Deontay Wilder’s first words after loss to Tyson Fury, congratulates Gypsy King

By Jeff Sorby - 10/14/2021 - Comments

Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder spoke his first words on Thursday since his 11th round KO loss to Tyson Fury last Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Although a little late in giving WBC heavyweight champion Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) credit for his great win, Wilder nonetheless congratulated him for his victory in a statement on Twitter.

Interestingly, Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) saved his congratulatory message to Fury until the bottom of his long statement, saying these words:

Last but not least, I would like to congratulate gypsyking101 for his victory and thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime,” said Wilder.

What upset Fury last Saturday night was Wilder saying that he had had no respect for him after the fight.

After all the accusations that had been said by Wilder leading up to the fight, he should have said something to Fury after their exciting war last Saturday.

But it’s better late than never from Wilder, and it’s great that he finally said something to Fury to give him that respect.

Teddy Atlas reacts to Wilder not shaking Fury’s hand

“First of all, he was concussed. You don’t need a doctor to tell you that he was concussed, believe me,” said Teddy Atlas on The Fight Game with Teddy Atlas about Wilder choosing not to shake Fury’s hand after the fight.

“To have to do that immediately after you’ve been concussed,  that is part of the scenario. We always want to see a gracious guy in defeat. Sometimes you don’t want to see a good loser.

“You want to see gentlemanly behavior.  Wilder is not a good loser. Part of it is he’s arrogant.  I don’t think he has the greatest personality in the world.

“Some guys hate losing and with some guys, it’s their protective system. Part of what he [Deontay] finds is his disdain for losing.

“I would have liked to have seen a handshake. I would have liked to have seen an acknowledgment from Wilder.

Deontay Wilder's first words after loss to Tyson Fury, congratulates Gypsy King

‘Hey, we did something special, brother. You were great, I was great. We just taught a lot of people out there how to behave in one of the most difficult situations in life.’

“What Wilder did when he was gassed was beyond physical. What Fury did after he got dropped twice was beyond physical.

“Wilder wasn’t saying these nasty derogatory things. He just wouldn’t acknowledge his handshake.

“He wouldn’t give back what was offered to him in that way. That bothered a lot of people.

“Wilder has a certain personality that not everybody is going to like. Who knows what’s truly behind it.

“I know he has a great story that I do like. He started boxing at 19 or 20. He started late,” said Atlas about Wilder.

  1. You don’t mention the law suits that you lost from the first fight do you. Nor the many law suits pending either, do you. All you do is paint some fake narrative for your fake champion. He can barely walk if he’s not cranked up on dope.

  2. Yes, Deontay Wilder remains the undisputed championship of all the heavyweights now or ever. Name one top heavyweight that dared to face Luis king Kong Ortiz. You can’t because they are not quite ready to get their face and body pulverized. But Deontay Wilder had the courage to fight and defeat him even though Luis Ortiz wasn’t a mandatory. Ha ha ha ha you are all full of excuses for your phoney baloney fancy pants fraudulent interloping intruding foreigners falsely claiming to be number one.

  3. Yes, communitivly you’ve tarnished Deontay Wilders legacy . But it took the whole lot of you to do it.

    • Why? You ask. Why Did I join forces with a bunch of cowardly cheats? The answer is simple tradition. Traditionally we whites attack the darker people of north America, Deontay Wilder is dark. If you didn’t want me to play the race card, you should not have delt it.

  4. Vinnie paz told us of the establishments plan to cheat Deontay Wilder and he was right. You can’t tell me atlas didn’t know just as much as Vinnie paz. So that means corruption, .

  5. If there is someone that knows boxing it’s Atlas. Ever since he got his own sho, he has sold out. I remember he used to tell all the secrets of the corruption in boxing. Now he lets.fury get away without questioning and holding fury accountable for big violations and nitpicking Deontay Wilder for every pesky little detail.

  6. Teddy Atlas always did hate Deontay Wilder. I saw an interview with both of them when Deontay Wilder was fresh out of the Olympics. You could see jealousy and envy in his eyes. Deontay Wilder was a kid then and because of the treatment he has received from Atlas, Larry merchant and max Kellermen Deontay Wilder has grown up and people don’t like it. Well they should have been fair with him when he was being so kind. Now they have cost Deontay Wilder. That get offensive real quick.

  7. Look at a picture of fury and Mark Brealand from three years ago. These guys have aged so much. They brought the curse on themselves. While Deontay Wilder seems ageless. I don’t know how he does it, it’s genetics.

