Deontay Wilder abandoned a talkSPORT broadcast this afternoon following a heated confrontation with presenter Simon Jordan over allegations concerning Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n

The American heavyweight had arrived at the studio alongside Derek Chisora to publicise their forthcoming bout on 4 April at London’s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

However, the promotional appearance descended into chaos when Jordan raised the subject of Wilder’s trilogy with Fury.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to talk about him,” Wilder declared immediately. “We’re here about Derek Chisora, we are not gonna talk about him at all. Understand that.”<\/p>\n

Jordan persisted regardless, questioning the 40-year-old about his longstanding accusations that Fury had tampered with his glove padding before their second and third encounters, both of which the Briton won.<\/p>\n

The situation rapidly deteriorated when Jordan described Wilder’s various explanations for his defeats as “flaky” and expressed disappointment in the former champion’s conduct.<\/p>\n

“Because I know the truth!” Wilder bellowed in response. “I have the facts. Understand that.”<\/p>\n

The Bronze Bomber then rose from his seat and advanced towards the host, prompting security personnel to step in and prevent any physical confrontation.<\/p>\n

“I don’t give a f*** about that!” Wilder continued shouting. “I said we didn’t want to bring him up in the first place. It ain’t got s*** to do with him!”<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old subsequently departed the studio entirely, bringing the interview to an abrupt conclusion whilst Chisora remained seated throughout the altercation.<\/p>\n

Wilder branded Fury “the biggest cheat in boxing” during the exchange, reiterating his claims that the Gypsy King had removed padding from his gloves prior to their contests.<\/p>\n

The former WBC titleholder also alluded to forthcoming evidence, stating: “When the documentary and everything starts to come out, I’m gonna show everything.”<\/p>\n

Jordan had enumerated several of Wilder’s previous justifications for his losses, including allegations of spiked water and a long count by the referee during their initial 2018 draw.<\/p>\n

When the host mentioned claims about Wilder’s elaborate ring walk costume being excessively heavy, the American disputed this particular accusation whilst maintaining the others were factual.<\/p>\n

Fury himself appeared to address the ongoing accusations just yesterday via Instagram, remarking: “You don’t hear me crying and moaning about it, saying someone cheated. That’s not me.”<\/p>\n

The bout at the O2 represents a significant occasion for both fighters, marking the 50th professional contest of each man’s career.<\/p>\n

Wilder enters the ring having endured a difficult period, recording just two victories in his last six outings following knockout defeats to Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker.<\/p>\n

His most recent appearance came last June when he stopped Tyrrell Anthony Herndon in the seventh round.<\/p>\n

Chisora, by contrast, arrives in considerably better form, having secured three consecutive wins including a decision victory over Otto Wallin just last month.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old Briton is expected to retire following the contest, bringing the curtain down on a lengthy career that has seen him face numerous elite heavyweights.<\/p>\n
