Fury: Looks Like I’ll Have To Crack Deontay Wilder’s Skull Again!

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has broken his silence regarding the unexpected turn of events with Deontay Wilder.

Fury was close to finalizing a deal to face WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO champion Anthony Joshua in a full division unification on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.

But on Monday those plans were hit with a brick, when an arbitrator ruled that Fury had to honor a contractual rematch clause with Deontay Wilder – and he ordered Fury to make good on that obligation by September 15.

The contractual clause is connected to their February 2020 rematch – which saw Fury capture the WBC title by stopping Wilder in the seventh round at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Wilder would then exercise a rematch clause.

The third fight was pushed back several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Last October, Fury’s handlers advised Wilder that his rematch clause had expired – which is when the once-beaten boxer began a legal action to enforce his right to a third meeting.

Fury took to social media to explain that he’s ready to batter Wilder in the ring.

“What a joke Deontay Wilder has become. Asked for 20 million to move over #joker. Looks like I’ll have to crack his skull again!,” Fury stated.

Wilder’s co-trainer, retired heavyweight Malik Scott, recently stated that his boxer was not willing to entertain the idea of a rematch clause.

“Wilder declined and had no interest in step-aside money. Y’all dealing with a whole different type motherf—- over here. He want the blood, not that step-aside money. Retribution is upon us,” Scott stated.

Top Rank’s CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes Fury, has already reserved the new 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for July 24 – in the event a third Wilder fight will move forward.