  8. Greed will force another fight between Deontay Wilder and fury. Dunce cap wearing officials should be replaced with new blood, these are the same old cheater’s from twenty years in a row. They’re already retired living in mansions and going to country clubs golfing from all the money they accepted in bribes.

  9. For the record, Deontay Wilders teams objections to the old unpadded gloves were overruled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission approving them anyway. I saw them and they weren’t new gloves.

  10. This guy’s lied so much that he even thinks he is the legitimate champion. Ha ha ha. You fight with no padding vevas!

    • Typo, vavas . That’s a man with slobbering dripping out of the side of his mouth. Vavas, as in slobbering drunk. Ha ha, ya Winnie.

  11. Deontay Wilder is the baddest man on the planet. You have to cheat him to beat him.

  12. This idiot comes to my country with fingers clearly visible through the leather gloves padding repositioning advantage floppy gloves flopping around all over the place camera’s rolling bribed referee’s spiked water holding neck wrenching tripping rabbit punching and eggweight loaded gloves!
    And our expert Benedict Arnold traitor commentators are going along with it. ” Jesus Christ what a great champion that fury is, he whooped the bejesus out of Deontay Wilder fair and square.”

    • Remember that south of the border fella who joined up.with the cheater fury and took all of the Americas money, and laughed about not opening an investigation.

  13. Force a fair fight out of this interloping scoundrel aided and enabled by Benedict Arnold traitors, and he will see first hand the spirit of capitalism and the protestant work ethic by a swift kick to his backside by Deontay Wilder.

  14. If the lazy people in charge of insuring the safety of the fighters would do their job, you would see what really would have happened I the previous insulting to our intelligence fights. And that is Deontay Wilder proving to be the far superior fighter that he is.

  15. Who cares about Deontay Wilder shaking hands with a known drug cheating, proven glove tampering phoney baloney belt holder?

  16. This drugging opponents glove tampering with steroid use running rampant and fighting while high has an average of 13 deaths a year in the ring. And we know who the main proponent is it’s fury. This fella aught to be monitored like the British boxing board of control did in the UK. Drugging is bad for boxing.

  17. Bruce Lee was perceived as arrogant too, both Bruce Lee and Deontay Wilder perceived it as self confidence.

  18. Replaced by David Carradine as Kung Fu, a replacement for Deontay Wilder is fury.
    Now we all have finally slept well, thank God.

  19. I remember Teddy said the winners were decided in a restaurant a couple of days before the fight. Deontay Wilder was blackballed. It’s all been decided.

    • We agree with teddy. Deontay Wilder was arrogant as Bruce Lee, they both thought it was confident but it offends, it’s offensive to their peer group. They had to go.

  20. Canello uses chemicals to enhance training steroids like fury does. He avoids the best fighters just like fury does. And he knows conditioning and training, so he knows Deontay Wilder is in great condition and something else was responsible for getting tired into the second round.

  21. Deontay Wilder is under no obligation to be sportsmanship like in his interaction with a known cheater. Deontay Wilder is well within his rights to be upset with a bunch of hypocritical interloping intruders calling themselves being on the up and up.
    We could see the finger’s through the leather gloves in the first fight, and horsehair manipulation is a violation that is evidence-based cause for opening an investigation. The other obvious flopping glove issue, we.all know what happens, add that to the water spiking and eggweight loaded gloves that’s attempted murder. What the hell do you expect treating Deontay Wilder like a god damned slave.

  22. Oleksandr Usyk picked Deontay Wilder by knock out. He was absolutely correct Deontay Wilder was robbed and cheated again. Ever since Maricio Suliaman refused to investigate the allogations of glove tampering and manipulation in the first fight , laughing and joking about it instead of doing his job and confiscating the gloves, ordering immediate blood work, and insuring the safety of the fighter. The cheating has become more audatiously prevalent and covertly applied, however they couldn’t fool Maricio Suliaman because he is a very savy and experienced professional. So, we say Maricio Suliaman allowed these violations to transpire willingly and knowingly.
    If not, he may still open an investigation, the statute of limitations never runs out on fraud.

  23. The one thing fury is credited for is knowing how to box .
    Go on ahead and retire now. Any top heavyweight can win against you.
    Luis Ortiz, Dillian Whyte, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk can possibly take fury out.

  24. Eggweight backfist to the temple, right hand haymaker bare knuckle with no padding to the jaw,. What a great glove puller downer Ricky hatten has become. A left and a right, a right and a left. Jesus Christ this expert sure knows how to capitalize on spiked water. Good thing it’s caught on tape because there’s no way we’ll have an investigation on this one. Someone could go to jail.
