Both Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora appeared on talkSPORT today to discuss their officially announced April 4 fight in London. Much of the interview was pretty standard stuff, but things took a turn when Wilder was specifically asked about Tyson Fury. Wilder interjected to say that he didn’t want to discuss Fury at all as the focus should only be on his upcoming fight with Chisora, but after he continued to be pressed on the subject anyway, Wilder reverted back to old form before storming out of the interview altogether.
Wilder would insist on his position that Fury is boxing’s biggest cheater, that his water bottle had been spiked, and that he was betrayed by a former trainer in Mark Breland, before sounding off on host Simon Jordan for having a difficult time taking his word as a black man over Fury’s, a white man. Jordan would deny that race had anything to do with it, but that simply isn’t the lens Wilder see things through and he let that be known at a very high volume.
So after Wilder berated Jordan for a few minutes, with a little help and instigation from Chisora, he just couldn’t dial it down enough to continue on with the interview and opted to leave in the moment. You can watch the full interview in the video above by scrubbing back, or skip straight to the theatrics as I have it timestamped for when it really takes off!
