Almost two months after his devastating WBC title defeat, Deontay Wilder has finally delivered his thoughts over a potential rematch and lashed out at Tyson Fury in the process. According to Wilder, he does not see Tyson Fury as the real WBC champion. This could come across as bizarre to a lot of boxing fans as Tyson Fury was utterly dominant against Deontay Wilder in their last encounter on February 22. However, the Alabamian boxer believes that he was not the same person on that night. Earlier, Deontay Wilder blamed his 40-pound walk-out costume to justify his loss and this time the former World champion has claimed that he was not the same ‘Deontay Wilder’ on the night of the fight against Fury.
