Wilder breaks his silence
Deontay Wilder addressed Tyson Fury
Former WBC champion Deontay Wilder demanded that Fury agree to a third fight after posting an unexpected statement Saturday night.
“It’s time for you to be a man and honor your agreement. What is that idiot of you fighting Carlos Takam in my place? You have to be kidding,” he posted on social media.
Fury demolished Wilder in a rematch earlier this year, but a third contracted meeting was shelved when the Brit announced he would fight in London on December 5.
“When you were going through your darkest moment, I told you that if you recovered it would give you a shot at the title,” Wilder said.
“Being a man of my word, I gave you a shot at the title.
“When that fight was a draw, I told you I would give you a rematch. You know I was offered more money to fight Joshua than to fight you. Again, being a man of my word, I fought you like I said I would.
“In the rematch agreement, there was a rematch clause. Now is the time for you to be a man and honor your word, instead of trying to make fun of our agreement. Scared people run but a scared man will break his contract.”
