Tyson Fury’s team release video of Team Wilder watching his hands getting wrapped – ending glove tampering claims
TYSON FURY and his team have released footage to prove there was nothing wrong with his hand wraps when he knocked out Deontay Wilder.
The furious Gypsy King had to deny wild accusations from Team Wilder that he had a blunt object hidden in his gloves during his brilliant seventh round KO of the American in February.
Wilder’s boxing brother Marsellos had claimed “no glove or fist” was able to cause the kind of damage the Bronze Bomber suffered in Las Vegas.
But Fury slammed the outrageous claims as “Bulls***” – and has now proved he did nothing wrong by releasing video footage.
The clip, revealed on BT Sport’s YouTube channel, shows the WBC king having his hand wrapped in the dressing room.
Head trainer Jay Deas and other members of Wilder’s team are clearly seen in the video and watch closely as Fury’s hands are bandaged.
After the clip ends, Fury says:“This is just a quick video to address all this foul play talk from Wilder and his team.
“I’ve just read an article before saying that I might’ve had some blunt objects in my gloves, yeah, two big 19 stone 7 – 275lbs destroyers in each glove.
“So yeah, getting punched up the temple may do that to ya.
“Not unless Wilder’s one trainer Jay Deas was in on the conspiracy as well, along with the Las Vegas State Commission guys who never left the room.
“Jay Deas was in the room when I had my hands wrapped, he examined them, he was in there when I had my gloves put on, examined them and everyone else was in the room.
“They don’t leave you, we all know this. So everybody citing foul player, BULLS***!
“And the next time, I’ll put a dent in his boxing career, end it, because it’ll be two knock-out losses in a row, bye bye forever.”
