Deontay Wilder labels rival Tyson Fury as ‘boring’ and insists he only wants rematch to ‘shut his mouth up’
The Bronze Bomber has also criticised the Gypsy King's fighting style as their war of words continues
DEONTAY WILDER has ripped into Tyson Fury yet again after labelling his heavyweight rival as "boring" and irrelevant in America.
Both men were expected to get it in on again following their controversial draw in December, but the WBC have confirmed the rematch has been pushed back until later this year.
The Gypsy King, 30, recently signed an £80million five-fight deal with Top Rank in order to build his profile across the pond.
Wilder, 33, subsequently branded the former undisputed world champion as a “sorry muthaf*****”, while he also threatened to freeze the Brit star out of a future fight.
Speaking to , the WBC king said: "The thing about it is, I’m the key. I’m the puzzle piece to it all, especially when it’s dealing with America.
"You know, Fury is nothing here in America if my name ain’t attached to his.
"He’s a boring fighter. The only thing good about him is his mouth. He just talks. That’s it and the only reason we like it is because it makes us laugh, because of the accent. That’s about it.
"Other than that, every time they come and see this guy fight, he’s got one of the most boring styles in the heavyweight division."
While he also added: "I’m one of the most exciting fighters in the division because of my knockout power.
“People know when they come and see Deontay Wilder, it’s more likely that you’re gonna see someone get knocked out. And that’s what people come to see, knockouts, at the end of the day.
