Tyson Fury shuts down conspiracies about his fight with Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury has shut down conspiracies meant to dismay his win against Deontay Wilder back in February. World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Tyson was forced to respond, with video evidence, after Marsellos Wilder, Deontay’s brother, led a group that accused the fighter of foul play. ‘The Gypsy King’ stopped Wilder in the seventh round to become the new WBC heavyweight champion of the world in a stunning fight in Las Vegas. The two had previously clashed in their first fight in December 2018 to a thrilling draw. While multiple conspiracies surfaced on the internet after the WBC title fight, Tyson had to respond to the accusations because of how serious they are. Marsellos had alleged that “an autopsy” on Deontay showed that he got hit on the head with a blunt object. He concluded that since no glove or fist could cause such damage, Fury had ‘tampered with his gloves right before the fight’. "So yeah," said Fury, "getting punched up the temple may do that to you. Unless Wilder's trainer Jay Deas is in on the conspiracy too, along with all the Las Vegas State Commission officials who never left the room before the fight." Fury did not mince his words as he explained why he knows that the conspiracy stories are bull****. "[Jay] was in [the room] when I had my gloves put on. He examined them, and everyone else was in the room to witness." Jay Deas has not made an official statement regarding the accusations by his team or the Fury's response. Source: BBN
