"Keeps pulling out all these night shift graveyard workers" - When Deontay Wilder ripped into Tyson Fury for agreeing to fight Otto Wallin

After their first fight in their legendary trilogy was ruled a draw, Deontay Wilder slammed Tyson Fury for delaying their rematch and accepting a bout against Otto Wallin.

'The Bronze Bomber' and 'The Gypsy King' went to war in one of the most memorable bouts in heavyweight boxing history in 2018. At the end of the contest, the judges ruled the bout a draw.

In the aftermath of the fight, Wilder and Fury constantly took jabs at each other, as a rematch was inevitable. Fury, however, fought twice before eventually rematching Wilder.

He faced Tom Schwarz and Otton Wallin before a clash with Wilder. At one point, the rematch looked like it may not happen, which was when Wilder slammed Fury for facing Wallin.

Speaking to Fighthype, Deontay Wilder said:

For his part, Wilder also fought twice following their first fight, before they would eventually face each other again. That said, the 38-year-old faced stiffer competition in Luis Ortiz and Dominic Breazale.

Tyson Fury would eventually end up getting the better of Deontay Wilder in the trilogy, as 'The Gypsy King' would go on to win their second and third fights, both by stoppage.
