Wilder: “By third round, my legs was fully gone; Surprised I went that long”

Deontay Wilder has once again blamed the 40-pound costume he wore on his way to the ring for making his legs heavy. Wilder doesn’t seem to be taking his defeat to Tyson Fury well. Fury had a stunning win over Wilder. The Gypsy King dropped the American in the third and fifth rounds before Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in the seventh session.  “I had no legs,” Wilder said. “I’m surprised I went that long. I had no legs, and I knew I was in for a fight with these legs and the condition I was in. It was crazy. But, you know, again, it’s nobody’s fault but mine. I wore the costume that was that heavy, and I paid the price. I traded the tribute to men and women [for] my title, and you know, as a warrior, I was gonna fight. My job was to fight under any circumstances, as a king, and that’s what I did. And I don’t take nothing back.” Source: Boxingscene
