Tyson Fury Mocks Deontay Wilder's Cheating Claims: 'I'm Going to Cheat Again'
Tyson Fury laughed off allegations he cheated in his February 2020 victory over Deontay Wilder.
"You know what? I’m going to cheat again because I’m going to smash his face in," Fury said on The MMA Hour. "According to him, that’s cheating because he’s not supposed to lose. Unfortunately, I’m going to cheat again. I’m going to kick his ass, sea bass."
The WBC heavyweight champion added that, "Acceptance is a hard thing because nobody wants to accept the truth."
