Tyson Fury Opens Up About Glove-Gate 2.0
Lawrence Mack/Boxing Contributor
The very peculiar pictures of Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury‘s glove in the second bout with Deontay Wilder is stirring up questions. Fury’s lead glove looks smashed in and not inflated in pictures covered by numerous new media fight fans. The mainstream media has largely ignored or disrespected claims that Fury tampered with his gloves in the second clash with Wilder.
Last week Deontay Wilder‘s brother Marsellos Wilder came out with a statement claiming foul play. Here’s Marsellos statement: “You know it’s crazy when you [are] great. They gotta do everything that is underneath real to figure out how to stop you. And the most wicked sh*t about [it] is- people on your own team will do anything for the hate [or] money to help [the opponents] take you down. It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent [at] the side of his head [due] to a blunt object [striking] his head [in] his last fight. No glove or fist was able to cause the damage according to the autopsy. My daddy once told me if you pull a gun out on somebody, you better kill them. Because if you don’t, they are gonna come back and kill you. The king is about to rise again. We [are] coming for blood.”
With all that been said Fury came out today and addressed the claims by threatening to end Wilder’s career in the next fight, postponed to later this year. The former champ Deontay Wilder hasn’t made a statement and has remained largely quite during the glove gate conspiracy. Wilder blamed the loss on his pre-fight costume saying it was heavy and fatigued him before the fight.
Fury also said “Getting punched on the temple will do that to you, but not unless Deontay Wilder’s own trainer Jay Deas is in on the conspiracy theory as well, along with all the Las Vegas state commission guys who never left the room. [Wilder’s head trainer] Jay Deas was in the room when I had my hands wrapped; he examined them, he was in there when I had my gloves put on, and examined them – everyone else in the room too, they don’t leave, we know this.
“Everybody citing foul play, bullsh-t; and next time I’ll put a dent in his boxing career and end it because it will be two knockout losses in a row and bye, bye forever.”
The Gyspy King signed a two fight deal earlier to face Wilder for third installment and with a win will face Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua for unification of the division.
