run and hide. Bottom like Wilder has fought like a champion and deserves his rematch. Its not his fault the world wide Virus issue is making these big money fights hard to cover. That doesn’t mean contracts mean nothing. As far as loaded gloves I personally don’t believe that. Since the gloves are held until fight day, wrappings are viewed and signed off on and everything is re-inspected after the fight I just think that’s a hard one to prove. I am as dumbfounded on the unbelievable performance that Fury showed that night. A non aggressive and defensive light punching HW for all of his 29 fights all of a sudden becomes an aggressive heavy handed monster in the ring. As a fan I have never seen that big of a change in the 40 years I’ve been watching boxing. If I were Wilder I would be wondering how it happened too, but in the end inspections of the gloves happened so we have to settle for Fury just said screw it and ran out aggressive thinking this guy can knock me out with one punch so what do I have to lose.

    • Derrick, fair post, and I always enjoy your opinions; but at first Wilder wasn’t wondering how Fury punched so hard, he was claiming his costume was the cause for his defeat; and if you can’t handle a heavy costume you probably can’t handle a heavy punch. As for Fury punching harder in the second fight, that too should be easy for Wilder to understand…a 6’9″, 270-pound Tyson Fury came forward instead of moving back, and set-down on his punches. And for the supposed loaded gloves, as you point out, that’s not likely given commission oversight before and after. For the record, I used to respect Deontay and figured, okay, Wilder lost, took his defeat like a man, but will quietly apply his energies to coming back stronger, better. However, the continuing excuses and conspiracy theories put forth by Wilder – costume exhausted him on the way to the ring, loaded gloves, a traitorous Mark Breland, and a dishonest ref in Kenny Bayless, not to mention post-fight hints of pre-fight injuries – has soured me on Deontay Wilder and caused me to lose respect for him. From the majority of the posts on this thread, it is obvious many fight fans feel the same.

  • Wow, this guy’s true colors are on full display.

    I always knew he was fake and a wack job. He never spoke without being a complete buffoon. Trying to act and sound a certain way. Then with the “I wanna catch a body in the ring” or the “I’m chosen by god” shit.

    He’s a cringy disengenous POS. I couldn’t even watch the Joe Rogen interview because it’s so fake. This guy has a whole choreographed answer to ever question. He didn’t answer one question as a genuine human beings would.

    It made me lose what little respect I had left of Rogen because he talks as if this guy was so genuine and cool in his interview. No Joe, he was a goofy character who is the exact apposite of the type of person you want to interview. You say you want to have real conversations with real people…..? Wilder is a fake good and that interview was one big pile of shit with not one genuine moment in it.

  • Man!! I like Wilder but its getting more difficult. He should be grateful that someone of his limited skill set was blessed with a big punch and wealth. Sometimes he just doesn’t know when to talk. At first, his costume was too heavy for his legs and now the gloves are loaded. He’s 35 and at this point he’s not going to learn anything new skill set wise. Just fight a few more fights and ride off into the sunset. He did what .0000000001% of the population will never do. Become a champion as a pro athlete.

  • I’ve watched this replay a number of times and the slapping of the glove is very questionable. As a retired fighter I have been hit by the wrist of a slap coming my way, while not a knockout type punch it can cause some disorientation.

    As far as his clam about a disloyal trainer, Mark Berland has more talent in his left pinky finger than Wilder will ever have. Berland was looking out for his fighter, giving him an opportunity to regroup and fight again. Wilder should be ashamed of this comment… Berland has provided Wilder a great deal of knowledge and will live on to train other champions.

  • Making a wide range of excuses and blaming other people for your problems is not something you want to see in a fighter. If he wants revenge, I suggest he try to objectively analyze what he failed to do in the ring.

  • Did you Fury fanatics ever consider that maybe his gloves could have been loosened at the top so that someone could slide them down and possibly put a foreign object in them? The trainers only watch the hand wrapping, not when the gloves go on. Not so far fetched considering how those gloves were flopping all over the place. I never seen a man’s face dented from gloved fists, especially from a guy that isn’t known as a puncher. Some of you talk about Fury like he’s this perfect angel and Wilder is the antichrist; the bias is disgusting but not surprising.

    • Whatever people say, the footage of Fury’s gloves will always be suspect. The anti Wilder fans can say whatever they want, they know themselves something is wrong here, they just won’t admit it.

  • The glove accusation has to be Proven-it isn’t clear like it was with Cotto-Margarito. We know a champion like Breeland was being a good trainer. That’s his role and judgement call. NOT being “disloyal”. If you want to stay in every fight till you get knocked the blank out then don’t hire a trainer at all. I like both fighters- but it gets old quick to hear Deontay start parroting the preacher style speaking method as a persuasion method. You can’t have it both ways-act the baddest man on the planet, and then use Biblical stuff when you fail as an excuse. Most children of preachers don’t revert to the alternative preaching style every time they have a challenge in life. They just toughen up and deal with it. Did you ever see Andre Ward use the bible as a reason for getting a Win or Loss?
    Are we supposed to believe that in every contest that one contestent or team wins or loses based on their faith or lack of it? If so, then what happens each time BOTH partiest are “believers”. Both Fury and Wilder claim similar faiths. I want to see these guys fight again with NO EXCUSES. At least Anthony Joshua can admit when he failed or it “wasn’t his night.”

  • And I’m not saying that foul play absolutely did not occur but you have to PROVE that clearly, not do the thing where you piece a couple tiny details together conspiracy style. I think this is the result of failing to look inward first, instead it was the referee, trainer, and opponent’s fault per D.W. Good luck, we all have to adjust in life. It is easier for some of us than others. I hope Wilder makes a comeback as the best he can possibly be. (maybe skip the heavy outfit this time)

  • Wilder is obviously under the dark side..I think he is dealing with demons but doesn’t realize it… He needs to find God… Just look at his demon costume…He talks as if he is under a transe..

  • Fury totally outboxed Wilder in the last fight, it is obvious that Wilder is not in Fury’s league, when it comes to potential competitors.. Wilder is a soar loser that needs redeem himself by beating some worthy competitors before getting back in the champions league..

  • Deontay is a shameless cry baby! Fury beat his butt & now because of his false accusation about Trainer Mark Breland he isn’t worthy of another title shot. Also, Mark saved his life by stopping the fight.
