Wilder releases statement

[Gandalf]

The excuses are peculiar. The club on the ear was rough and would explain balance and leg dragging, but he said the leg was a problem before the fight, then because of the costume. He doesn't seem to be thinking straight. Why could he not have worn a gown or a vest? The fight is the entertainment, Deontay.

A reliable boxing insider sent me this pic of wilder sparing in his gym.

It was having to carry all those Duracell batteries all the way from his dressing room to the ring. That outfit weighed as much as forty pounds! Ffs. Fury's head weighs forty pounds. Add on the rest of him and you're looking at about nineteen stone even if he had a few pounds in his pockets when he weighed in. If you can't handle carrying forty pounds for a few minutes how the fuck are you going to deal with nineteen stones of Pikey? It's got to be the most ridiculous excuse ever. He's going to take the rematch and get his arse handed to him again and I can't wait to see it now.
