Deontay Wilder's list of excuses for his loss against Tyson Fury
Deontay Wilder, who is known for his knockout power, lost his second fight to Tyson Fury via TKO in the seventh round of the bout.
What made the loss even more embarrassing for Wilder was the barrage of excuses that 'The Bronze Bomber' made after the fight.
The first was Wilder's claim that his walkout costume was too heavy and his legs burnt out. Thus, he was apparently unable to move in the ring.
One of the 'Bronze Bomber's most outrageous excuses for losing the fight against Fury was that the 35-year-old's water was spiked with a muscle relaxer which caused another hindrance to the boxer's movement inside the ring.
These excuses put off a lot of boxing fans who were previously loyal to the 'Bronze Bomber'.
