Deontay Wilder once again accuses Tyson Fury, says “he flat out cheated” in their Feb bout

Since his loss to Tyson Fury in February 2020, Deontay Wilder has accused the WBC champion of cheating on multiple occasions. This week he added yet another bizarre excuse for his defeat. While talking to Brian Custer on The Last Stand Podcast, Deontay Wilder claimed that Fury's fingernails somehow penetrated his doctored gloves which allowed him to scratch Wilder's ear, causing it to bleed.

"I haven't yet heard valid proof of how gloves flap all the way back, why your hands were in the middle of the glove, why did my ear have scratches deep inside my ear? Because of your [Fury's] nails," he added.

In the 2-minute-long video, The Bronze Bomber claimed that The Gypsy King had a hard object concealed within his gloves, because of which he was able to inflict some serious damage on him. He also accused Fury’s teammate, Ricky Hatton, of pulling down Fury’s gloves “to put your hand in the improper position”.
