Tyson Fury Delivers ‘Truthful’ Verdict On Whether Deontay Wilder Should Be Making His Comeback
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will forever be intrinsically linked after what they went through in the ring together.
These two boxing stars and famously extrovert characters will go down in history for their epic trilogy from 2018 until 2021.
The first fight came shortly after Fury had returned to the ring following a long time out dealing with mental health and addiction issues. As such he was not at his previous world title-winning best, but still managed to box to a draw despite being knocked down in dramatic fashion in the 12th round.
The next two fights saw Fury switch up his approach and box on the front foot. He mauled and battered Wilder into submission twice, leaving him with the WBC belt which he eventually went on to lose to Oleksandr Uysk in 2023.
Wilder has fought three times since the final loss to Fury – once beating Robert Helenius, but then taking a points loss to Joseph Parker and a knockout defeat at the fists of Zhilei Zhang last June.

Following those loses many within the sport have called for ‘The Bronze Bomber’ to walk away, but he has confirmed his return with his comeback fight expected to take place in April.
Speaking to Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry, Fury was asked whether Wilder should should carry on his career or hang up the gloves for good.
“Being truthful I’d like to see poor old Deontay retire from boxing. When I beat Wilder he was 44-0 with 43 KOs and he KO’d the guy who went the distance with him in the rematch.
So that means he knocked out every single person he ever faced and obviously lost the three fights to me. We took a lot of years out of each other’s life.
Even when he’s come back and had a couple of fights since, he’s only a shadow of his former glory. The only thing left about Deontay Wilder is his name.”
Unlike Wilder, Fury has decided to retire after back-to-back losses to Usyk.
