You\u2019re only seeing what you saw \u2014 he didn\u2019t win nothing, they gave it to him. I can\u2019t think of our third fight, but in two of them, he definitely cheated. I\u2019ve got proof and evidence of that. When I do my documentary and movie about it, it\u2019s going to be presented. I\u2019m going to bring the people, and the artifacts, I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Wilder doubled down on his accusations, challenging Fury to respond legally if the claims are false.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWhy do you think he can\u2019t come back to America?\u201d Wilder continued. \u201cThe man cheated. He\u2019s the biggest cheater in boxing history. If I\u2019m lying, then please tell him to sue me for defamation of character so that I have the proof. I can\u2019t wait. Being a black man with dark skin is harder to believe than being a white man. And in that first fight with the referee \u2014 that\u2019s white supremacy. You know what he did? He said, \u2018what\u2019s best for boxing.\u2019 No, your job is to count his ass out. He gave him an extra 15 count. It is what it is. I speak with truth, heart, and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fury has yet to respond publicly to Wilder\u2019s latest cheating allegations \u2014 but if history is any indication, a response will come, and it likely won\u2019t be subtle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the latest boxing-related news and notes click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/boxing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is officially set to return to the boxing ring on April 4,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,36109,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-449994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news-results","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
