Deontay Wilder’s recent comments have been criticised by Stephen A. Smith.
The American sports pundit has taken aim at Wilder after he made more claims about Tyson Fury cheating in their trilogy.
Wilder had said following Fury’s fight with Francis Ngannou: “After the fight a lot of people were figuring out what was going on, maybe he did cheat, maybe he did have something in his gloves [against me].
“All of these things are coming up now, everybody is saying that he lost [to Ngannou].”

And those comments caught the attention of Smith who hit-back.
“I’m pretty annoyed. For some reason this [Ngannou fight] prompted words out of the mouth from Deontay Wilder.”
“They’ve got trainers in the room, they’ve got folks that are referees and officials that are in the room when you are getting your fists taped up and all of that stuff.
“They test you after fights, the bottom line is you got dropped and Tyson Fury came over to you whilst you were sitting on your stool and said that he still respects you and Deontay said he has got no love for him, because he is a sore loser.
“If you felt that he was cheating, why get back into the ring with him, after the split-decision the first time? Why get back into the ring with him two more times?
“And if you are going to get back into the ring with him two more times, why not have extra people watching his gloves?”
