Deontay Wilder appears convinced that Tyson Fury will CHEAT to retain his WBC world title when the pair meet for a third time this weekend.
Fury took the first fight with Wilder long before he was ready, having dropped more than 50kg in order to get his boxing career back on track.
Still, The Gypsy King outboxed the then reigning WBC champion on the night, with Wilder’s two scored knockdowns saving him from defeat.
A majority draw left the rematch perfectly poised, with Fury heading into it without a shred of ring rust and absolutely destroying Wilder to become heavyweight champion again.
The pair are set to meet for a third and final time on Saturday night, with Wilder already getting the excuses in early, convinced that Fury will try and cheat his way to victory.

Wilder is told 78SPORTSTV, as quoted by the Daily Star:
“You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time? Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan.”
“But my thing to him – man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under.”
“You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out.”
Wilder’s conspiracy theories are not going to save his career if he loses again. He ought to focus on his training, rather than spouting this nonsense to the media.
